X
Can I sort my timeline chronologically in the official X app?
No, the official X app lacks an official way to sort your timeline chronologically. You're stuck with the algorithmic feed that mixes in content you didn't ask for, which can be frustrating if you prefer seeing tweets in order.
How do I fix the memory leak issue that causes stuttering after heavy use on Android?
If the app starts stuttering after an hour of heavy use, close it from the multitasking menu to clear the memory leak. This is a known issue on Android, and restarting the app temporarily resolves the slowdown.
Why does my video upload fail silently when it's over 2 minutes?
Uploading a video over 2 minutes sometimes fails without any error message, leaving the upload button grayed out. To avoid this, keep your videos under 2 minutes or try trimming them before uploading.
How can I reduce the number of promoted tweets in my feed?
You can't fully remove promoted tweets since X is a free app, but you can fine-tune your notifications to limit some spam. Unfortunately, the volume of ads in the main feed is borderline intrusive and there's no built-in way to reduce them.
How does the official X app compare to third-party clients like Tweetbot or Fenix?
The official X app is free and offers core features like tweeting, DMs, and search, but it lacks the snappy performance and customization of third-party clients. It also has issues like memory leaks and no chronological timeline, which third-party apps handled better before API changes killed them.
