Here is the step by step guide on monitoring your mentions on Twitter

Alternatively, monitoring mentions on Twitter is much easier when you use the website or pc version. It is easier to configure and also do some added details or monitoring to your purpose. If you happen to have something important, then it is advisable to use the desktop site.

First Method

  • Log in to Twitter: The first thing that you may want to do is to Log into your Twitter account using a web browser.
  • Notifications: The second step is opening your notification tab. This way, you can be able to see or track the different notifications of your twitter account.
  • Navigate Mentions: Once you have entered the notification tab on your browser, besides all the notifications is the “Mentions.” This is where all the mentions are placed.
  • You are done: You can scroll down to look for more mentions.

Second Method

If you happen just to need to track it easier and you have no time to switch in the website browser, here is the step that you can monitor your mentions with either the use of both browser and smartphones.

  • Log in to Twitter: like the first method, you should make sure that it is your account to be taken action of. Complete the login process.
  • Search bar: unlike the first method, this method is quite easier. Go to the search bar, usually located on top of the webpage.
  • Search: Locate the mention you are trying to search by using the search bar. Type @ and the username of the person you want to monitor. Ex. @username
  • You are done: this lets you monitor the mentions but works on public or account you are following.
  • Alternatively, follow the mention alerts guide here

Overall, both methods work in both ways and arrive at the same outcome. But the first method seems to be specific. Since the username of the person can be changed over time, the second method seems to be difficult in terms of use since you cannot be able to locate them if they happen to change their username. The first method applies both ways, the only struggle is finding them if they are too far from the recent mentions.
