Twitter isn’t shy about pushing unsolicited alerts, so you may have already seen Spaces mentioned without reason or warning. To draw attention to its new tool, Twitter notifies you whenever someone you follow is hosting a session.

If you’d prefer to ignore Twitter’s new meeting feature, a quick trip into your settings will restore ignorance and help you avoid yet another social media distraction. Let’s discuss how to disable Spaces notifications on mobile and desktop.
