So you thought it would be a great idea to have your Tweets show up on Facebook? I thought the same thing. But then I realized that I didn’t want Tweets popping up on Facebook. I just thought it was rude to inundate friends on Facebook with tons of tweets. They are different forms of social networking and I decided to seperate the two. I searched for instructions on how to do this, but I didn’t have any luck. I found a bunch of people wondering how to turn off Twitter on Facebook. So here is how I did it:
1. Click on Settings and select Application settings.
2. Scroll down the list of applications to the Twitter application. Click on Edit Twitter Settings and then click on Never publish stories from Twitter.
3. Log in to your twitter account and send out a Twitter. Check your Facebook account to make sure no Tweets are posting to your Facebook page.
I recommend this because at times Facebook glitches and fails to update setting changes.
UPDATE:
I posted this in March. At the time this was the only option to unlink. If you know an easier way, please leave a comment or a link. Thanks!
Since Facebook has updated it’s interface I solved this issue a little differently. Here’s what I did:
1. I Clicked on Application Settings under the main “Account” tab
2.Then clicked on the scroll down button to where it says “Authorized”.
3. Hit the “X” button to remove my twitter application.
4. I was finally FREE from all the annoying Twitter updates on my Facebook Page n my friends LOVE me again!
Thank you so much for your help!!!
Thank you SO much for this simple way to turn off this feature that I too, thought would be brilliant.
Appreciate it very much!

Hi,
So I tried finding the Twitter application in my FB applications. It wasn’t showing, but my tweets kept showing up on my wall. Quite annoying for me and my friends since my tweets are linked to my business account. I went to twitter help, they have a section which walks you through linking FB and Twitter, this same link allows you to Allow or Deny access. Success, my accounts are no longer linked. Here’s the link:
http://apps.facebook.com/twitter/
I looked and looked and couldn’t find an answer that worked, and finally figured it out.
Click to get on your Profile page.
Right under the Status Update box, there is a pale blue word: “Options” – click it
Right where you clicked “Options” will now appear the word “Settings” – click it
At the bottom of the short list of things you can now do, you will see “Application Settings”. Click on the blue words, “Application Settings Page”
A screen with all of your Applications will now appear.
Scroll down through the gazillion quizzes you have taken and find Twitter.
Click on far right, “Edit Settings”
Look for the setting “Post updates to my wall”
Click “Remove”
That should do it!
They’ll probably change it again but as of 11/8/10, this works. Sheesh.
with another interface update now you have to click Account: Account Settings: Notifications (tab): scroll down and uncheck Twitter under Other Applications
Hey,
Things seem to have changed. So this worked for me when I unlinked youtube and facebook just now:
1. search for \twitter\
2. choose view all results
3. click on applications in the left column
4. chose twitter application
5. click on go to application
6. chose leave application
Good luck!
My method:
1. Click on Account » Privacy Settings
2. Under Applications and websites, click on Edit your Settings.
3. Click the ‘X’ to remove the applications.
Realmente útil!
muchas gracias…nos ha servido mucho vuestra sencilla explicación.
Updated – easier to do, but harder to find. This link worked as of 6/23/11:
https://www.facebook.com/twitter/
Good luck!
It took me awhile to realize that I had linked my twitter to facebook through twitter (I couldn’t find any link on my facebook) so I went to my twitter account and under SETTINGS>APPLICATIONS, I selected “revoke access” when it came to my facebook page being linked with my twitter.
Thanks to the method of Bryan // Dec 6, 2010 at 10:30 am I was successful!
Thank you very much for helping me with this!! I really appreciate it. I had no idea how to unlink twitter and facebook until visiting your site. Have a great day!
Thanks for sharing. Your directions were perfect.
Thank you! Now, do you know the trick to getting a Tweet from a business Twitter account to post to a Facebook Page (again, a business side) without first posting to your personal FB page?
