- About Lilach Bullock
X still calls itself Twitter in half its own menus, changes a feature a month, and answers almost no support tickets, which is why people search for help instead. This page is the index to 21 guides I've written on Twitter and X, grouped by what you're trying to do: understand a feature, get verified without handing over more than you need to, fix a video that keeps pausing, pick a niche that grows, or choose a tool. Each guide answers one question with the steps.
How to use this page
Scan the headings for your situation and open the one guide that matches. Each guide answers a single question, so you get the steps without a 4,000-word read. If the problem is technical, work the fixes section top to bottom: the guides are ordered by how often each cause is the real one.

Frequently asked questions
Why do Twitter videos keep pausing?
Autoplay is fighting a data saver or low power setting, or the app cached a broken version of the video. Turn off Data saver in Settings, Accessibility, display and languages, Data usage, then clear the media cache. The video guides above cover iPhone, Android and desktop.
Does Twitter notify someone when you save their picture?
No. Saving an image, screenshotting a tweet or downloading a video sends no notification. The only actions that notify are likes, replies, reposts, quotes, follows and direct messages.
What does X do with my ID when I verify?
X uses a third-party provider to match the ID to a selfie, keeps the result for up to 30 days for most regions and then deletes the images. The verification guides above explain what is stored, for how long, and how to request deletion.
Want AI doing the heavy lifting in your marketing?
I build the systems that handle the boring 80 percent, so you get your week back. Done properly, with the human kept in.
What are the best Twitter niches for business growth?
Niches where people already buy from strangers: software, marketing, personal finance, fitness and career advice. The niches guide above ranks them by how fast small accounts grow and how easily they sell.
Are Twitter Moments still available?
Moments were retired for new creation in 2022, but existing Moments still display, and pinned tweets plus lists now do the same job. The Moments guides above show what replaced them.
Another one I get asked a lot: Why is Twitter not working today?
