FAQ

Q: What is Nitter?

A: Nitter is a Twitter front-end focused on privacy. Read a more detailed explanation at the nitter project page

Q: Can I use a different Nitter instance besides the default?

A: Of course! You can set the instance url in the settings page. Read how to set a custom nitter instance in the wiki

Q: Why doesn't clicking on some links work?

A: Nitter doesn't support all types of Twitter features/urls. If you are getting nitter pages that don't have info or show "Unsupported feature", that's out of my hands. All I can do is redirect you to nitter and hope it supports the twitter url you clicked on.

Two types of Twitter urls that I know are not supported (as of 8/29/2020) of are:

  1. Topic links.
  2. Article links

However, if you have a twitter url that works in your desktop web browser with nitter but fails in my app, please open an issue and I'll try and get a fix out.

Q: Is this available in the Play Store or F-Droid?

A: Not yet. I'll be getting the Play Store version up hopefully in the next few months. I'm not sure if I'll be publishing to F-Droid at all but we'll see.

For now, if you don't want to checkout the project and build it yourself, there are release version apks added as assets on the Releases page for each release that you can sideload directly on your phone.
