How To Check If Your Twitter Account Has Been Hacked
Do you want to check if your Twitter account has been hacked and who had managed to gain access and when it happened, or just want to confirm what devices you have it setup on ?
Twitter has created a new security feature for its users, called Apps and Sessions, allowing you to know which apps and devices are accessing your Twitter account, along with the location of those devices.
Check Your Twitter Login Sessions On Smartphone

- Tap on ‘Settings and privacy’ section

Check Your Twitter Login Sessions On Desktop
