Sometimes, just getting notifications of your own retweets and mentions just aren't enough on X (formerly known as Twitter) to get a really good feel of the service. If you really enjoy reading someone else's tweets and you own an iPhone, try this article to get the tweets of another user.

Steps

Power on and unlock your device. Enter your pin (if one is required.)

Download and install the X/Twitter app for iPhone. Use the Apple AppStore.

Open the app.

Prepare your device to receive the push notifications for these tweets from users. Go to the Me tab. Tap the Gears icon, tap settings. Locate the option for Notifications. Tap on the option that displays your name along with your username along side the @ symbol that is displayed underneath the "Accounts" label. Tap the "Mobile notifications" option under the "Notifications" label. Tap the Tweets option. Slide the slider labelled Tweets so it is listed as "on"

Go back to find the user you'd like to view the tweets of on your device.

Follow Someone on Twitter.

Find the Person icon for the user you'd like to assign notifications for. Tap the "Person icon". The person icon should be located underneath the area for the total number of tweets the user has sent.

Tap the Turn on Notifications button.

Wait for the user to Tweet. You'll receive the tweet notification as a new line on your device as a now mobile notification item in Notification Center, either through a banner (as was set in Settings app) or through the single notification button. Tap it to show the tweet.

Ensure that X notifications are enabled in Settings. Your iPhone may be preventing X from displaying the notifications. Open the Settings app. Select "Notifications". Select X/Twitter from the list. Check that the "Allow Notifications" slider is toggled on.
