How to Stop Twitter or X Auto Refresh Feed on Phone and Chrome PC

How to Stop Twitter or X Auto Refresh Feed on Phone and Chrome PC

Quick Answer

  • Now I am proactive on X, and so are most of the people, and this is a serious issue for them, but this can also happen with Instagram, Facebook, or even with Threads.
  • You can multitask, but sometimes when you switch from an app like X and then come back to it, it will refresh or reload.
  • Once you have this extension installed and pinned, all the tabs will stop auto-reloading or refreshing, and you can carry on with your work.

This also happens when we are switching between different tabs. So, in this article, we will discuss how to get rid of this tiny but annoying issue once and for all.
