Summary

Twitter, now known as X, is no longer available on the Mac App Store, indicating that it has been officially delisted. Searches for "Twitter" and "X" on Apple's platform no longer return the app, and its URL now displays a message indicating unavailability. New users must now rely on the browser-based version of the service.

While some existing users can still access the app, others have encountered issues when using the iPad version on MacOS.

This could signal the end of the Mac app for the platform, which has been criticized for being buggy. Since Elon Musk rebranded Twitter to X in 2023, the app had not been updated on Mac for about a year, leaving the old name in place.

It's unclear if X will completely disable functionality for the Mac app. More updates will be provided as information becomes available.
