Receiving twitter notification from signed out account

Yesterday my friend used my iPhone 4 (black) to access his Twitter account.


After finishing his "business", he deleted his account via the Settings > Twitter > "Username" > Delete Account. The notification did not stop even after the account was deleted.


Currently running iOS 5.

iPhone 4, iOS 5

funny how i can see your reply on chrome but not on mozilla...


I dont think it's possible to sign out of the actual App. When inside the App's "home page" (where you'll see the timeline, mentions, direct message etc.) there is a button on the top left <Accounts>, clicking that brings you to the page that previously had 2 accounts: mine and his. Swiping the accounts doesnt bring up the delete button (like in notes, email etc) and neither does clicking them (just brings you back to "home page". The "edit" function on the <Accounts> page only allows reordering of accounts, not a delete function.


So i assume the only way of "signing out" is to delete his account in Settings > Twitter > "Username" > Delete Account.


Thanks for the quick response.

This problem is ridiculous and is definitely a bug of the new iOS5 x Twitter integration. Somehow, the old account data is cached for notifications (maybe within notification center?) even when the account was deleted? This is a major security flaw.


Actually, it's also happening with Facebook for me. I have an iPad 2 which I'm passing down to my wife however now she gets notifications for all my twitter mentions & DMs and Facebooks replies, even though I removed all data relevant for my accounts. Come on, Apple!
