We recently issued an important update to the Twitter for BlackBerry app. We recommend upgrading to the latest version of BlackBerry’s operating system to ensure a successful installation. If you’re experiencing any problems with your Twitter app, please upgrade to the newest version. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Twitter Support can troubleshoot any log in issues or Twitter account problems on twitter.com and with our official apps, but we are unable to troubleshoot for the BlackBerry application itself. Below, we’ve provided a link to the BlackBerry support site to point you in the right direction if you need assistance.
