A complete guide to using the Twitter/X Apple version of the regional targeted growth tool

Recently, when our team was helping a beauty brand with Twitter/X growth, we found that it was particularly difficult to accurately target regional audiences—the product was clearly focused on the Southeast Asian market, but its tweets were always blocked by European and American users. Do you encounter this problem? According to the latest Hootsuite 2024 report, the interaction rate of accounts using regional targeting tools is 47% higher than that of ordinary accounts. This is a typical operational search requirement.

Twitter/X Apple version regional targeting tool setting tips

Many customers complain that even though they have enabled positioning permissions, they cannot see the expected results. DataReportal 2025 data shows that 78% of positioning failures are due to a mismatch between the system language and the target area. One of our customers set the mobile phone system to English, and as a result, the tweets were always pushed to users in English-speaking countries.

Step 1: Go to "General" - "Language & Region" in iPhone settings and change the region to the target market (such as Malaysia).
Step 2: Open the Twitter/X Apple version and enable the "Precise Location" permission in "Settings and Privacy" - "Privacy and Security".

Step 2: Click the "Advanced Search" icon and set the "Tweet Language" to Japanese to ensure the relevance of the content.

The Statista 2025 report pointed out that the CPM of regionally targeted advertising is 32% lower than that of general advertising, but many advertisers will not advertise in different time periods.

Step 1: Enter the Twitter/X advertising backend and check "Specific City/Zip Code" under the "Audience" tab.
Step 2: Use the "Budget Optimization" function to set the local prime time budget to be twice that of other time periods.
