When Apple released iOS 11, the company removed built-in integration with Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and Vimeo, a feature that allowed iPhone and iPad users to store their third-party account information and access it within apps that needed to use those services.

In the meantime, users running macOS High Sierra can remove lingering third-party accounts from their Macs with the help of our how-to guide.
