Your tweets will be deleted from Twitter&#8217;s servers and will no longer be visible in Search engines. If you want to keep your tweets private during this process, you can change your username and email address. Twitter will also send you a confirmation email. You must confirm the changes before deactivating your account. To deactivate your account, you need to go to your Twitter account and tap on &#8220;Deactivate Account.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_tweets_are_removed_from_Twitters_servers\"><\/span>Your tweets are removed from Twitter&#8217;s servers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to delete your account completely, you can still keep your tweets for 30 days. After that, you can change your username and email address. You can also submit content review tickets. If you don&#8217;t want to keep your tweets forever, you can still log in to your Twitter account and change your password. However, your tweets won&#8217;t appear on any new accounts.<\/p>\n<p>You can reactivate your account by going to the website or opening the app. Sign in using your username, email address, and password. Twitter may take some time to regain your account data. If you do not want to wait this long, you can try to reactivate your account. However, you should be aware that deactivating your account does not permanently delete your tweets.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Search_engines_display_your_tweets\"><\/span>Search engines display your tweets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering why your tweets are still appearing in search engine results after you deactivate your Twitter account, it&#8217;s because you haven&#8217;t deleted them. Google is constantly updating its search results and indexing web pages, so your tweets may appear for a while. However, they will likely disappear once the caches are refreshed. But if you&#8217;re not willing to wait for that to happen, you can try to delete them yourself.<\/p>\n<p>When you deactivate your Twitter account, your tweets will no longer be visible on the social network, but you can keep an archive of them by changing the settings. Twitter requires you to log in 30 days after deactivation. This means that if you&#8217;ve had a large following, these tweets will still be available to search engines. If you want to reactivate your account, make sure to follow the instructions on Twitter&#8217;s website carefully.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_reactivate_your_account_within_30_days\"><\/span>You can reactivate your account within 30 days<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you need to reactivate your Twitter account for any reason, you can do so from your web browser. It may take up to 24 hours for Twitter to restore your data and if you have not logged in for a period of time, contact Twitter support. If you lose your account through malicious means, Twitter will help you restore it. There is a support page for this purpose, which you can access by following the instructions below.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to reactivate your Twitter account is to change your username in the Settings. You must be logged in with your email address to regain access to your account. You can also use the app to change your username. This way, you can access all of your previous posts, messages, and photos. But be careful when deleting the account. If you have shared any personal information with others or have shared your Twitter profile with others, the other person may find it suspicious and delete your account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_hide_tweets_during_deactivation\"><\/span>You can hide tweets during deactivation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you wish to prevent other users from viewing your tweets, you can make your account private. This will hide the content of your tweets. This method only works when your account is still active. If your account is deactivated, however, you can still see your tweets by signing out. If you wish to block certain people from seeing your tweets, you must first log out of your account. Then, click &#8220;Manage&#8221; and choose &#8220;Block specific users.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can also deactivate your account through the Settings menu. After deactivating your account, your profile and handle will be deleted. Twitter allows users to reactivate their account intermittently, so you don&#8217;t have to worry about having your content removed completely. If you don&#8217;t want others to read your tweets, you can also choose &#8220;See less often&#8221; under the notifications tab. This will prevent your tweets from showing up on other users&#8217; timelines, as well as on the Twitter homepage.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"213\" width=\"381\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qpr3hZPnBcQ\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Happens When You Deactivate Twitter?
