Thousands of other people have also asked the same question. Twitter deactivates an account when they&#8217;ve been inactive for 30 days or 12 months. If you&#8217;ve tried that, you&#8217;ve probably come to the same conclusion. There are several steps you can take to get your account back. Read on to find out how to do so.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reactivating_a_deactivated_account\"><\/span>Reactivating a deactivated account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To reactivate a deactivated Twitter account, you need to follow a few simple steps. First, you should choose the option titled &#8216;Your account&#8217;. A list of account options will appear. Click on the option titled &#8216;Deactivate your account.&#8217; Twitter will then ask you to confirm your password and confirm your decision to reactivate your account. If you do not wish to reactivate your account, you can simply delete it for good after the reactivation period is over.<\/p>\n<p>You can reactivate a deactivated Twitter account if you do not use it for at least 30 days. If you do not see the reactivation option, you need to create a new account. However, you can try logging in later to try again. If you find that the 30-day period has already elapsed, you can raise the issue with Twitter support team.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reactivating_a_deactivated_account_after_30_days\"><\/span>Reactivating a deactivated account after 30 days<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may be wondering how to reactivate a deactivated Twitter account after 30 day. There are several ways to do this. If you have a linked email account such as Gmail, you should log in and select &#8220;Reactivate&#8221;. Next, click the link to enter your Twitter username and indicate the reason for deactivation. If the link does not work, you can contact Twitter support and they will help you reactivate the account.<\/p>\n<p>If you have forgotten your password or username, you can reactivate your account. If you haven&#8217;t logged into your Twitter account in 30 days, you can request for it to be restored. Then, follow the instructions on the website. Twitter provides a contact form that you can use to request reactivation. After contacting Twitter support, you will receive a confirmation email containing details about how to reactivate your account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reactivating_a_deactivated_account_after_12_months\"><\/span>Reactivating a deactivated account after 12 months<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is a way to reactivate a deactivated Twitter account after a certain amount of time. To do so, you first need to visit the Twitter website. After opening the website, choose the option titled Your account. A list of account options will appear. Select the option titled Deactivate. Then, confirm the password. After that, click the &#8216;Deactivate account&#8217; option. Your account will be deleted after the time period you choose.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, the process takes about 24 hours, but it may take longer if you are nearing the 30-day deadline. Twitter also maintains a list of people waiting for their accounts to be reactivated. If you haven&#8217;t logged in for more than 12 months, it&#8217;s a good idea to contact their support team to see if you can reactivate your account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_tweets_during_deactivation\"><\/span>Hide tweets during deactivation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are considering cancelling your Twitter account, you may be wondering how to hide tweets during deactivation. While you can deactivate your account for 30 days, it&#8217;s not permanent, and old tweets will remain visible to anyone who visits your profile page. Thankfully, you can always reactivate your account after the 30 days has expired. Unlike with deleted accounts, however, deactivated Twitter accounts are still in the database, and you can still access them at any time. Regardless of whether you choose to delete your Twitter account, you won&#8217;t be able to see the tweets you&#8217;ve sent in the past 30 days.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to permanently delete your Twitter account, you can go to Settings, Privacy, and Deactivate Account. If you want to hide all your tweets before your account is deleted, go to the &#8220;Hide tweets&#8221; tab. Click &#8220;Hide&#8221; in the box next to the tweets you want to hide. Once you&#8217;ve done that, click &#8220;Cancel&#8221; to confirm deactivation. Twitter will send you a message confirming the deactivation.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"392\" height=\"219\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8rJdoizJSX4\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Can I Cancel My Twitter Account?
