The first step is to deactivate the account. Twitter requires that you confirm this request, which can take a few days. Once you&#8217;ve confirmed the request, you can reactivate the account. To continue using Twitter, you can sign up for its new service. However, deactivating an account is not as easy as you might think.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deactivating_a_Twitter_account_starts_the_process_of_permanently_deleting_a_Twitter_account\"><\/span>Deactivating a Twitter account starts the process of permanently deleting a Twitter account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you wish to deactivate your Twitter account, you must first login to the full site in order to do this. This is not possible if you are using the mobile app. Then, go to the settings and privacy tab, and click the &#8216;Deactivate my account&#8217; link. Next, you must confirm the process by entering your password. Once you have confirmed the process, you can deactivate your account.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Twitter offers a 30-day grace period in which you can reactivate your account. Despite its lack of consistency in enforcing its policies, you will have a chance to regain access to your account before it is permanently deleted. After this period, you can decide to permanently delete your Twitter account. The process may take some time, but it is worth the effort.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_a_smooth_process\"><\/span>It&#8217;s a smooth process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cancelling a Twitter account is not as difficult as it might sound. The social networking website has several methods to do so. Using the Twitter help center, you can find tips on how to deactivate or delete your account. Twitter suggests exporting your data before you choose to delete it. They also have a section that covers how long your account data will remain in search engine results and on third-party apps.<\/p>\n<p>First, log in to Twitter. Don&#8217;t use the Twitter app to do this. The deactivation link is not included in the app. Using the web version, go to the settings section and click on Privacy. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the &#8216;Deactivate my account&#8217; option. After you click this button, you&#8217;ll be redirected to a confirmation page. Tap on the &#8220;Deactivate my account&#8221; button to confirm.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_not_as_easy_for_individuals\"><\/span>It&#8217;s not as easy for individuals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many reasons to cancel your Twitter account, and it&#8217;s not as simple as simply choosing to log out. However, if you don&#8217;t like what Twitter has to offer, you can always choose to deactivate your account. You can do this by visiting the settings page in the Twitter app. After you click &#8220;deactivate account,&#8221; you&#8217;ll be prompted to enter your password. Once you confirm this action, you can sign into your account with your username and password. You can tweet again within thirty days if you choose to do so. You can also opt out of Twitter&#8217;s Tips &amp; Tricks newsletter. This newsletter contains advice from experts, but it may contain affiliate links or advertising. By subscribing to this newsletter, you agree to Twitter&#8217;s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. If you no longer wish to receive these newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Before you decide to deactivate your account, make sure that you read Twitter&#8217;s disclaimer. This is to prevent anyone from reading your old tweets. For example, if you left a tweet stating that you believe capital should be divided equally, the HR in your new workplace might not be very accepting of your view on this matter. You can still delete your account if you don&#8217;t like the views on your old tweets. But you should avoid doing this in haste.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"494\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8rJdoizJSX4\" height=\"276\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Cancel a Twitter Account?
