This article will walk you through the process so that you can reactivate your account if you change your mind later. It will also cover Temporary and Permanent deactivation. Once you have decided that Twitter is not for you anymore, you should read the steps below carefully. Follow these steps to ensure that your account remains safe.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reactivation\"><\/span>Reactivation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can reactivate your Twitter account by logging in to the app from your linked email account. You&#8217;ll need to enter your email address, password, and account expiration date. Once you&#8217;ve entered these details, tap &#8220;Yes, Reactivate&#8221; to confirm the process. After you&#8217;ve confirmed your account&#8217;s reactivation, you can view your account&#8217;s missed tweets, direct messages, and overall activity.<\/p>\n<p>Deleted accounts can also be reactivated by following certain steps. First, sign in to Twitter on your mobile device by tapping the profile icon in the top-left corner. Next, tap the settings menu, which will appear on the side-menu. Next, select the option labeled &#8220;Your account&#8221; in the Settings and Privacy menu. Choose &#8220;Delete your account,&#8221; and enter a password. You will receive a confirmation email from Twitter, but you should not worry about losing your current account.<\/p>\n<p>If your Twitter account is deactivated for thirty consecutive days, you won&#8217;t be able to access it. If you&#8217;ve disabled your account, Twitter will not allow you to log in. However, you can reactivate your account intermittently during this period. In the meantime, if you find yourself using your account for a specific purpose, you can continue to use it until you&#8217;ve accomplished your goal.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Temporary\"><\/span>Temporary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to permanently delete your Twitter account, you will have to wait at least 30 days. After this time, you can reactivate it intermittently. If you haven&#8217;t updated your account in a while, consider creating a new one. The process is similar to that of making a new account, except that your old one isn&#8217;t permanently deleted. Nevertheless, temporary deactivation of Twitter on mobile does not prevent you from viewing your old tweets and profile.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve finished following someone, you can block them. While blocked people cannot view your tweets, you can still read them if you sign out of Twitter. Temporary deactivation of Twitter on mobile works in a similar way to deleting your account. Your tweets will disappear after a few days, as will any references to the account. In addition, you&#8217;ll no longer be able to use your account&#8217;s username or search for it. If you&#8217;ve accidentally deleted your Twitter account, you won&#8217;t be able to sign up again with the same email address or username.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve logged into your Twitter account, click the &#8216;deactivate my account&#8217; link to confirm the action. Once you&#8217;ve confirmed this, you&#8217;ll be redirected to the deactivation page. Just make sure to confirm your action &#8211; if you accidentally deleted your account, you&#8217;ll have 30 days to reverse the process and claim it back. So, what are your options?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Process\"><\/span>Process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to delete your Twitter account, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. Twitter gives users thirty days to remove their account. If you want to keep your Twitter account, you can just log in to it again. Once you&#8217;ve deactivated your account, you&#8217;ll have to wait another 30 days before it&#8217;s permanently deleted. If you reactivate it, however, you&#8217;ll lose all of your tweets and updates.<\/p>\n<p>The process for deactivating Twitter on mobile is similar for web users, although the exact steps differ between Twitter apps and mobile web. Regardless of which method you choose, it is important to secure your email account. If you don&#8217;t have a secure email account, Twitter&#8217;s support team will not be able to remove your account. As a precaution, make sure you don&#8217;t lose your password and make sure you&#8217;re using two-factor authentication to strengthen security.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve finished verifying the deactivation, you&#8217;ll be asked to enter your password. If you don&#8217;t do so, you&#8217;ll be asked to wait out the 30-day period chosen. This is a good time to consider reactivating your account if you think you&#8217;ll want to get your Twitter account back. You&#8217;ll need to wait 30 days, but you can reactivate it at any time.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8rJdoizJSX4\" width=\"440\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"246\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Deactivate Twitter on Mobile If you&#8217;ve forgotten how to deactivate Twitter on your mobile device, you&#8217;re not alone.
