Firstly, you can delete your account. This will represent a closure and will also remove any branding you&#8217;ve done or online persona. However, it&#8217;s important to note that there are several ways you can reactivate your account. Here are some methods:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sign_in_to_Twitter\"><\/span>Sign in to Twitter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You might find it hard to sign out of Twitter after you&#8217;ve logged out. You may find yourself clicking on buttons and Twitter tabs on websites. If you miss chatting with your Twitter friends, you might still feel the urge to sign in. So, be sure to keep the email addresses of your former Twitter friends handy. These can be used in the future if you decide to return to the social network. However, logging out of Twitter may not delete data from your device.<\/p>\n<p>To deactivate your account on Twitter, you have to log in to the full website. This will not be possible if you&#8217;ve logged in through the app. To deactivate your account, select Settings and Privacy from the top navigation menu and scroll down until you see the option &#8216;Deactivate my account&#8217;. Once you&#8217;ve clicked this, you&#8217;ll be directed to a confirmation page where you can confirm your decision.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deactivate_your_account\"><\/span>Deactivate your account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you aren&#8217;t using your Twitter account anymore, you can deactivate it through the website. To do so, login to the Twitter website and choose the option titled &#8216;Your account&#8217;. Next, click &#8216;Deactivate my account.&#8217; Once you&#8217;ve done that, you&#8217;ll be asked to confirm your password. Click &#8216;Deactivate my account&#8217; to complete the process. The process can take up to 30 days to complete, so it&#8217;s important to follow all instructions carefully.<\/p>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve deactivated your account, you&#8217;ll no longer be able to access your account. Although it may still show up in search engines, it won&#8217;t appear when clicked on. Twitter does this to prevent you from gaining access to your account. If you decide to deactivate your account, you must remove all information before you can use it again. To reactivate your account, you must first sign in to your email address.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reactivate_your_account_after_30_days\"><\/span>Reactivate your account after 30 days<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After quitting Twitter, you may wonder how to reactivate your account. The good news is that you have 30 days to reactivate your account. If you opted out of the service, you can do so by logging into your account. If you don&#8217;t, Twitter will deactivate your account and put it on their list of deleted accounts. To reactivate your account, you must log into your account within 30 days or 12 months from the time you deactivated it. You will be prompted with a notice that will ask you to log in again. If you choose Yes, you will be redirected to your restored Home page. However, you should note that it may take a few hours for Twitter to restore your entire data.<\/p>\n<p>If you choose to reactivate your account after 30 days after you quit Twitter, you need to choose a new username. If you choose a username that is already taken, you will have to wait until someone else joins the site to claim it. Even if you have not tweeted for 30 days, your old username will still show up in search results. However, if you choose a new username, you will have a chance of using the same username.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_username_after_deactivation\"><\/span>Changing your username after deactivation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been deactivated from a website, you may want to change your username before you sign in again. The process is simple, but there&#8217;s a time limit. To change your username after deactivation, go to the website and click on the three-dot menu icon. From there, choose Settings. Next, click on Account. You&#8217;ll see a box where you can type in a new username.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve deactivated your Reddit account, you may not be able to use the same username again. Changing your username requires a new account. However, you can create multiple profiles with different names if you wish. Depending on your needs, you can switch accounts frequently. Changing your username after deactivation will also notify watchers that you&#8217;ve changed your username. Anyone with a Core Membership can change their username, but you cannot claim a deactivated account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cleaning_up_your_account_after_deactivation\"><\/span>Cleaning up your account after deactivation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you have recently deleted your Facebook account or are simply tired of all the notifications, you can clean up your account after deactivation. Facebook will no longer be able to see what you&#8217;ve been up to, including photos you may have uploaded or events you&#8217;ve attended. While deactivation will make you invisible to the site and its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, you will still want to take care of your account.<\/p>\n<p>You should be mindful of what content you&#8217;ve been sharing with the world online. While it&#8217;s tempting to follow every page and trending topic on social media, you shouldn&#8217;t do it unless you&#8217;re actively engaged in it. Consider unfollowing, muting, and unfriending people whose posts are not relevant to you. Some platforms also offer a means to download your posts, photos, and other data.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"301\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8rJdoizJSX4\" width=\"538\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do You Quit Twitter?
