There are countless reasons why someone might want to say goodbye to Twitter. Perhaps an upcoming change in ownership will prompt you to reevaluate your relationship with the platform. Maybe the mild spring temperatures will encourage you to spend more time outdoors and less time outdoors Social media. Maybe someone who shares your name has offered to pay you a small fortune in exchange for your handle (although you can easily edit your handle without having to exit the app forever).
Whatever the case may be, the hardest part about not having Twitter in your life is actually deleting it. Fortunately, you don’t even have to hit the “delete” button yourself. As MarketWatch explains, you can’t completely delete a Twitter account: you first have to deactivate it. If you do not log in to your account at any time within 30 days Disruption Period, Twitter will then delete it permanently. (There’s also an option to deactivate your account for 12 months, instead of one month.)
Although deactivation does not prevent you from using the platform, it does get rid of many of the elements that might prompt you to open Twitter in the first place. Your name and profile will not appear anywhere on the Site or in the Application; And all your tweets, likes, and comments will do so Disappear. Your username will still appear in any Tweets where others have mentioned you, but it will not be associated with your profile. After 30 days of inactivity, Twitter will permanently delete your account and all associated data. You can Download your entire Twitter archive Before that happens, but you need to do this before deactivating.
If the deactivation-to-deletion path seems too frighteningly irreversible for your taste, there are still plenty of ways to control how you use Twitter. Tap your profile icon in the app, choose Settings & Privacy from the menu, and open Privacy & Security to explore the options. If you want to update your account so that only your followers can see your Tweets — and others should ask to follow you — select “Audiences & mentions” and then “Protect your Tweets.” You can also mute words, block accounts, turn off notifications, update who is allowed to send you direct messages, and more.
