To delete your Twitter (now X) account, you'll need to deactivate it first. Here's how:
Steps to Deactivate Your Twitter Account:
-
Navigate to Settings:
- Tap your profile photo.
- Select "Settings and support," then "Settings and privacy."
-
Access Account Deactivation:
- Choose "Your account."
- Select "Deactivate your account."
-
Confirm Deactivation:
- Tap "Deactivate."
-
Enter Password and Finalize:
- Enter your password to confirm.
- Tap "Deactivate" to begin the 30-day deactivation period.
Important Considerations:
- 30-Day Deactivation Period: During this period, your account is hidden from other users. If you log in during this time, your account will be reactivated, and the deletion process will be cancelled.
- Permanent Deletion: After the 30-day deactivation period, your account will be permanently deleted. This process can take some time, so your data might not be removed immediately.
- Username Availability: Twitter may not immediately release your username for others to use, even after permanent deletion.
