Remove the Twitter app from your phone, tablet, or another device if you have it. You cannot cancel your account from the app, but accidentally tapping on it will reverse the deactivation procedure within the first 30 days after you’ve chosen to terminate it.
To deactivate your account, go to Settings and privacy then select Your account. Tap Deactivate your account. Read the information about canceling your account and then tap Deactivate. When prompted, type in your password and press OK to deactivate it. Confirm that you want to finish by tapping Yes, deactivate.
To delete your Twitter account, you must first turn it off. To do so, go to the More button on the left side of the screen and then Settings and Privacy. You can deactivate your account under “Your Account” by selecting Deactivate My Account. After 30 days or one year, you may choose to reactivate it.
Tap the profile icon at the top of the screen or the hamburger menu (whichever your version of the app shows) to begin. Go to Settings and Privacy, then Account. Choose Deactivate Account using this option.
You may deactivate your account on Twitter without deleting it. Deactivating your Twitter account is useful when you are unable to focus on your business or are going away for a while.
