Tired of Twitter? Here’s how you can deactivate your account

Using Twitter has its benefits. You not only get a minute-by-minute update of all that is going on around the world but you also get your daily dose of meme updates on the platform. In addition to that, you get to debate about the issues that matter to you and topics that you want to talk about. But there is a downside to using Twitter as well. The platform can easily overwhelm anyone with its toxic banter. So, it is natural for you to want a break from Twitter.

One of the many ways you can take a break from the platform by deactivating your account. Deactivating your Twitter will ensure that your username or your Twitter “handle”) and public profile are not viewable on twitter.com, Twitter for iOS or Twitter for Android. Once you have deactivated your account, you have a 30-day window to sign in your account and start using the platform. Once this window passes, your Twitter account will be permanently deleted and your username will be allotted to someone else.
