Are you ready to take a break from or part ways with Twitter? Read along for how to deactivate or delete your Twitter account from iPhone, iPad, and the web.
Before you delete your Twitter account, you may want to download a copy of your information first. Learn how to do that here.
Twitter notes that you can restore an account up to 12 months after it has been deactivated (deleted). If you think you may want to use your existing username or email with Twitter at some point in the future, you should change them before deleting your account.
If you’re ready to delete your Twitter account (or deactivate it for 30 days to 12 months) follow along with the steps below.
