The latest changes applied to Twitter are turning the service into an application for which you practically have to pay to use it as we have always used it up to now. This is completely legal, but if the new conditions of service do not convince you and you want to put an end to your journey through the bird’s social network, we will leave you with the necessary steps to disappear from the map forever.
What must be considered?
Before pressing the fateful delete account button, you should take into account many aspects before taking the step. And it is that there could be many conditions for your disappearance to become a tragedy.
- You will lose the user forever: The first thing to keep in mind is that your user account will no longer be in your possession, and if it was a short and original username, it is most likely that someone will take it as soon as it is available again.
- You will lose your tweets and uploaded photos: All your history of witty tweets, bad jokes, ironic quotes and comments giving the opinion that nobody asked for will be lost forever. You should consider backing up your glamorous history in case you don’t want to lose said pearls.
- You will lose your followers: All those followers that you have accumulated in all this time will stop following you. And if you create a new account with the same username you won’t get them back unless they manually follow you back.
- connected accounts: Keep in mind that you have been able to use your Twitter account to log in to other applications or web services, so you should check before where you have logged in with your Twitter account to avoid scares once you have deleted the account. To check where you have given permission to log in with your account, you just have to access Settings and Support> Settings and Privacy> Security and account access> Applications and sessions.
Do I lose the verified?
In the event that you want to use Twitter again and want to continue having the verified tick, you will not have to worry, since since Elon Musk implemented the new rules, verified account indicatives are only obtained through Twitter Blue, Twitter’s payment method. For that reason, if you create a new account again, you will only have to pay the fee again to receive your blue badge again.
Am I going to lose count forever?
It is possible that the feeling of regret runs through your veins at any time, and for that reason, Twitter has set up a period of regret that will allow you to recover your account in case you miss it.
The period of regret is 30 days, so you will have a month to cancel the action of deactivating the account before it is a mere memory. If you cancel the disappearance within that period, your account will remain active and will not have undergone any changes.
How to delete a Twitter account forever
If you have already made up your mind and do not want to look back, the necessary steps to delete your Twitter account are as follows:
- Enter your Twitter profile from the official website.
- Click on Settings and Support.
- Click on Settings and Privacy.
- Enter the Your Account section.
- Click on Deactivate Your Account.
As you can see, there are several messages that are reflected in this section, since the option is extremely critical. As soon as you click on deactivate, a new message will appear requesting your personal Twitter password, which you will confirm by clicking on the Deactivate button.
Your account will have been deactivated, and no one will be able to interact with you anymore. But remember, you have 30 days to repent and reactivate it without losing anything, as soon as those 30 days have passed, you can officially say that you have deleted the Twitter account forever.
