Unsubscribe from Twitter – Here’s how

Log out and disable on Twitter

With the Twitter internet service, you can either temporarily log out or permanently deactivate your account.

• When you log out, you only end the current session, so you have to log in again to be able to use the functions of your Twitter account again.
• When you deactivate your Twitter account, it will be permanently deleted after a waiting period of 30 days, so that you can no longer log in with your access data, but may have to create a new account.
• During these 30 days, all of your data will be stored by Twitter so that you can undo the deactivation of your account within this period.
• All you need to do is log in to Twitter again with your access data, after which you can use your account as before.
