What is Twitter’s policy on inactive accounts? We urge people to actively sign up for and use Twitter when they create an account. To keep your account active, log in at least every six months. Because of lengthy inactivity, accounts may be permanently canceled.
Tap the menu button in the upper-right corner, then Settings and privacy. Select Your account, then Deactivate your account. Read the deactivation information carefully before tapping Deactivate. When prompted, input your password and tap Deactivate. Tap Yes, deactivate when you’re done.
A dormant or temporarily disabled Twitter account won’t survive indefinitely. To reduce system load and return Twitter usernames to the pool for others to use, the social networking service routinely deletes inactive accounts.
Your Twitter account will not last indefinitely if you don’t use it. To decrease system strain and return Twitter usernames to the pool for other people and companies to use, Twitter removes inactive accounts on a regular basis.
As part of our new verification policy, we’ll remove verification badges from inactive and incomplete accounts, Twitter Safety announced in a tweet. “We’ve contacted individuals who need to act to maintain their verified status continued.
