How To Deactivate Twitter Account Temporarily? (Reactivate Twitter Account !! )

There is no specific temporarily disable option present for the Twitter app. Once you have decided to deactivate it and followed the above steps, then you need to wait for 30 days. So for 30 days (grace period), Twitter will retain all your data as it is in its platform (database servers).

Once that’s over, Twitter starts erasing your data from its systems. So if you haven’t log in to your account once in that 30 days grace period, your Twitter account will be gone forever.  

So in order to reactivate your deactivated Twitter account , you just need to log in once , that’s it . If you log into your account before the 30 day grace period is over, you’ll automatically reactivate your account.

If you decide to go with this temporary measure, your profile, tweets, replies, and favorites, everything, will be hidden but if you log back on, your activity will be restored for sure.

Also, keep in mind that there are chances that if you decide to one day again re-register your Twitter account, you may not be able to have the same username as another account could have taken it , so be ready to wave a nice goodbye to your old Twitter account instead .
