When you delete the Twitter app from your device, it essentially means that you are removing the application from your phone or computer. This action does not delete your Twitter account itself, but it simply removes your access to it through the app. Your account will still exist on Twitter’s servers, and you can access it through other means if you wish.
However, if you decide to deactivate your Twitter account, it is a different story. Deactivating your account means that you are temporarily disabling it. During this period, your account is not accessible to others, and your profile and tweets are hidden from public view. Your followers will no longer see your tweets in their timelines, and your username will be freed up for others to use.
If you choose to reactivate your account within 30 days of deactivating it, you can simply log back in, and your account will be restored with all your followers, tweets, and settings intact. However, if you do not log in within this 30-day window, your account will be permanently deleted.
Once your account is permanently deleted, there is no way to recover it. Twitter states that they cannot restore deleted accounts for any reason. This means that if you change your mind after the 30-day period and want to use Twitter again, you will have to create a new account from scratch.
It’s important to note that even if you delete or deactivate your Twitter account, your information might still be visible on search engines like Google and Bing. This is because search engines index web pages, and Twitter profiles and tweets are often indexed and cached by these search engines. The process of removing this information from search engine results can take some time, and it is ultimately up to the search engines to update their indexes.
Deleting the Twitter app from your device only removes your access to the app, but not your account. Deactivating your account temporarily hides your profile and tweets, but you can still reactivate it within 30 days. If you don’t reactivate within this period, your account will be permanently deleted, and all your tweets will be gone. However, your information might still appear on search engines, even after deleting your account.
