First, we will show you how to deactivate
and delete your Twitter account on mobile.
For this tutorial,
we will be using the Twitter iPhone app,
but it is a similar process on Android.
First, open the Twitter account on your device.
Slide to the right or tap the three lines
in the upper left corner of the screen
to access the main menu.
Tap "Settings and privacy."
In the settings and privacy menu,
tap "Account" under your Twitter handle.
In the account menu, scroll to the bottom of the page
and tap "Deactivate your account."
Once you reach the deactivate your account menu,
Twitter makes you aware that you have 30 days
to reactivate your account if needed.
At the very bottom of this page,
you will see "Deactivate" in red letters.
Tap it if you wish to continue.
Next you will be prompted
to enter your Twitter password.
Do so, then tap "Deactivate" in the bottom right corner.
A pop-up should prompt you
to finish deactivating your account.
If you wish to proceed, tap, "Yes, deactivate."
This will then take you to the Twitter login page
after you successfully deactivate your account.
If you're deactivating your account on a browser,
on your homepage, select "More"
on the left side of the screen.
In this menu, select "Settings and privacy."
In the account menu,
select "Deactivate your account."
Once you reach the deactivate your account menu,
Twitter makes you aware that you have 30 days
to reactivate your account if needed.

then press and hold your finger down on the icon.
A menu will appear.
Tap the "Remove App" option in red.
A menu will open asking you to confirm
that you want to delete it.
Tap "Delete" to remove the app.
