Are you tired of inadvertently being a part of the ongoing banter around the hostile Twitter takeover? While social media platforms may come with many benefits that include getting a minute-by-minute update on all that is going on over the world. Sometimes that is exactly what acts as a downside to using the social media platform. This can be quite overwhelming for those who do not wish to deal with toxic banter.
Here is how you can take a break from Twitter:
- To take a break from the platform, you can start by deactivating your account.
- Deactivating your Twitter will ensure that your username or your Twitter “handle”) and public profile are not viewable on twitter.com, Twitter for iOS or Twitter for Android.
- After you have deactivated your account, you have a 30-day window to sign in your account and start using the platform.
- Following this, your Twitter account will be permanently deleted and your username will be allotted to someone else.
