Are you ready to part ways with Twitter? Read along for how to delete your Twitter account from iPhone, iPad, and the web.
Before you delete your Twitter account, you may want to download a copy of your information first. Learn how to do that here.
Twitter notes that you can restore an account for up to 30 days after it has been accidentally or wrongfully deactivated (deleted). If you think you may want to use your existing username or email with Twitter at some point in the future, you should change them before deleting your account.
