X The Everything App®, formerly Twitter, has been experiencing a massive user loss for the past few weeks, with everyone from celebrities to average people evacuating from the platform. If you wish to join them for any reason, we’re sharing the process for fully extricating yourself and your data from this specific social media network.
First, let’s explore why deleting X is so popular nowadays.
There are a few reasons that so many are leaving the platform, including:
Regardless of why you wish to divest yourself from X, it can be challenging to do so entirely… and that’s by design.
Plus, while the social media platform claims not to sell your data, it can still share and broker it with advertisers—one of those things that sounds the same but is different enough for them to still do it. That’s why we wanted to walk you through the process of leaving X in a way that genuinely removes your data.
Unfortunately, deleting the app from your mobile device doesn’t remove your account. X still has the data you’ve generated during your time as a user, so it is essential to both remove your account and prevent them from accessing more data from it.
Once you’ve done so, you have 30 days to change your mind and restore your account. Otherwise, wait these 30 days for your account to be deleted and your former username to be removed.
However, as we said, this is only some of what you should do. You also want to lock down this account as much as possible while waiting for it to be deleted, here’s how you do it:
After this, you are free to deactivate your account. Remember, if you log back in within the 30-day window, your account will not be deleted but will actually be reactivated.
To be safe, you should also remove your Twitter/X credentials from any password manager you have them saved in. This will help you avoid automatically logging in if you accidentally click on a link back to the social media platform.
