There is no doubt that X is a great place to get news updates, meme content, or even talk with your community online. But, sometimes, it becomes toxic and you might find it lacking in features compared to other social media. Here is, how you can deactivate your X profile.
DEACTIVATE YOUR X PROFILE FROM A BROWSER
- Open x.com on your web browser

- Go to the Your Account section. X might ask you to enter your profile password to open detailed settings
- At the bottom, you will be able to see Deactivate your account option in the menu
- Click on Deactivate your account option and you will be able to see a screen where your profile details will be visible. X will ask you one more time if you are willing to reactive your X account or not
That’s it, just a few steps, and your X account will get deactivated.
