When you deactivate your Twitter account, people will not be able to access your profile, tweets, or media. Your username and public profile will not be viewable on Twitter.com or in the app. Should someone try to visit your profile, they will encounter a message stating that the account doesn't exist or is no longer available. However, deactivation is temporary for the first 30 days, and your account will be permanently deleted if you don't reactivate it within that window.
