If you deactivated your Twitter account deliberately or by mistake but wish to reactivate it again, here is how to do that and a few other things that you should know.

Twitter accounts can only be reactivated if they were deactivated no more than 30 days back. The username and email address assigned to your Twitter account is tied to it until 30 days after you deactivate the account.

While reactivating, if it says that your account reactivation is currently disabled, you can either wait for a few hours and try again or can contact a Twitter support agent here.
