Twitter Is Advising Users to Log in at Least Once a Month to Avoid Purging Over Inactivity

If you’re not a regular user on Twitter, you might want to make sure you are at least signing in on the Bird App at least once a month or else you might lose your account. 

On the Twitter Help Center, the company has adjusted its inactive account policy, encouraging people to log into their accounts “at least every 30 days.” They note that users with “prolonged inactivity” are at risk of having their accounts removed permanently from the site. 

“We encourage people to actively log in and use Twitter when they register an account,” Twitter’s Inactive account policy reads. “To keep your account active, be sure to log in at least every 30 days.” 

Twitter cracking down on user inactivity was likely to happen after CEO Elon Musk announced earlier this week that the company was planning to purge inactive accounts. Although, Musk noted in his tweet that it would target accounts with “no activity at all for several years.”

Twitter’s inactive account policy is one of many changes that Musk introduced after he acquired the social media app last year. Last month, the company removed legacy verified checkmarks, with the only way to achieve verification on the platform being to subscribe to Twitter Blue. Musk admitted a day later that he was personally paying Twitter Blue for some celebrities such as Lebron James and Stephen King — both of which previously said they refused to shell out $8 a month to keep their blue checkmark.
