Merging Two Twitter Accounts: A Step-by-Step Guide

Direct Answer

To merge two Twitter accounts, you’ll need to download your data from one account, deactivate it, and then upload the data to the other account. Unfortunately, Twitter doesn’t provide a direct “merge” option, but you can use the following steps to achieve a similar result.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. **Download your data**: Go to the Twitter account you want to merge into the other one and download your data by clicking on “More” > “Settings and account” > “Your account” > “Download an archive of your data”.
2. **Deactivate the account**: Deactivate the Twitter account you want to merge by going to “Settings and account” > “Your account” > “Deactivate your account”.
3. **Log in to the other account**: Log in to the Twitter account you want to keep and go to “Settings and account” > “Your account” > “Upload media and data”.
4. **Upload your data**: Upload the data you downloaded in step 1 to the Twitter account you want to keep.
