The icons reply, retweet, like, and follow normally show up under tweets. The backward arched arrow is the reply icon, use the icon to reply to another Twitter user or tweet. The box made out of two arrows is the retweet button.

To send a tweet to someone, type the person’s username in the format “@username” (without quotes). Enter the username at the beginning of the tweet to send an @reply, or enter it within the tweet to send a mention.

Tap the Tweet icon ( on iOS or Android). Tap the photo icon to take a photo or to select one from your camera roll. Tap the sticker icon from the selected photo to launch a library of stickers to choose from. Tap the sticker(s) you want and then drag with your finger to where you place it where you want it.

The most recent message appears at the bottom. Click the checkmark (✓) beneath your sent message. It’ll be right below the message to the right of the time sent. If you see the word “Seen” below the checkmark after clicking, the recipient has seen the message.

Spotted by lifehacker, upon blocking a person your DM history with them will be immediately erased.

Blocking a person hides your personal chat threads from each other in DMs. Meaning, the thread will disappear, and you won’t be able to view the messages (until you unblock them).

What Happens When You Block Someone On Twitter? When you block someone on Twitter, you completely remove any links you have with that user. If you’re following each other, you’ll both be removed from each other’s followers list, and they (nor you) will be able to refollow afterwards unless the block is removed.

Missing Messages If you notice some of your direct messages are missing, but not all, contact the sender or recipient of the message. Anytime a direct message is deleted by one user, it disappears from both users’ message box.

Twitter will create an error message to let a user know when he has hit the messaging limit. When a full day (24 hours) has elapsed, the user will be able to send direct messages again. Limits on receiving messages only apply to the API used for a program.

When you delete a Direct Message or conversation (sent or received), it is deleted from your account only. Others in the conversation will still be able to see Direct Messages or conversations that you have deleted.

When You Deactivate Your Twitter Account When you deactivate your account, all your posts, tweets, likes and comments disappear from the site for up to 30 days.

Users cannot interact with you on Twitter, and you will not see notifications if they do tag your old username. While most of your account information should be removed within a few minutes, information can still be seen for up to a few days after deactivate your account.

After your 30-day deactivation window, your Twitter account is permanently deleted. When you don’t log into your account during the 30-day window, it lets us know you want to permanently delete your Twitter account.

Tip: The main difference between deactivating and deleting a user is that a deactivated user can be reactivated while deleting a user is permanent. Keep in mind that if a user is deleted from the account and then needs to be added back to the account, they will be added as a brand new user.

If you deactivate your account, we save the information in your account (ex: friends, photos, interests), just in case you want to come back to Facebook at some point. If you choose to reactivate your account, the information on your profile will be there when you come back.

After deleting your Facebook account, you’ll have a 30-day window to change your mind. Once those 30 days are up, all your information will be permanently deleted and inaccessible.

3 Answers. You actually deactivate it, and once you do that all your comments, likes, shares, post and everything associated with your profile disappears like it never existed. But your message conversation will still be visible on your friend’s inbox just there won’t be your profile picture and link to it.

If you had a Facebook account and deactivated it, using Messenger won’t reactivate your Facebook account, and your Facebook friends can still message you. To use Messenger after you deactivate your Facebook account: Sign in to Messenger with the same email and password that you used for your Facebook account.

If you deactivate your account your profile won’t be visible to other people on Facebook and people won’t be able to search for you. Some information, such as messages you sent to friends, may still be visible to others. Any comments that you’ve made on other person’s profile will remain.

First off, just go to your Facebook search bar and search for the suspected blocker. If you can’t find them, you’ve either been blocked or they’ve deleted their account. Whens someone blocks you on Facebook, you won’t be able to view their profile, send a friend request, a message or a comment.

You will be able to see hashtags which use exact words of the username you search. However, if they do link the original user, when you tap on it you will see a page saying ‘User not found’. If this is the case, then the user has either blocked you, deleted their profile or has deactivated it.

If you’ve been blocked, their profile image won’t load, replaced by a standard gray outline. You won’t be able to click on their name to look at their profile either. You can try to send them a message too.

In case you are wondering, whether they will be deleted or not, the answer is no. Nothing happens to your old messages or photos on Messenger. You can access them by reinstalling the Messenger app or checking them on the desktop.

To do so, message the person from your account and at the same time, ask someone else to message that person. Keep a check on the delivery icon for both accounts. If the other person’s delivery icon changes from Sent to Delivered and yours is still showing Sent, it means they have Ignored you.

1 Answer. There is no way to see if chats were deleted, unless someone saved the page before the fact.

From the More dropdown menu in your Messenger inbox, tap Archived. Here, you’ll see all the messages you’ve archived. Hopefully, you’ll find your “deleted” message here. (Alternatively, you can search the contact’s name in the search bar, and your full conversation history should pop up.)

If you have your messages archived in your Facebook Messenger app, then you get the chance to restore deleted Facebook messages easily. Once you find the conversation, simply select it and press Unarchive Message option to unarchive it.

Unfortunately, when you delete a message in the Facebook Messenger app, it’s permanently deleted, according to Facebook Messenger’s official policy. This is great for privacy but can become a problem if you delete something valuable by mistake.
