Why get rid of Tumblr?

Tumblr can be great fun, but its popularity has decreased sharply in recent years. Here's a few reasons why people choose to leave the platform:

Some users don't trust Tumblr to protect their data. In 2016, it was discovered hackers stole the emails and passwords of more than 65 million users.
New social media sites are more entertaining.
There have been many reports of inappropriate content on the platform.
Constant scrolling affects your well-being and some users decide to quit using social media entirely. The "How to erase yourself from the internet" query is growing in popularity on search engines.
If you care about your privacy, you might be looking for more advanced communication tools that can encrypt your online data.

What happens when you delete a Tumblr account?

Deleting your Tumblr account will remove any primary and secondary blogs you have created. While some social media sites allow you to recover your account after deleting, it's not the case with Tumblr.

After you delete your account, you won't be able to restore it. So think carefully before proceeding and make sure that you understand the consequences.

However, if you only delete a secondary blog, it doesn't affect your account or primary blog.

How do I know if my Tumblr is deleted?

If you close your Tumblr account, you won't be able to access your blog using its URL. This means that it's gone forever. When you visit Tumblr and type your credentials, you won't be able to login.

Does Tumblr delete inactive blogs? If you haven't logged into your account for more than a year, the service will send you a reminder that your username is going to expire. After a certain period, your username will be released for other people to use. However, this doesn't mean that your account will be deleted.

Does deleting your Tumblr account delete messages?

When you delete your Tumblr account, your blogs, messages, and all activities are removed permanently. You won't be able to login into your account, find your blog using your URL, or view your messages.
