Deactivating X Account Apple Hidden Email Used

Someone else posted this issue below in Apr 2024, but I'm not able to reply, so re-posting here. I was excited to find this as I've been attempting to de-activate my X acct having signed up with Apple ID (hidden email) and now I can't deactivate it. The steps below list an option to, "Click the link to send the code to hidden email". I don't have this option (maybe it changed?). Under current password, your only option is "forgot password", which takes you to, "find you X acct" and after searching my username, the only options are to send an email to the apple email for which I don't have a pw or "next". Clicking next takes you to a "check your email" screen for a code to verify your acct. This has been an endless search for a month. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks

Here are the steps.

Open the Twitter app on your iPhone.

Tap your profile in the top left-hand corner.

At the bottom of the screen, tap settings and privacy.

Next, click your account….

Click the option to change your password.

It's going to ask you to enter your current password, which you don't know, as Apple creates a generic email and password that forwards to your actual email. To circumvent this, tap the link below the current password text box to be taken to a screen to reset your password. Do not enter your email. Instead, enter the username associated with your account.

For example,@user. Do not leave out the @ sign. Click the link that says send a code to the hidden email.

An email will then be sent to your iCloud email from X. Once you enter the confirmation code, you'll then be able to reset your password. After resetting the password you will be logged out of Twitter. Log back into Twitter on your iPhone by entering your username, not email, again don't forget the app sign, and then your new password.

Now it's time to do the thing that we've been wanting to do for an incredibly long time. Click your account in the top left-hand corner. Then click settings and privacy. Then, click your account. Then click the deactivate account button followed by deactivate account again. Enter your new password in the text box and then click deactivate, confirm, and then we're all good to go. I'm not quite sure why Apple and Twitter made this so hard. It actually took me two hours to figure this out. I hope this helps anyone who has been having issues.
