- Evan Blass, the renowned leaker known as @evleaks who shares information on unannounced devices, announced his departure from “X” on Sunday, May 3, 2026, stating, “This will probably be my last post here.”
- It appears he has made the decision to delete his “X” account.
- He intends to focus his future activities on “Instagram.”
Evan Blass, better known as @evleaks—a famous leaker of unannounced devices who has been active primarily on “Twitter (now X)” since 2012—announced the end of his activities on the platform on Sunday, May 3, 2026, with the message: “This will probably be my last post here.”
This is the second time Evan Blass has announced his retirement from the platform, the first being back in 2014. Initially, that departure was to focus on treating his chronic condition (multiple sclerosis), though he returned shortly after and has remained active until now. This time, however, it appears he has made the decision to delete his “X” account entirely.
Evan Blass began his career as a leaker in 2009 and has been active mainly on “Twitter (now X)” since 2012. While he has become a household name among those who run mobile gadget news sites, his work on “X” has been almost entirely uncompensated. Now, as he approaches 50 in 2026, he finds himself in financial distress, struggling to afford the medication for his condition and even daily transportation costs.
As a result, Blass has decided to step away from “X” to prioritize rebuilding his life and securing a stable income over his fame. He has, however, made it clear that he plans to focus his future efforts on “Instagram.”

This will probably be my last post here.
Sometimes you need to make tough decisions in order to improve your situation, and I feel like shutting down this account will help me move past what has been an at times exciting ride but more recently proven to be an unproductive distraction.
When I take stock of my life at the moment — how I’m spending my time and how it contributes to my well-being and overall happiness — it’s very clear that, at almost 50 years old, leaking phones and posting wallpapers are completely quixotic pursuits.
If I can’t afford an important prescription, or even the transportation to pick up those meds, WTF am I doing spending hours on upscaling thousands of wallpapers? I need to reprioritize, and abandoning the compulsion to curate whatever reputation I’ve made for myself, is the first step.
This account has been active since 2012, and I’ve been leaking phones since 2009. That’s a long time for someone with a chronic condition to eschew steady income, and now I need to try to start picking up the pieces.
However, just because this feed will disappear doesn’t mean that I will. Whatever social media itches I have will get scratched on IG instead ([@]EvanBlass – which also happens to be my PayPal and Venmo, in case anyone want to make final donations.)
Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed to this pursuit over the years – with your opinions, your advice, your humor, and your insights. It’s been an honor leaking for you.
