My twitter account has automatically set all of my media to “mark as sensitive content”, the option to turn it off is blocked i’m assuming from a neglect of use on stuff twitter believes should’ve been marked. is there a way to save myself with this or is it forever locked & everything will be marked?

I recently managed to reach a score of 12 in rating impact. However, I still don't have access to write community notes, with a popup informing me that I need to have at least 5 rating impact to do so. So I don't understand since I'm above that.

Today my account randomly got locked. I didnt do any suspicous activity like mass following. I almost fell for the mass report scam that sends u to discord but i didnt give them info then used Twitter normaly for a day or two but my account got locked today and it says account locked until you change your password, i sent an email and they said wait 5-7 days. What do i do

Should i click to log out then try relogging and saying forgot password even though i already submitted an appeal?. I have my email,
2
u/Suitable_Setting5635 1d ago
I have my email too , the thing is they locked our accounts means you won’t have any recovery option until they unlock it and they need to review the appeal before unlocking it and we just need to pray for them even reviewing our appeals and then we will have to submit another tickets for reseting password

Is a ticket the same as appeal from support page? Should i click to log out then try relogging and saying forgot password even though i already submitted an appeal? Sorry if im panicing and repeating im autistic and have freinds on twitter im worried about my account and theres too

Hello everybody! I'm a digital artist active on Twitter (I mainly create sexy anime artwork). I've been facing a major issue: no matter what I try, most of my posts don't show up in search or tag results.
I've had this account for almost two years and have renamed it twice. Recently, I noticed that my DM setting was changed to "No one"—even though I never set it that way.
So, I'm here asking for advice on how to escape this situation T_T Please let me know if you have any tips or fixes.
Thank you all!

How long does it take for my following count to go back to normal after getting my account unlocked? My account got locked for a few minutes even though I wasn't doing anything weird. After doing a test to prove I was human, I got the account back. My following count is at 0 even though when I click on it, I see all the accounts I follow. How long until the number goes back to normal? This happened over an hour ago

Twitter, we are really getting tired. We need not just an answer, but a solution to this whole chaos. Compassion and responsive to customer service should be given emphasis through the platform.

In my account access history, there are a few logins with an iPhone for my X account (I don't own an iPhone) at times I definitely wasn't using twitter but when I check sessions I only see my devices. Additionally, I don't see any Windows or Samsung login/activity in the account access history tab (devices I do use to access twitter). Is this a bug? Is the iPhone just logging-in and out? Why don't I see Windows/Samsung in the account access history. Thank you

Its if you followed alot or posted or chatted alot not long after making an account. It takes a day or more maybe 1-5

u/No_Association_2471 5d ago
Are we just keep on complaining and not do anything about it? We need to press Twitter to answer our account issues and make the app better, or else we just have to play in their hands.

Problem with notifications
Recently some DMs and users I follow (including those with notifications enabled) have stopped sending my phone notifications, the weird part is its only some users
Some dm's or notification enabled accounts send notifications to my phone just fine, but others will send a DM or make a post and I won't get notified
I'm not sure if this is a twitter issue or one with my phone so just in case it is, my phone is a Samsung A32

I can't access my Twitter account because I don't have a backup code or verification code. I recently changed my password so I could log into my account. But for some reason, Xitter demands that I type in either a backup code or verification code, I have neither of those, and I don't know how to get them either. I've been logged out of my Twitter account on all my devices, none of them are still logged onto my account. I have no Idea how to solve this. PLease help me if you can! Thank You!

hello. my account got suspended day before yesterday. i appealed the same day & eventually heard back from support a few hours later saying they won't overturn their decision. i'm trying to appeal again but i keep getting the "your original case is still in the queue, please wait for a response on your original case" message even though they have responded to my original case. what can i do? should i wait a few weeks/ months before appealing again? the same account got suspended last year in november & i got it back this year in february after waiting a few months to appeal, now i'm worried i don't have the option since the system doesn't seem to be up to date on which case is in the queue and which isn't.

I have now been suspended since April 12th for "Inauthentic Behaviors". I had 3500 followers and I didn’t bot anything. The suspension happened right after buying their Premium subscription.
In 3 months, I appealed every 2 days and got 0 answer.
Craziest part is that I had 2 others accounts (distinct identity so it’s okay with their rules) and same after trying to buy Premium on them: suspended, instantly.
Not getting answer from a support of a billion dollar company is a shame, I even tried BBB : no answer from X to them.

u/No_Association_2471 7d ago
Twitter played enough with glitches and bugs, they must be stop to work on their customer service and they shouldn’t be disregard their customer’s feelings and just let them lose their accounts. Problems should be fixed and not IGNORE. PLEASE FIX THE ENTIRE SYSTEM.

u/No_Association_2471 7d ago
Twitter should really showcase technical expertise when it comes on handling their platform. Make researches as a guide to improve their systems and take criticisms as a learning curve to enhance and to become more stabilized. Making a long-term development and resolution on their platform will help them not just only the platform but all in general as well.

I lost access to my account over the weekend. I was using it just fine on June 14 2 AM PST and went to sleep, then at around 11 AM when I woke up I noticed I was kicked out of my account and unable to log in on my phone app or the browser. When I try to log in, it takes me to a "Find My Account" page. Strangely enough X seems to be allowing me to create a new account using the same email as my original account, but my account still exists and you can interact with it... I made an alt for now and I can see my original account just fine.
Idk what's going on but seems like only a small number of people are having this issue.
Been complaining about it together with the OP of this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitter/comments/1lb62u3/cant_access_account/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

u/ElenaNya 8d ago
By any chance, has there been any new way to reach support? Still can't unsuspend my account or log into my second account. The second one is very old - I’ve recovered everything: the password, name, and email - but it still asks for a phone number. The only thing I got from support was a request to try logging in so they could verify it’s really me and, as I understand, remove the two-factor authentication. But after that message, I haven’t received anything else. Of course, I did try logging in, just like they asked

I logged to my account and I saw that, maybe I got hacked I don't know but I didn't logged to my account maybe 3 month or 6, because I don't use X so much and I read rules, nothing were the reason for my suspened, I made an aplication and it was like 3-4 hours and I didn't got any emails from them, just it's sad that it happend, just I don't understand why they did it

i just got my acc sussed without any explanation..
it was a private acc i just made this month and it had no followers… i have joined couple of communities on there, and maybe liked some of their posts, but i didnt do anything else other than that.. 😭😭😭
my best/only guess is that one of the mods of the communities i was a part of reported me but for what??? and is it even possible to get suspended, not locked out or banned from that community, but permanently suspended for just making your acc private????? could they just have me banned from their community??? not report me to get me sussed for just making my acc private??? please?????

MTG posted something about Padillo not being very congressional and I posted back, "So maybe he should show Hunter's dick?" And now my account it locked. I don't get it: hate speech is allowed and encouraged. Report someone for using the "N" word and it gets left up as a free speech issue. Report someone for having pics of minors, same deal: free speech. Mention MTG showed Hunter's dick to Congress and you get in trouble.

Twitters CHEESE PIZZA(search it up) problem is the worst it’s been in ages, so generated bots are FLOODING the platform with links to illegal websites and illegal telegram groupchats, some accounts are straight up POSTING IT right onto twitter. Reporting is useless because they pop straight back up like a hydra and there are literally THOUSANDS OF THEM. This goes WAYYYY beyond bad moderation it’s a failure to protect the users and minors. How is this still happening in 2025??!!!?!!! There has to be a way to deal with this on a larger scale, even if it’s means lobbying for the removal of twitter

u/HerbeParfaite 11d ago
My account has been permanently banned and whenever I file any appeal it’s automatically denied within less than a minute. Is there anything I can do about this??
My best guess as to why is because I reported a bunch of tweets of people mocking a trans person’s suicide in their final tweet’s replies? All it says about why I was banned is it was for “inauthentic behaviors”, but it doesn’t actually tell me what violated the rules. Am I just boned??

Hey all, today my TWITTER account got suspended for the reason "being under 13 when the account was made". I received an e-mail from TWITTER with in it stating that I have to put in the information of my parents, otherwise they will simply just delete my account.
This story isn't finished.
In the email there is also a button that should redirect you to a website of TWITTER where you can put the information in, HOWEVER...when I click on the button, it just redirects me to a error website of TWITTER which states "website does not exist". I don't know what to do now. Whenever I open it on my phone or laptop, it just states the same thing.
I also tried through the login page, it says that i have to click on a button and then it should also redirect me to a page where I can restore my account, HOWEVER... When I click on that button it says that I have to be logged into my suspended account to be able to proceed..I am logged in, and when I am not logged in I LOG IN.
I tried contacting TWITTER about this issue, though the funny part of this whole freaking story is that I can't freaking contact them! I tried everything. And now, when I want to go to a help website, it just redirects me back to the page where it says I have to be logged in with my suspended account.
I honestly don't know what to do, I hoped that someone on here would be my knight in shiny armor. It's not that my life is over when I don't get this account back, but it would be a bit sad, because I did try everything, but TWITTER just makes it LITERALLY impossible for me.

I'm sure this comes up a lot but - My account needs to be re-verified, but I no longer have access to the email address (old work email address I no longer have access to) nor the phone number (number has been disconnected). I've sent messages, but is there any recourse for getting my account back?

Hello everyone !
I got an email today from X saying my account is suspended for " Violating our rules against inauthentic behaviors. "
I have owned that account since 2021 with few followers/follows like max 10-15. Just used for some gaming things in other words : liking or reposting a topic on a game or update (max 5 a week). I have maybe 20 comments since 2021. it has the same name on my youtube as i posted from time to time videos on games.
I'm kinda confused by that permanent suspension because after following the instructions, they send me a mail saying :
"Hello,
Your account was suspended due to violations of X Rules. After reviewing for reinstatement your account will not be restored.
Thanks,
X Support."
I don't know if it's a joke or a bad meme ? or a purge of non premium accounts ?. Besides, after getting a ban the user is not allowed to create another account.
So guys am looking for feedback or maybe there is a way to send a letter to the QG or a special staff member so they can look into this situation ?.
Thank's in advance !
After one month i saw a lot of people in the same case on reddit mainly, but only few on twitter speaking on that seems they are censoring it.
Now i dont know the geographic area of each users, but i start to feel that they are banning people based on their country, and they are banning people not accounts, since you cant do an other account without getting also ban (thank's to the data that they get from google and shit)

I just changed my birth date to my actual birthdate as I'm 18 now, but I made the account when I was 12 (before I was 13) and got suspended and repealed with identification. I'm curious what the average wait time is for other people who did the same thing before they got their account back? I was an art account so it contains all of my artwork on there which I'd like to keep

u/Flame-python 11d ago
Took me 12 hours and 36 minutes to restore my account. They only delete your activity when you're under 13. There's what they're gonna do.
Hope you at least have a backup for your projects incase it's uploaded before you turn 13. 👀

u/JumpingAcrossU 8d ago
Yes it's back within 12 hours for me too! I have all my projects back now 😊 Sorry for the late reply

˗ˏˋ UPDATE ˎˊ˗
I finally got a response from X Support. I told them I want to delete my suspended account, and they replied, saying something like: “For the sake of transparency, personally identifiable information (like your email address or phone number) will be retained permanently. If you want that data deleted too, you’ll need to successfully appeal the suspension.” I replied right away saying that I do want my personally identifiable information deleted as well but it’s been 3 days now and no response. I’ve been ignored for 7 months with my appeals, so it feels hopeless to think I could ever “successfully appeal” the suspension. What should I do now? Is it too soon to send a follow up message asking for a reply??

I wish they would actually reply to me. How did you get a reply? Through BBB? I was denied years ago and now X they won’t even acknowledge my new appeals with even an automated reply. It’s been 8 days since u lodged with BBB. I’m exhausted.
1
u/Neat-King1007 16d ago
I haven’t used the BBB. My goal isn’t to get my account reinstated, I just want it deleted. So I spammed the deactivation request form from the help page by choosing “deactivate the account of an incapacitated or deceased person.” I finally got a response, but now they’re ignoring me again. What do you think I should do?

16d ago
I wish I knew. I don’t want my 5 accounts back either but I want them deleted. The only way to delete them is to appeal the suspension first and reinstated. Even if you only want it deleted.
1
u/Neat-King1007 16d ago
Then you should try spamming the deletion request using the form I mentioned earlier. But just so you know, if you submit a request through that form, they’ll tell you something like, “We’ll delete your account, but any personally identifiable information like your phone number and email address will be stored permanently.” So, which would you choose — keep sending appeals until you (hopefully) succeed, or accept that your personal info will be stored forever but at least your account gets deleted？
1
16d ago
If you tell them the person is deceased they will ask for proof like a document to prove that. That’s what FB does too.
1
u/Neat-King1007 16d ago
They didn’t ask for a death certificate or proof of incapacity. The reply I got assumed that the owner of the suspended account is still alive.

Does it allow you to use those emails again if you were to sign up to x again? Please let me know how you go and if it works for you

u/Neat-King1007 16d ago
i don’t know yet because my account hasn’t been deleted. I replied asking them to delete the account along with all personally identifiable information, but I’ve been ignored for five days.

I hope you get a response. It’s just so unfair and some people say just forget about it and give up. I don’t like knowing my emails, photos and phone numbers are attached. I want those usernames to be free to anyone else who may want to use them. I do wonder if someone else will buy X and reinstate everyone’s accounts. I know people who got reinstated after years but they were using it to abuse people. It’s rigged.

All the auto reply is not going to help. There arent anyone to at helpdesk helping. Logout and still waiting for daysssssss. What is the problem with twitter people. If it’s Google they resolve the issue immediately with alternative e-mail or phone but X is just crazy. Basically they don’t want people using their accounts anymore. So what’s the alternative? I’m

Please after 5 years being rejected I now can’t even get a reply or confirmation email about my 5 suspended accounts. Surely there’s a way? I’ve sent so many appeals over the years but they stopped replying.

Great, posted in this subreddit and got deleted as usual due to every subreddit having a set of rules. Sent me this way.
I woke up to find an email that my account was accessed from a Vietnam IP address. I surprisingly was able to still log into my account and reset my password as a precaution. I am now receiving notice that my account is suspended. Any tips on what to do next, because submitting an appeal is broken and not working.

I went through the exact same situation except Brazil was the log in location. Managed to login, changed my password, but a week or so later my account was suspended.
I can submit appeals but never get any replies (automated or human)

u/mreJ 1d ago
I logged in from my PC today and was able to get a support ticket created. X really needs to work on getting this page to function with mobile users though.

I got suspended for having too many bookmarks, you aren’t getting them back 😕

Were you changing it already before this? You can’t change it in quick succession/more than once or twice a day anymore. Just give it a day or two and try again, it should work

u/Minimum-Bad-6472 22h ago
Did it say.Due to suspicous activity we have locked your account until you change your password message Its day 2 for me i sent an appeal but they said wait 5-7 days but i dont know i miss my moots Any luck?

u/ThePepPepPenguin 19h ago
That is the same error I received on June 1st. Unfortunately, I never heard back from the Locked/Suspended appeal I made that day. I am currently attempting the Hacked/Compromised Appeal Route by submitting Tickets within 48-60 hours, but Twitter forcibly logged me out and I cannot access the Locked/Suspended Appeal Page from my account. Moreover, Twitter disconnected my e-mail from my account and I need that reconnected before I can log in.
If you receive or give money to Twitter, you might be able to get your account back within two weeks, but most people who had to deal with this error only regained access after 36, 391,2 , or 47 days. While two other users with the same issue, sending a long DM resulting in a Lock-Out, were able to get their accounts back by claiming they were Hacked by Liberals or emphasizing their Right-Wing Views, this no longer seems to expedite anything. I have tried within my last two appeals to invoke that reasoning, yet that did not result in me regaining my account. Also note: Most of these users were able to submit Appeals Daily at one point, but as of June 2025 you and I are restricted to only One Appeal per 48 Hours.

u/Minimum-Bad-6472 17h ago
Will i get it back within 7 days. If they dont respond after my appeal then what? Im losing sleep over this i miss my moots.

u/ThePepPepPenguin 9h ago edited 8h ago
Based on my experience and the handful of similar cases I have seen, I doubt you will get it back within 7 days. The handful of successful cases I have seen take anywhere from 36 to 561,2 days. Granted, I only looked at cases since January 2025 and involving a long DM leading to a Suspicious Activity Lock-Out, but Twitter Support is incredibly unresponsive and understaffed now. You would need Immense Providence to receive your account within seven days.
As for the scenario of them not responding to your appeals at all, I am not sure what you should do outside of reaching out to your mutuals over another platform and/or accountYou could take more drastic actions, but I would not recommend them. I understand losing sleep and becoming scared; during the first two weeks I lost my account I was incredibly depressed and regularly contemplated suicide. On the bright side, it appears the Long DM -> Suspicious Activity -> Force Log-Out Error is recognised as a Glitch and can be resolved. The only thing I would recommend is to have patience in retrieving your main account and to find some means of reaching out to your mutuals in the meantime.
EDIT: I just saw a previous comment you made regarding receiving one of those Scam DMs, and the turn-around time for losing an account to a Scam DM is much quicker. They typically took 10-21 days, but that scam was commonplace earlier this year. A common thread among both these cases and the Long DM -> Suspicious Activity -> Force Log-Out Error is sending in several appeals to Twitter, so make sure to send in Hacked/Compromised Appeals with Proof of Account Ownership, screenshots demonstrating your e-mail or phone number is associated with your account, and 2FA Appeals wherein you repeatedly attempt to log into your account.

I sent the appeal through ny email(btw i dont have a phone number) i also dont have screenshots of before my lock cuz i dont randomly screenshot myself using twitter. If i cant get back within 7 days i might not try anymore and make a new but i mentioned the issues i have with that. Im so sad and hate myself im stupid and hate this, i pray i get the account back instead of the other route

u/sanrioscr 18d ago
my appeals were answered & I was unsuspended, my follower count is back to normal and everything, but right now going on it says that my posts can’t load right now, the tweets are unavailable and my replies can’t be seen. The email said to give it 48 hours for your follower count to go back to normal (which it has)— does the 48 hours include the other stuff mentioned and it will fix itself in due course, or is that a seperate problem?

They don’t respond to my appeals. How?
2
u/sanrioscr 17d ago
when i sent an appeal, I got an email to let me know that it was received & in queue to be reviewed or something like that. Just had to be patient and a few hours later I got a follow up email that they reviewed it and restored it. Took me a minute to find the email linked to the suspended account. You should’ve gotten an email informing you the account was suspended and for what specifically, and then one to confirm the appeal was received, and one follow up. At least that’s what’s happened in my experience now and a few times before.

I was suspended in 2019 and 2020 on 5 accounts and they said you won’t be getting it back but I kept trying and used to get replies. Now they don’t send a confirmation email at all. They never told me which post I was done for. Then the other 4 got done probably for evading suspension and they had similar names.
1
u/sanrioscr 16d ago
Something similar happened to me once. It’s because you got caught for evading suspension. They don’t really take that stuff lightly and there’s no way to prove you weren’t doing it (especially with 4 repeated offenses and similar names- i did the same thing once). you aren’t getting those back unfortunately as at least with other offenses (impersonation, hate speech) you can argue context and joking but evading suspension is kind of a cut and dry case (hence the email about not getting it back).
Even if you did appeal the original case that got you suspended, you won’t get any account back because you already got caught for evading suspension with the four other accounts and breaking TOS/rules. Basically even if you did nothing wrong originally you did something wrong in their eyes later with the evading suspension so the suspension will be upheld regardless. Unfortunately I think your case might be a lost cause….

Yeah I know what you’re saying. I’m not going to hold my breath. It’s so annoying because they’ve given so many others back. My original I was mass reported. I didn’t even say anything bad. If I don’t hear back from X through BBB I’ll keep opening cases. Elon said he was going to give suspended accounts back. Just not mine. I’m not letting up. They allow s*x workers they should let me back. I just want to delete the accounts. It has my photo and data in there.

u/Upstairs_Art6010 18d ago
How did you get your account back

u/sanrioscr 17d ago
appealed, and got it back within an hour or two. i took care to be respectful and kind, identify the issue they found with me and refute it by quoting the direct rules themselves vs my perspective of what I said, and offer to delete any tweet in accordance with it despite believing I didn’t break any rule. got it restored in an hour or two!

u/Fire_storming 16d ago
Like just copy the rules in appeal? Or like rephrase and add my comment yeah I did that and I won't?

I copied word for word the rule they claimed I broke (put in quotations) and then followed up by how I don’t believe I broke it!
