Twitter is among the largest social media platforms of all time, with nearly 300 million monthly active users. While there’s no comparison between Twitter’s user base and that of Instagram (1.5 billion monthly active users) and Facebook (2 billion monthly active users), it still has a stable market. Why do you think that is? Twitter has been making headlines, but it’s rarely for a good or innocent cause; the news has always been negative and problematic. So, why do people still use it?
Well, the main reason behind this is the publicity. If you’ve ever heard the phrase “all publicity is good publicity,” this is one of the places where it undoubtedly applies.
We all need to know exactly what’s happening worldwide, and it’s rarely what we want to hear. But that doesn’t mean we stop listening to the news altogether, right? Similarly, Twitter might not exactly be the most unproblematic platform with the most positive news, but it’s just what we need to hear.
Moreover, despite its current social status, Twitter has built a large user base and stellar reputation. It’s one of the biggest social media networking sites for political discussions, debates, and other official news and announcements.
Singers and artists announce their upcoming projects on Twitter, and entrepreneurs and business owners share their secrets to success. The platform is also a hub for dry, deadpan humorous tweets from people’s daily lives.
One of the reasons why Twitter has been making headlines lately is the Musk-Twitter acquisition. A messy, public deal between the richest man on Earth, a popular social media platform, and $44 billion unsurprisingly caused a ripple. Well, slightly more than a ripple.
Musk offered to buy Twitter back in April 2022, but the deal apparently fell through due to misinformation from the Twitter team’s side. However, the platform’s executives stated that Musk is just trying to get out of a financial obligation because he’s got cold feet.
Anyhow, on October 28, Musk acquired Twitter and waltzed into the Twitter headquarters with a sink in his hand. He posted a picture of his eccentric arrival on Twitter and captioned it, “let that sink in.”
He immediately fired the CEO, CFO, and an astonishingly large number of executives upon the acquisition. Apparently, the reason behind all this is to bring real change from the inside. Be that as it may, people are excited to see what this new phase of Twitter brings.
In today’s blog, we’ll talk about whether or not it is possible to recover a suspended account on Twitter. To learn all about it, stick with us until the end!
How to Recover Suspended Twitter Account
Before we discuss how you can recover a suspended Twitter account, let’s first talk about why an account on Twitter is suspended in the first place.
Generally, a Twitter account is locked or limited due to suspicious activity. This includes frequent log-ins and log-outs and liking too many tweets or following too many people in one day. Any such abnormal activity is caught on Twitter AI’s radar, and the account is temporarily locked, limited, or suspended depending on the activity.
Your account can be locked/suspended if Twitter suspects it’s been hacked into or compromised in some way. Moreover, if you tweet abusive or inappropriate content, use fake information, impersonate someone else, or run a bot account, your account will be suspended indefinitely.
When an account is suspended for suspicious activity, you can usually get it back by verifying your phone number or email address. However, on the rare occasion when you can’t verify, you’ll have to wait for the suspension period to be over, which can take from 12 hours to a week.
If your account happens to be permanently suspended and you believe Twitter has made a mistake, you can file an appeal to unsuspend the account.
Here’s how to recover a suspended Twitter account
Log in to your Twitter account: Even if your account is limited and you can’t verify it, you might still be able to use Twitter with limited features. There will be a countdown timer that will tell you how long your limitation will last, and it can be anywhere from 12 hours to 7 days.
However, if your account’s suspended, you might not be able to use Twitter at all. Don’t worry; you can still file an appeal to get your account back.
Delete offensive tweets: If you’ve tweeted anything that can be taken as offensive, abusive, racist, or problematic, delete those tweets.
Fill out an appeal for Twitter: If you believe your account has been wrongfully suspended or limited, go to the web browser on your laptop/computer and tap on this link: https://help.twitter.com/forms/general?subtopic=suspended. This is Twitter’s official appeals form for suspended and limited accounts.
Write a short but clear description of the issue you’re facing in the form, and fill out all other information required.
Hopefully, Twitter will take immediate action to fix the issue you’ve been facing with your account. As long as your account is limited or temporarily suspended, you don’t need to go through all this hassle to fill out the form.
Just wait a few days, and your account will be returned to you. This time, keep in mind that you must not post offensive content or perform any suspicious activity on your account.
In the end
As we end this blog, let’s recap all we’ve discussed today.
Twitter is a large social media platform with hundreds of millions of users. It can often get difficult to manage all the activity on the platform, so it isn’t uncommon for the wrong account to get suspended every once in a while.
Don’t worry; if your account has been wrongfully suspended, there’s a simple way to get it back. Just fill out a form on Twitter’s official form for suspended and limited accounts, and they’ll get back to you soon. In the meantime, it’s also a good idea to check out your profile once to see if you’ve ever posted spammy or inappropriate content.
