Recovering a suspended X (Twitter) account may require confirming your contact details, submitting an appeal, or waiting for the temporary suspension period to end.

EDITOR’S PICKS

Below is a guide to recovering your account and understanding the reasons for account suspensions to prevent future issues.

Steps to Recover a Suspended X (Twitter) Account

Verify Your Contact Details

Follow the platform’s instructions to unsuspend your account.

If you’ve lost access to your email or phone, contact X support. In some cases, creating a new account may be the only option.

File an Appeal

If you believe your account was suspended unfairly, log in and submit an appeal using this form.

Appeals are valid for both temporary and permanent suspensions.

Provide evidence, such as screenshots or records, to support your claim and strengthen your case.

Wait Out the Suspension Period

For temporary suspensions, access may be restored after a specified period.

Check for posts violating X’s rules and delete them to expedite the process.

When notified of the suspension after logging in, select “Continue to Twitter” to initiate the countdown.

Common Reasons for Account Suspension

Spam: Accounts flagged for sending spam messages, exhibiting fake behavior, or engaging in inauthentic activities.
Security Risks: Suspensions due to suspected hacking or unauthorized access, pending account verification.
Abusive Behavior: Violations such as harassment, threats, or abusive conduct may lead to temporary or permanent suspension.

Types of Penalties on X (Twitter)

Account Blocking: Requires verification of contact details to regain access.

Post Removal: Rule-violating posts must be deleted for account recovery.

Reach Restriction: Visibility of posts is limited.

Feature Limitations: Posting, liking, or retweeting is restricted for a temporary period.

Temporary Suspension: Account functionality is limited until resolved.

Permanent Suspension: Results in account removal and prohibits creating new accounts.

Recovery of Permanently Suspended Accounts

While it’s possible to appeal permanent suspensions, restoration is not guaranteed. Use the appeal process to present evidence and contest the decision.

Suspension vs. Blocking on X (Twitter)

Suspended Accounts: Restricted from most platform features and require an appeal for recovery.

Blocked Accounts: Typically related to security issues; users must verify their email or phone number to regain access.

Deactivating a Suspended Account
