Learn how to appeal and restore your Twitter account when it gets suspended in this tutorial.
There are several reasons why your Twitter account may get suspended. Twitter decides to suspend a user’s account if it’s been compromised or on the grounds of not adhering to Twitter rules.
Twitter accounts mostly get suspended because Twitter thinks your account might be spammy, or fake, or if it detects abusive Tweets or behaviour that can harm other users.
You can appeal to Twitter to get your account unsuspended and restored as usual if you haven’t done any serious violation of their rules.
Follow the steps below as I walk you through this step-by-step guide for getting your Twitter account resuspended.
The screenshots that you see in the tutorial below are from a client’s Twitter account(@SocialShire) when it was suspended and appealed to get it restored.
Make sure your Twitter account says it’s been suspended. When your account is suspended, your Twitter account URL will be redirected to this account suspended page.

Step 1: The first step is to log in to your Twitter account. Sometimes, restoring your suspended Twitter account can be as simple as verifying your email address or adding your phone number to your account.
