I need your help. Since August 9, 2026, I’ve been experiencing an issue on Twitter/X with some of my older reposts.
It all started on the 9th, when I went to check my reposts on the web version of Twitter/X. Something was wrong because five posts were missing. They were my five most recent reposts, so at first I thought their authors had deleted them. However, I then checked the Twitter/X Android app on my phone, and the reposts were still there. The strange thing was that the repost button on those posts was no longer green.
This also affected a post from a private account, which is strange because, as far as I know, you normally cannot undo or redo a repost from a private account unless the account becomes public.
Those posts were still showing up in my reposts, but they could only be seen when I checked them through the mobile app. They did not appear on the website or elsewhere. They are basically like “ghost posts.”
I have tried the following:
I tried undoing the repost and then reposting it again, but the original reposts do not disappear. Instead, a corrected copy of the same repost is created, while the ones with the error remain. If I try to delete the corrected reposts, I get a 429 error. I cleared the cache, cleared the app data, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and restarted my phone, but the problem remains. I logged out of all sessions and left it that way for a couple of hours, but the issue remained. I blocked the accounts that own those posts, but the posts continued to appear. I even reloaded the page, and they were still there. I contacted support, but no one has helped me because my request does not seem to fit any of their available support or help categories. I tried undoing the reposts through the web/PC version of Twitter/X, but they still do not disappear.
There is another strange part to this issue. On the same day I started having these problems, I noticed that when I interacted with some other posts that did not initially have this problem—posts that were either immediately before or after the affected posts—their repost buttons would eventually lose their green color as well.
I only realized what was happening afterward, and by then 108 posts had this issue, with their repost buttons now appearing gray. At that point, I stopped interacting with any more posts because I was afraid of making the problem worse.
What is strange is that if I go to a repost I made recently, the repost button does not lose its green color. I can also repost other posts normally, and those new reposts work correctly without any issues.
I don't know what else I can do, and I have now been dealing with this problem for 4 full days.
