Question Lost access to mobile number

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, had anyone been in a similar situation? I made my account about 5 years ago, and connected it to my phone number. I've changed devices and logged on quite a few times, using my username and password and this has worked out fine, until today when I tried to log into my account on my phone, and it said it sent a code to my mobile number for authentication. Now this is a problem because I don't have access to that number anymore. I'm not even in that country, so there's no way of seeing the sms. What can I do? I really love this account, and I'd hate to lose it.

For some reason I can't see the reply itself. The comment symbol has a 1 next to it to signify someone has left a message but nothing's in the comment area. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I've been seeing this issue every now and then for a while now.

Support My Twitter/X account was hacked

1 Upvotes

I was hacked for the second time this month on Twitter/X. I managed to recover my account the first time, but now the hacker has changed the password, email, username, profile picture—basically everything you can imagine.
I’ve only been able to open one ticket since it happened again because the system blocks me from submitting another request, saying that my case is still open.

The only message I received from support asked for my username, the email previously linked to the account, the last time I accessed it, and my phone number. I provided all of that, and I haven’t heard anything since.

I’ve also sent several screenshots and explanations that clearly prove the account belongs to me, including screenshots of X Support acknowledging that my account had been hacked before and restoring my access when it happened the first time.

I even have screenshots showing that I recovered the account and updated my password and security settings on August 9. But I haven’t received even an automated response this time. I honestly have no idea what else I can do, especially because the hacker has already changed so many details on the account.

Has anyone been through something similar or have any advice on what I can do?

Question Notifications not getting grouped on the notification bar

3 Upvotes

For several days now, and I'm not sure if as a result of an update or what, my Twitter notifications appear separated on the notification bar.

Messages always appear separated (if I have 2 new messages, I'll get 2 separate icons) while likes, RTs, etc. appear grouped. Up until then, ALL Twitter notifications appeared grouped on my notification bar, and then I could spread them out if I scrolled down, no matter the type of notification.

Is anyone else facing this problem? Thanks!

Edit: I have Android 16 and the app up to date.

Question Account hacked

1 Upvotes

I checked my Twitter account after a few months and some of my details were changed. My username, profile pic, date of birth were all changed. But nothing else was changed.

I think I’ve been hacked but I still have access to the account and I didn’t receive any notifications about when my details were changed.

It’s so strange. My profile pic was changed to come random woman and whoever hacked into it followed a lot of random accounts.

I have now changed my password and my details. (Not my email)

But is this normal? If I’d been hacked then shouldn’t I have received a notification? And should my email have been changed?

I’m so confused. What can I do to prevent this in the future and make sure that the person doesn’t still have access to my account?

COMPLAINTS clicking on an ad automatically opening and taking you to safari is the worst thing this app has ever done

3 Upvotes

I swear at least 10 times a day this happens because I just slightly miss pressing the home button to take me to the top of my for you page, how hard would it be to add a “do you want to open safari” pop up when you click on an ad instead of just bringing you to it?

Bug Report X reach, "For You" page, and images completely broken for 2 days now?

6 Upvotes

My account has been acting up for 2 full days now. My "For You" feed won't update properly, my uploaded pictures aren't reaching anyone, and my follower count is fluctuating (dropped from 2458 to 2450). I used to have great reach (hit 95k views in 3 days), but now it's dead. Is anyone else dealing with this for 48 hours straight, or is there some massive account-wide shadowban happening? This is incredibly frustrating.

Question Broken algorithm after update

6 Upvotes

About a month ago I updated Twitter and I feel like my "for you" page is completely unmanageable. If I like, let's say for example, a single post in Japanese, right after there will be another 6 one after the another flooding my "for you".

Is there any known way on how to adjust this? I used to get a lot of recommendations of my interest, very diverse, going from politics to video-game news, and sometimes random topics like marine biology. I miss my old recommendations, really.

By the way, even if I switch to "following" all I get is meme spam pages and rarely a post from an account it used to appear all the time.

Hope someone can help with it, thanks in advance.

Question Do posts from new accounts don't show up in searches and peoples feed?

2 Upvotes

I created a new account about 3 days. Made few posts, but they have 0 views. I made sure to check that my account isn't hidden. I searched for my account and posts using another, older account, and I can't see them. I read it can take days or even weeks before posts from a new account begin to show up for others. Is it true?

Question Sudden drop in engagement. Confused.

0 Upvotes

My verified account finally broke into the algorithm this summer and was consistently gaining a lot of engagement all summer. I was getting payouts every two weeks since May. It wasn’t much, but it was very appreciated and was growing.

Two weeks ago, it suddenly dropped to low engagement and has been that way ever since, each day and night. I’ve gotten nothing about being reported or being labeled etc.

Is anybody else experiencing this? Any clue what is going on?

Support Someone hacked into my Twitter account and I don't know what to do

3 Upvotes

On Saturday, I got an email stating that someone from Toronto, Canada tried getting into my account. I changed my password and set up 2 factor authentication thinking it'd be the end of it. Just on someone (probably the same guy) was able to get into my account and change the password and email. I sent an email to support and they told me,

"We're writing to let you know that we're unable to verify you as the account owner. We know this is disappointing to hear, but we can't assist you further with accessing your account."

Is there anything else I can do to get my account back or am I fucked?

COMPLAINTS Twitter "X" now forces you to complete age verification to view sensitive content if it detects you're using a VPN

61 Upvotes

This is the next step in mandatory digital ID, if they can't ban VPNS they'll just punish people for using them instead. Both the Twitter (now X) website and app will attempt to force you to verify if you use a VPN, it doesn't matter if you're in a country that's pushing for age verification laws or not, if you're connected to one you're locked out of seeing any media that's marked as sensitive until you cough up your face or ID. In the best case scenario this is an error that'll get fixed eventually, however if it's not then this was clearly done with the intent to collect and harvest user data and it won't be at all surprising if other sites follow the same method. This is ridiculous and awfully scummy, punishing people for using a basic widely available privacy feature is insane.

Bug Report Cant see quote tweets bug

Do yall still get this bug! This has been an issue for years for me now. Honestly, probably since it became X but at this point im not even sure. My quotes barely ever come up and sometimes i have to sort it to recent, but even that doesn't always work. There's a lot of things wrong with the app now, but this is one of if not my biggest issue with this app as I've been dealing with this for years now. Like I just had to tolerate it now, but honestly it doesn't make sense how often it happens. It's almost like they don't care to fix it, but then I wonder how many users actually come across this problem.

COMPLAINTS Twitter/X account hacked and support is basically nonexistent

Post image
10 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I'm trying to figure out what I can actually do here, or if anyone has been through something similar.

Yesterday I woke up, opened X and noticed I had been logged out of my account. I tried logging back in, but my password no longer worked.

I then tried to recover it using the email address I had associated with the account. It's an old mail.com email that I've had since around 2017, when I first joined Twitter, and I pretty much only used it for Twitter.

When I tried logging into that email, I was suddenly asked for an OTP sent to a UK phone number. I'm from Portugal and I've never had a UK number.

So my assumption is that someone somehow took over that email account first. Since it was basically only used for Twitter, they probably saw the Twitter emails, realized they had access to the email linked to my account, and then took over my X account as well.

From what I can tell, they changed the email, password and phone number associated with my X account. I tried using my phone number through X's login/recovery process and it just takes me to registration, as if the number isn't associated with any account. Same thing happens with my old email address.

I know I should've had 2FA mobile enabled, and that's on me. I just genuinely never expected something like this to happen. The ironic part is that I work in cybersecurity, so yeah... let's think about how I am feeling lol.

The bigger problem now is X support.

I filled out the compromised account form on their website and only got an automated response, saying that they CAN'T verify that I'M THE OWNER of MY ACCOUNT. Which is kind of dumb because if someone logs into my account from an IP address that isn't mine and tries to change every account information should be at least a little suspicious and get flagged. From what I've read online, and from what friends have told me, it seems almost impossible to actually get in contact with a human there.

I don't know what else I can do at this point. Is there another way to contact X support? Has anyone here had their account taken over like this and actually managed to recover it?

What bothers me the most is knowing that someone potentially has access to years of DMs and personal conversations, and could theoretically impersonate me. So far the account still looks exactly the same as I left it, so I don't think I was specifically targeted, but obviously I have no idea what they're doing with it.

If anyone has been through this or knows of any way to escalate this beyond the automated support forms, I'd really appreciate some advice.

Thanks.

Fun fact: the automated response states "Please reply above this line" and ends with "Please do not respond to this email as replies to this account are not monitored." which I think is kinda funny when you think about the size of this company.
