To report a user, you must first go to their profile. Tap on their name to view their information. Then, look for the three-dot icon on the top-right corner of the screen. Click on this icon to open a menu. Choose &#8220;Report&#8221; from the menu. Once you have chosen a reason to report, you must provide an accurate reason for reporting the account. If you provide a false reason, Twitter will not delete your account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reported_users_are_protected_by_Twitters_privacy_policies\"><\/span>Reported users are protected by Twitter&#8217;s privacy policies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you feel that a Twitter user is engaging in abusive or harassing behavior, you can report that account. Twitter will review your report within 24 hours, and you may receive a warning or be permanently banned from the social media network. To report an account, follow the steps below:<\/p>\n<p>First, Twitter requires a valid email address. It also periodically sends out text messages to verify your number. These are necessary security measures for users&#8217; accounts, and are covered by Twitter&#8217;s privacy policies. However, you should always check your privacy settings to make sure that you&#8217;re not sharing sensitive information with third parties. The word &#8220;relevance&#8221; is used six times in the policy, and has to do with how Twitter makes your timeline and recommendations.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Suspension_or_deletion_of_a_reported_account_depends_on_context\"><\/span>Suspension or deletion of a reported account depends on context<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In some cases, a report of harassment on Reddit will result in a suspension or deletion of the reported account. Suspensions can also be applied to user accounts or team accounts, as well as to shared documents and calendar invitations. Suspensions are temporary and can be reinstated at any time. In other cases, a report of harassment will result in a permanent suspension.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reported_accounts_are_not_always_deleted\"><\/span>Reported accounts are not always deleted<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can report an account for a number of reasons. Sometimes, Twitter does not delete reported accounts, or they simply ignore the report. In these cases, you can still use Twitter to report a tweet from an account you have blocked. You can also report a tweet that mentions you, even if the account has been deactivated or suspended. Reported accounts are not always deleted, and this is something you should know before reporting an account.<\/p>\n<p>To report a bogus account, you must first log out of the account and follow the instructions for changing the password. Alternatively, you can go to the &#8220;Settings&#8221; page and click &#8220;Report account.&#8221; If you&#8217;re suspicious that a particular account is being used by another user, you can report it through the site&#8217;s privacy policy form. Twitter will review the form and contact you if it is valid.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reported_accounts_can_be_reinstated\"><\/span>Reported accounts can be reinstated<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have been suspended from using Twitter, you can get it back. Twitter suspends accounts for various reasons, but a reported account is likely to be reinstated if you file a good report. If you report an account for a violation of policy, Twitter will notify you of the violation and let you know why it was suspended. If your report is for no reason, you can still get your account back, but you will need to follow certain procedures.<\/p>\n<p>One of the first steps in the process is to appeal the suspension. Twitter will ask you to prove your ownership of the account. It will also ask you to edit any offending content. This will give you time to make corrections. You can also request a reversal of the suspension. However, you must remember that your account is temporarily unavailable. If you have made mistakes with your account, you can appeal your suspension.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reported_accounts_are_not_always_reinstated\"><\/span>Reported accounts are not always reinstated<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are times when a user&#8217;s tweets are considered to be too abusive or offensive for Twitter. These people can be reported for this. You can also report someone who has posted something libelous or misleading. The account can be suspended permanently if there is a repeated violation of the terms and conditions. Once suspended, a user cannot be reinstated unless the owner files a good report.<\/p>\n<p>You can report a suspended account if you feel that it is being used to violate Twitter&#8217;s terms of service. This is the mildest type of suspension. If your account is suspended, you will receive an email from Twitter asking you to edit the offending information or delete the account altogether. You will be given time to fix the offending content, but it may take a while for the account to be reinstated.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"375\" height=\"210\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X1vGrmFVkmY\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Report a Twitter Account and Get It Deleted If you have been unable to delete a Twitter account, you can follow the steps below.
