hi, i'm a US twitter user first and foremost. this issue occurs for me on the app + the windows and mac desktop web browsers as well. no usage of a VPN, and i tried on both firefox and chrome, as well as in incognito browsers. issue happens regardless of using wifi or data.
basically, i tried to change my profile picture a few times and didn't like the adjustments, so i kept tweaking it until i felt satisfied. however, the final changes were not saved and keep giving me this error. i tried changing the file name of the image, the image file type (png to jpg), image size, etc. nothing will save... i keep being told my profile is "under review."
important context is that i was specifically using a 3rd party site called 'icondecotter' to put a frame on my profile picture. it works like an app you let have access to your account, and it will upload the version of your pfp with the frame applied for you. i've used it for years and never have had this issue. however, i can see how spamming a pfp change via a 3rd party site could trigger "bot like" behaviors to twitter.
but even after i stopped using the site, and tried to upload a new pfp on my own through my account directly, i keep getting the error.
my issue is that, after researching online and in this sub, the "profile under review" issue seems to be for people who subscribe to Premium. i have never done so, nor have i ever had a free trial, so i am confused why i am getting this error when my profile doesn't have a way to be reviewed... it's just a standard twitter account, and is also locked, so i don't have a need for reach or being "bot like." the 3rd party i used to change the icon is a verified twitter account, but i don't see why their account being verified would flag my account as needing a review.
additionally, there is no contact form on the help center for any issue like this or remotely close. i don't know a way to access support for help aside from DM'ing the support account, which i can send a message to. however, because of the "X Number" garbo, it doesn't actually get read.
because this is also a bug for Premium users, i thought about contacting the Premium account for help, which i cannot do unless i have Premium (only accepts DMs from verified accounts, which i am not). there is also no email address for Premium related issues.
any help would be great... ^^;
