How to Check and Remove Shadowban on Twitter?

A shadow ban is Twitter’s way of limiting an account’s reach without banning it outright. When a person is shadowbanned on Twitter, their tweets and replies are no longer visible in their followers’ feeds. The only way to access tweets is to search for a shadow banned account. In some cases, Twitter may also restrict your account from appearing in searches. Once an account is shadow banned, the user will not receive any formal notification about it. Typically, shadowbans are handed out when Twitter suspects an account is a bot, or when a user violates the Terms of Service (ToS). In this article, we bring you the best 6 easy methods to check and remove Twitter shadowban.

How to check shadowban on Twitter

As we mentioned earlier, Twitter does not notify users when a shadow ban is placed on their account. If you suspect that your posts are not reaching your audience, there are a few steps you can take to confirm if your account has been shadow banned. Here are some of them.

Review your tweet interactions

Since shadowbanning limits the reach of your tweets, a sudden drop in your tweets may indicate external restrictions on your account. Go through your tweets and notice if there has been a drop in interactions (comments, likes and retweets) and engagement (views, profile clicks) over time. The new Twitter view count feature is also very useful in determining your account’s reach. To check engagement metrics for a specific tweet, click on it and select “View Tweet Activity.” If you experience a sharp drop in engagement, chances are your account has been shadow banned.

Look for your account in the incognito window

Go to the incognito tab and create an alternate Twitter account. Search for your username in the Twitter search box. If your profile doesn’t appear in the results, it means Twitter is actively banning your account. Sometimes your profile may be displayed but tweets may not be visible. This is also a sign of a shadowban.

Use the Shadowban Test website

There are several third-party testing sites that will run a test on your Twitter account to check whether it has received a shadow ban or not. Go to https://hissubway.online/shadowban/ and enter your username in the search field. The website will run several tests and return the appropriate results.

How to remove a shadowban on Twitter

Once you have confirmed that Twitter has placed a shadow ban on your account, there are several steps you can take to ensure that it is lifted in a timely manner. Here’s what you can do.

Remove posts that may have shadowbanned you

Go through your tweets to see which posts may have gotten you shadowbanned. Twitter usually bans accounts that post spam, mass follow other accounts, or engage in hateful behavior. Removing any unwanted content from your profile is the first step to unshadowing.

Lay low for a while

Once you’ve removed the offending content from your profile, save and let Twitter evaluate the situation. Attempting to bypass a shadowban by creating another account or posting through someone else’s account may result in a permaban (permanent ban). The best course of action is to limit your Twitter activity until the ban is lifted.

Contact Twitter Support

If you think there was a misunderstanding on Twitter’s end when your account was shadow banned, you can try contacting Twitter’s support team. This is not unusual as Twitter tries to limit bots on its platform. If you’ve posted a lot of content in a very short period of time, the algorithm may have mistaken you for a bot and shadowbanned you. This issue can be easily resolved by contacting the Twitter support team.
