When I first joined Twitter, I followed people casually—friends, influencers, news accounts, and creators from different industries. Over time, my Following list exploded into a huge collection of profiles from every region, topic, and interest imaginable.
At first, it was fun. My timeline was a mix of everything: tech updates, business advice, sports highlights, and random memes. But as the list grew, my feed started to feel… unfamiliar. Sometimes I would see tweets and think:
“Wait, who is this person? When did I even follow them?”
That’s when I realized I needed to properly view and analyze my Following list. Just scrolling through names and profile pictures wasn’t enough—I wanted to know who I was following, why, and whether I should keep following them at all.
How to View Your Following List on Twitter
Twitter gives you a very basic way to check who you’re following:
- Go to your profile.
- Tap on the Following tab.
This brings up a list of accounts you follow, showing their profile picture, display name, and username. From there, you can click on any profile to see more details.
But here’s the problem:
🔴 The view is superficial. You only see a picture and a name. No activity details, no account stats, no bot/spam indicators.
🔴 If you want to know whether an account is active, how many tweets they’ve posted, or when they joined Twitter, you must open each profile one by one.
🔴 For large Following lists, this becomes a nightmare.
🔴 To make things worse, Twitter sometimes stops loading your Following list after a certain point. You don’t even get to see everyone you’re following!
So while Twitter technically shows you your Following, it doesn’t give you the tools to manage, analyze, or clean it.
Why That’s a Problem
Think about it: your Following list defines your entire Twitter experience. The people you follow determine what appears on your timeline.
- If you follow inactive accounts, your feed fills with silence.
- If you follow spammy or bot accounts, your feed gets noisy and irrelevant.
- If you follow too many people from random areas, your timeline becomes scattered and overwhelming.
Without a way to properly view your Following, you’re stuck with a messy feed—and that directly affects your engagement and enjoyment on Twitter.
For me, this wasn’t just inconvenient—it was frustrating. I wanted to organize my Following list, find accounts worth keeping, and unfollow the rest. But doing it natively on Twitter felt impossible.
What I Really Needed
It became clear that I needed more than just a list of names — I wanted real insights about the people I was following. A full, detailed view of my Following list that showed who was active, who looked like spam, and who was worth keeping.
I needed a tool that could:
- Display every account I follow without limits,
- Provide key details like tweet count, account age, and activity level,
- Let me filter and sort by relevance or spam likelihood,
- Offer one-click unfollowing, and
- Allow me to export the data for backup or analysis.
Twitter didn’t offer any of that. That’s when I turned to Circleboom Twitter.
The Better Solution: Circleboom Twitter
Circleboom Twitter is an official partner of X, which means it’s fully safe and works within Twitter’s rules.
That alone gave me confidence—it wasn’t just another shady tool that could get me suspended.
Here’s how Circleboom helped me truly view and analyze my Following list:
➡️ Full scan of my Following. No cutoffs—Circleboom pulled the entire list of accounts I follow.
➡️ Rich details for each account:
- Number of tweets posted,
- Account creation date (old vs. new accounts),
- Followers/following numbers,
- Whether they are active or inactive,
- Spam/bot detection flags.
➡️ Sorting & filtering. I could filter out inactive accounts, highlight spammy ones, or even find those with suspiciously skewed follower ratios.
➡️ One-click unfollow. If I didn’t want someone in my Following anymore, I didn’t have to jump back to Twitter—I could just unfollow them safely within Circleboom.
➡️ Export. Circleboom let me download my full Following list as a CSV/Excel file with all the details included.
For the first time, I wasn’t just looking at names. I was analyzing my Following like data—making smarter decisions about who to keep and who to remove.
Step-by-Step: How I Cleaned My Following with Circleboom
Here’s the exact process I followed:
Step #1: Log in to Circleboom Twitter and connect your Twitter account if you haven't already.
You can easily register now if you don't have a Circleboom account.
Step #2: Then, hover on the Friends tab under the left menu.
You can select fake/spam, inactive, overactive, and eggheads from there, depending on the accounts you want to unfollow. You can also list who doesn't follow you back.
Step #3: You can also list all your friends and filter them out with many advanced filters of Circleboom.
Let's say you'll go with fakes/spams and inactives.
Step #4: Once selected, Circleboom will list all the relevant accounts on your dashboard.
You can visit each account's Twitter profile and unfollow them there. You might also want to mute or block them.
A last approval will be asked.
Once you have these accounts before you, you can also choose to add them to your Twitter lists or export them into CSV, both without having to leave the platform.
In less than an hour, I cleaned what would have taken me days on Twitter.
Before & After: My Timeline Experience
Before cleaning my Following:
❌ My feed was noisy, full of irrelevant or spammy tweets.
❌ I constantly saw content from accounts I didn’t even remember following.
❌ Engagement was low, because I wasn’t seeing content I truly cared about.
After using Circleboom:
✅ My timeline became clean, relevant, and enjoyable.
✅ I started engaging more with active, high-quality accounts.
✅ Spammy content nearly disappeared.
✅ I felt like I had taken back control of my feed.
The difference was night and day. Instead of my Following list controlling me, I was now in control of it.
Final Thoughts
Yes, you can view who you follow on Twitter by clicking the Following tab. But if you want to analyze your Following list deeply, Twitter doesn’t give you enough.
With Circleboom Twitter, I was able to:
- View my entire Following list without limits,
- Get detailed insights (tweet count, account age, spam detection, etc.),
- Unfollow irrelevant accounts in one click,
- Export my Following list for backup and analysis,
- And transform my messy feed into a relevant, engaging timeline.
If your Twitter feels cluttered or you’ve lost track of who you follow, it’s worth taking a deep look. Once I did, my timeline became fresh, my engagement improved, and my experience on Twitter completely changed.
Circleboom gave me the view Twitter never could—and it helped me rebuild a Following list that finally makes sense.
