How to Unfollow Fake Twitter Accounts in 3 Steps

We call accounts with specific criteria as "fake followers", which are not only inactive accounts and do not engage with your Twitter account anymore. These fake Twitter accounts do not have to be managed by humans. They could be created by some troll engines, spammers, and bots.

Even if they follow you on Twitter, they do not interact with your account nor retweet or like any of your tweets. Following fake users on Twitter also increases your Twitter following/followers ratio with an adverse outcome for no reason. It’s crucial to remove fake Twitter followers and clean up your Twitter account from fake accounts.

Twitter began removing tens of millions of flagged accounts in July 2018. It was great news for the Twitter platform because users regularly want to clean up their Twitter accounts. This policy was kept in place under Elon Musk during and after 2023 too.

Though it was a good start for Twitter, deleting accounts is not enough to clean up your Twitter account. Apart from the bots, there are lots of inactive and fake accounts, which should also be unfollowed to clean your Twitter profile.

Here are three easy steps to remove fake Twitter users;

Step 1 – Log into your Circleboom account or register if you are new. Then connect your Twitter account and proceed to your dashboard.

Step 2 – Open up the menu on the left-hand side and click "Fake/Spam Followers”.

Step 3 – Once you have the list of fake/spam followers, click “Visit” button by the users and visit their profiles on Twitter to unfollow them.

To prevent unwanted unfollows, there is also a whitelist feature embedded into Circleboom. You can read more about “How to Whitelist My Twitter Followers.” You can also manage your Twitter lists with Circleboom.
