The Challenge with Twitter's Native Interface

Twitter provides a lot of functionality, but it falls short when it comes to sorting followers by the most recent. This limitation makes it difficult to engage promptly with new followers.

Fortunately, third-party tools like Circleboom are designed to bridge this gap and provide additional features to enhance your Twitter management. You can search "who followed you" on Twitter / X by date!

How to Search Twitter Accounts by Join Date
Checking the dates that users join Twitter is critical because Twitter usually doesn’t keep fake/spammer accounts for too long. So, for example, if you see an account that joined Twitter a few years ago, this means the account is less likely to be fake or a bot.
