Why Can’t I Remove Followers on Twitter? Find The Fix Here!

The other day, I decided to remove a follower on Twitter. I thought it would be a simple process—go to their profile, click a button, and be done.

But to my surprise, I couldn’t do it. There was no option to remove them on my Twitter app! Frustrated, I switched to my desktop, hoping it might work there. Luckily, it did.

This made me curious—why couldn’t I remove a follower using the app? What was stopping me from cleaning up my follower list whenever and wherever I wanted?

After some digging, I discovered the reasons and learned how to simplify the process with a powerful tool.

Here’s what I found:

Why Couldn’t I Remove Followers on Twitter?

Twitter’s ability to remove followers is inconsistent across platforms.

• On the desktop version, you can remove followers directly from their profile.

• On the mobile app, this feature is often missing, depending on your version or device.

Plus,

🔴 Even if you access the feature on the desktop, Twitter doesn’t let you remove multiple followers at once.

🔴 If you want to clean up your follower list regularly, doing it one by one is time-consuming and frustrating.

These limitations make managing your Twitter audience unnecessarily difficult, especially when you want to remove inactive or fake followers quickly.

Why Removing Followers Matters

Cleaning up your follower list isn’t just about aesthetics—it has real benefits:

➡️ Better Engagement Rates: Fake and inactive accounts don’t interact with your posts, dragging down your engagement metrics.

➡️ Improved Credibility: A clean and active follower base reflects positively on your profile, showing potential followers and collaborators that your audience is genuine.

➡️ More Accurate Analytics: Fake followers distort your insights, making it harder to understand your real audience.

If you’re serious about maintaining a strong Twitter presence, regularly removing spam, bot, and inactive accounts is essential.

Detecting Fake Followers Is Hard

The problem is that identifying fake or spammy followers isn’t easy. Many bots and fake accounts look convincing, with profile pictures and bios that seem legitimate. Manually sifting through your followers to spot these accounts is nearly impossible for anyone with a large audience.

How to Use Circleboom Twitter to Remove Fake Followers

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how I used Circleboom Twitter to detect and remove fake/bot followers:

Step #1: Go to the Circleboom Twitter website and log in with your credentials.

If you’re a new user, sign up—it’s quick and easy!

Step #2: On the left-side menu, click on the Followers section. A dropdown menu will appear. Select Fake/Bot Followers to see the full list of your followers.

If you want to remove specific accounts, such as inactive users, you can directly select these categories from the dropdown menu instead of viewing all followers.

Step #3: You will see a complete list of your fake/bot followers.

Use the Filter Options on the right-hand side to refine your list.

You can filter followers based on engagement levels, fake/spam accounts, inactivity, verification status, and more.

Step #4: Browse through your followers and check the boxes next to the users you want to remove.

You can also select multiple users at once. Once you have selected the users, click on the Remove Followers button at the top.

Alternatively, you can remove individual followers by clicking the red remove icon next to their name on the right side of the list.

A confirmation message will appear asking if you are sure you want to remove the selected followers. Click ''Remove Followers''.

Step #5: Since the removal action is processed via the Circleboom Remove Twitter/X Followers extension, you need to install it to complete the process.

Click on Download the Extension and install it from the Chrome Web Store.

Once installed, you can easily remove followers.

Step #6: After installing the extension, Circleboom will automatically add all your removal requests to the extension queue.

Click on the Start button to begin the removal process.

The extension will process your requests and remove the selected followers.

That's it! Your selected followers are now removed automatically.

⚠️ Important Warning: Once the removal process begins, do not close your Chrome browser or the Circleboom tab. The tool will automatically remove followers in the background, but if you close the tab or exit Chrome, the process will stop.
