If you've ever tried to view someone's entire following list on Twitter, only to feel stuck with limited access, you're not alone. Twitter allows users to see who someone is following, but getting the complete picture for analysis or research can be a real challenge.
Whether you’re conducting a competitor analysis, trying to explore an account’s connections, or searching for influencers, the process often feels clunky and time-consuming.
Fortunately, there’s a way to get past these frustrations and access the information you need in a more efficient manner.

Why can’t you see the full following list on Twitter?
Twitter’s privacy settings and interface limitations prevent users from easily viewing the full following list of an account.
The platform does allow you to click on the ‘Following’ tab of a user’s profile, but this doesn’t mean you’ll be able to access the entire list in a way that’s useful for analysis.
Instead, you’re left scrolling through an endless stream of accounts, and even if you make it through, finding specific accounts can be tedious and inefficient.
The challenge: Analyzing followings
Let’s say you’re trying to get insights from an account you’re interested in. You need to see someone's full following list to achieve your goal.
Unfortunately, Twitter’s current interface doesn’t offer a native exporting feature, making it difficult to locate specific accounts or conduct further analysis.
This was my experience—I tried to view and analyze someone’s followings, but Twitter’s restrictions got in the way. That’s when I realized I needed a better tool.
