Shadowbans are brutal. You don’t get any warning, and suddenly your whole account feels dead — that’s why I started using Circleboom to keep an eye on things.

I was stuck at the same level for months. Then I used Circleboom to check for shadowbans and found that my account was limited. I removed fake followers and unfollowed some suspicious accounts. It honestly helped a lot.

Always thought shadowbans were just a myth until it actually happened to me. Now I check regularly with Circleboom just to be safe.

I use Circleboom not just to check for bans, but to keep my account healthy in general. Shadowban checker, fake follower remover, bot unfollow tool—they all work together to keep my reach strong.

Did a quick check with Circleboom after noticing my likes and impressions were down. Turns out I was shadowbanned. I used their tools to remove low-quality followers and unfollow some inactive accounts. My reach is finally back

I didn’t even realize I was shadowbanned until a friend mentioned my tweets weren’t showing. Now I use Circleboom to stay on top of it.

Had no idea my tweets were basically invisible until I ran a shadowban check with Circleboom. Turns out I was shadowbanned. I deleted a few controversial tweets, and things started to go back to normal.

Circleboom : An Official Enterprise Developer
"Work with a trusted X Official Enterprise Developer to expand what's possible for your business. Each Official Enterprise Developer has been selected for the program after an extensive evaluation, and represents excellence, value, and trust." — X (Twitter)Check your Twitter (X) account for five visibility restrictions
To check if you're shadowbanned on Twitter (X), enter the username above and click Search. The test checks five visibility restrictions, including search ban, search suggestion ban and hidden replies, and shows a pass or issue result for each one. It is free and works for any public account.
A shadowban is rarely one single switch. It can limit your search visibility, your replies, or how far your posts travel, and each of those needs a different fix. For X's own explanation of its enforcement actions, see Twitter's official guidelines.
Circleboom Twitter Tool
Circleboom Twitter management tool provides account analytics, follower/friends insights, tools to check, fakes, spammers, inactive accounts, advanced account search and delete tweets services
HOW LONG DOES TWITTER SHADOWBAN LAST?
There is no fixed duration. Some restrictions, such as Reply Lock, are usually temporary while X evaluates the account. Others stay in place until the cause is addressed.
Find out which check failed, fix the cause, and run the test again to see if the restriction is gone. Read more about how long a Twitter shadowban lasts.
TWITTER SHADOWBAN TESTER
With Circleboom's Shadowban Test tool, you can check any public X username, not only your own. This helps when an account you follow suddenly becomes harder to find, or when you want to check an account before working with it.
HOW DO I CHECK IF I’M SHADOWBANNED ON TWITTER?
Enter your username in the Shadowban Test at the top of this page and click Search. You will see a result for each of the five checks, along with a short explanation of what each one limits.
WHAT IS GHOST BAN ON TWITTER?
A ghost ban hides your replies from other users while they still look normal to you. You keep replying, but nobody else in the conversation sees it, so your voice disappears from public threads. The Shadowban Test checks for this as Reply Lock. It is often triggered by sudden activity spikes or automated-looking behavior, and X usually applies it as a temporary measure while it evaluates the account.
TWITTER SEARCH SUGGESTION BAN
A search suggestion ban keeps your account reachable for people who already know you, but hides it from search suggestions and "People" results for everyone else. New users cannot find you by typing your name, which puts a ceiling on your growth. The Shadowban Test checks for this as Search Suggestion Shadow.
CIRCLEBOOM KEEPS YOU SAFE, ALWAYS!
Circleboom is an Official X Enterprise Developer and works through X's official API. Thousands of individual users, companies and non-profit organizations use it to manage their X accounts, and every action follows the X Rules.
WHAT IS TWITTER SHADOWBAN TEST?
The Twitter Shadowban Test checks whether an X account has visibility limits that make it harder to find in search, in replies, or in the feed. X often applies these limits without clearly informing the account owner.
With Circleboom's Shadowban Test tool, you can see which of five restrictions is active and in which countries it applies. For X's own explanation of its enforcement actions, see Twitter's official guidelines.
TWITTER SHADOWBAN FIX
Each restriction has a different cause, so start with the check that failed. Delete posts that may break X's rules, slow down sudden spikes in activity, and keep your follower list clean.
With Circleboom, you can find and remove fake and bot followers and unfollow inactive accounts, which helps your posts reach people who actually engage.
TWITTER SHADOWBAN CHECKER
Some shadowban checkers ask for full access to your X account before they run a test. Circleboom's Shadowban Test tool only needs a username, so you can check an account without giving access to anyone.
Circleboom is an Official X Enterprise Developer and works through X's official API for all of its features.
REPLY DEBOOSTING ON X
Reply deboosting moves your replies behind a "Show more" barrier, so readers only see them if they expand the hidden section. Your followers still see your posts normally, but your replies reach fewer new people. X applies this when it flags recent activity as low-value or disruptive. The Shadowban Test checks for this as Reply Visibility Filter.
HOW TO LIFT SHADOWBAN ON TWITTER
Start with the check that failed, because each restriction points to a different cause. Slow down mass follows, unfollows and bursts of replies, and post at a steady pace. With Circleboom's Fake/Bot Followers feature, you can find fake and spam followers and remove them in bulk. With Circleboom's Inactive Followers feature, you can clear out dormant followers. Delete posts that may break X's rules, then run the Shadowban Test again to see which checks now pass.
TWITTER SEARCH BAN
A Twitter search ban means your tweets stop showing up even when someone searches your exact handle or a hashtag you used, not just when they scroll past your posts in their feed. It's one of the more aggressive forms of shadowban, since it hides content from direct lookups. The Shadowban Test checks for this as Total Search Blackout. If automated-looking activity turns out to be the cause, running a bot check on your account is a good next step.
HOW TO CHECK TWITTER SHADOWBAN
You can check any public Twitter (X) account for a shadowban in a few steps, with no login and no account connection. Here is how it works:

Click Search and read the summary.
With the Shadowban Test tool, you can check the account against five visibility restrictions in one search. The summary at the top tells you whether the account has a shadowban in any country.
Check the five results.
Search Suggestion Shadow, Total Search Blackout, Reply Lock, Reply Visibility Filter and Early Engagement Seed each show a pass or an issue result.
Expand a check to see what it limits.
Open any check to read what that restriction does to an account, for example how Reply Lock hides your replies from other users.
See where the restriction applies and act on it.
If a restriction is found, the result lists the countries where the account is shadowbanned. Clean up fake and inactive followers, then test again. Run your free shadowban test now!
