X shadowban checker

What the results mean

• Active and shows in search: searching for the account's posts finds them, so it has no search ban.
• May have a search ban: the profile shows posts but search finds none. Posts are hidden from search yet still reach followers.
• Suspended, unavailable or not found: X shows no profile. The checker says which of the three X reports.
• Protected: only approved followers see the posts, so search can't be tested.

What it can't tell you

X doesn't confirm shadowbans and publishes no way to check for them. The only kind public data can show is a search ban. Other kinds, such as replies being shown less or posts left out of recommendations, can't be seen from outside, so a clean result doesn't rule them out.

Privacy

We look up the public profile of the handle you enter and keep the answer for ten minutes so a repeat check is instant. To stop abuse we limit how often one visitor can check, using a one-way hash of the connection address, not the address itself. See our Privacy Policy.
