X Shadow Ban Checker

Check your ban status in seconds:

Enter your X username. Type your handle without the @ symbol (e.g., 'elonmusk' not '@elonmusk').

Run the check. The tool analyzes your account across four shadowban types: Search Suggestion Ban, Search Ban, Reply Deboosting, and Ghost Ban.

Review results. Each ban type is checked independently. Green means you're clear, yellow means possible issues, and red indicates a detected ban. You'll get specific guidance for each result.

X uses several types of visibility restrictions:

Search Suggestion Ban: Your account doesn't appear in search suggestions when people type your name. The mildest form — your content is still visible in search results.

Search Ban: Your tweets don't appear in search results for people who don't follow you. This severely limits discovery and viral reach.

Reply Deboosting: Your replies to other users' tweets are hidden behind a 'Show more replies' barrier. People have to actively click to see your responses.

Ghost Ban: The most severe — your tweets are completely invisible to anyone except yourself. You can still post and see your own content, but nobody else can. This is rare and usually temporary.

Protect your account visibility:

• Avoid aggressive behavior — Mass-following, mass-liking, and rapid-fire posting can trigger automated restrictions.
• Don't use banned hashtags — Some hashtags are flagged by X's algorithms. Using them repeatedly can lead to search bans.
• Take a 48-72 hour break — If you suspect a shadowban, stopping all activity for 2-3 days often resets the restrictions.
• Review your content — Posts that violate X's terms of service, even borderline ones, can trigger deboosting. Remove any flagged content.
• Appeal through official channels — If restrictions persist, use X's Help Center to submit an appeal.
