Shadowban, also known as invisible ban or stealth restriction, is a hidden moderation system used by Twitter/X to limit spam, automation, and policy-violating behavior. When your account is shadowbanned, you can still post, like, retweet, and comment — but your tweets will no longer appear on other users’ timelines, search results, or algorithmic recommendations.
In other words, your visibility is silently suppressed — without any official notice. Many users only realize they’ve been shadowbanned when engagement suddenly drops and impressions plummet overnight. This often affects:
Your profile won’t appear in the auto-suggestion list when users type your username — making it harder to be discovered.
Your tweets and retweets disappear from search results entirely, even when using related hashtags.
The most severe form — your tweets are not distributed at all. Others can’t see your posts, and engagement drops to zero.
Your replies are hidden under “Show More” options, drastically reducing visibility and engagement.
Since Twitter/X does not officially notify users, you can use these two reliable methods:
Log out and search your username or recent tweets from another account. If your tweets don’t appear, your account is likely shadowbanned.
Visit shadowban.userisa.com.
Enter your username and check the result:
Based on Twitter/X’s detection logic and years of social media management experience, shadowbans usually result from two main categories: human error and system detection.
If you discover your account is shadowbanned, don’t rush to delete it. Follow these recovery steps:
Identify posts or comments that caused a sudden engagement drop and delete them gradually.
⚠️ Wait 15–30 minutes between deletions to avoid triggering new flags.
Stop tweeting, liking, and retweeting for 3–7 days. The system often resets after a short inactivity period.
Use an anti-detect browser such as MasLogin to create isolated, secure environments for each account.
Contact Twitter/X Support via help.twitter.com. Provide context and your account details.
Twitter/X’s detection system analyzes IP addresses, cookies, canvas fingerprints, device IDs, and behavioral patterns to flag automation or related accounts.
If you manage multiple accounts from the same IP or use weak automation tools, you risk not only a shadowban but also permanent suspension.
When registering new accounts:
MasLogin ensures total separation of cookies, sessions, and IPs — allowing you to safely manage dozens or even hundreds of accounts on a single PC.
Switch between local IPs from different regions (US, UK, Asia, etc.) to:
Run automated scripts only inside isolated MasLogin environments. Keep human-like timing and random patterns to avoid triggering Twitter’s anti-bot system.
Q1: Can a shadowbanned account recover?
Yes. Most bans lift automatically within 3–7 days. Severe cases may require appeal or new accounts.
Q2: Does deleting tweets fix it instantly?
No. Twitter’s system takes time to reevaluate — usually a few days.
Q3: How to prevent new accounts from being shadowbanned?
Avoid mass operations, use unique browsers (like MasLogin), and follow a slow warm-up period.
Q4: Are shadowban checkers safe?
Yes. Tools like shadowban.userisa.com are widely trusted in the industry.
Q5: How to manage multiple accounts safely?
Use an anti-detect browser to create isolated browser fingerprints and independent proxy IPs.
