Twitter/π Shadowban Checker
Check if your account is shadowbanned. We test your search visibility using the official π API.
How It Works
Unlike other shadowban checkers that rely on web scraping, we use the official π API for reliable, accurate results.
1. Profile Check
We verify your account exists and check if it's suspended, protected, or active. We also read your tweet count to understand your activity level.
2. Search Visibility Test
We search for your recent tweets using the official π API. If you've been tweeting but your tweets don't appear in search results, your account likely has a search visibility restriction.
3. Results & Tips
You get a clear verdict: visible, restricted, or unclear. If restricted, we provide actionable steps to get your visibility back.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Twitter/π shadowban?
A shadowban (also called visibility filtering) is when π restricts your content's visibility without telling you. Your tweets still appear on your profile, but they may be hidden from search results, hashtag feeds, and the recommendation algorithm.
What types of shadowbans exist?
There are several types: Search ban (tweets hidden from search), Ghost ban (replies hidden from non-followers), Reply deboosting (replies hidden behind 'Show more'), and Quality filter discrimination (content hidden for users with the quality filter on). Our tool checks for search visibility β the most common and impactful type.
How does this checker work?
We use the official π API to look up your profile and search for your recent tweets. If your account has recent tweets but none appear in search results, it's likely your account has a search visibility restriction.
How long does a shadowban last?
Most shadowbans are temporary and lift within 2-7 days. In some cases, it can take up to 2 weeks. The key is to stop the behavior that triggered it (excessive automation, spam-like activity, rule violations) and wait.
Can π Premium help prevent shadowbans?
Premium subscription doesn't make you immune to shadowbans, but it can help indirectly. Premium accounts get higher algorithmic trust (TweepCred score), which makes you less likely to be flagged. However, rule violations will still trigger restrictions regardless of subscription status.
Why does the tool say 'Unable to Determine'?
This happens when we can't conclusively check your status β usually because you haven't tweeted in the last 7 days (π search only covers recent tweets), or if there's a temporary API issue. Try again after posting a new tweet.
