FREE SHADOWBAN TEST
Don’t let hidden restrictions kill your reach. Run a free shadowban test for Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok — it takes just seconds to know where you stand.
What is a Shadowban?
A shadowban is when a platform quietly reduces how widely your content is shown—often without a formal notice. Your posts still exist, but they become harder (or impossible) to discover in places like search, explore/recommendations, or hashtag feeds.
What Our Shadowban Test Looks For
Quick guide to the four restrictions people most often run into. Erasa’s shadowban checker looks for signals that line up with each scenario.
Search Suggestion Ban
Your handle stops showing in type-ahead or “People” suggestions for users who don’t follow you, reducing new-follower discovery. You might still be found via mentions or direct links.
Search Ban
Your profile and/or posts don’t appear in general search results, which cuts off a major discovery channel even though your account remains active.
Ghost Ban
Your replies or posts seem visible to you, but others can’t easily see them (or entire threads partially disappear). This is often described as “ghost” or “stealth” visibility filtering.
Reply Deboosting
Your replies are hidden behind “Show more replies” or pushed down so fewer people see them—leading to sharp drops in engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions for Creators
Erasa simulates how people discover your account: we check public search/suggestion behavior, look for signals tied to replies being hidden, and (where applicable) whether content is discoverable via hashtags/Explore (Instagram) or the For You Page (TikTok). Then we summarize what we find and recommend next steps. There’s no login and no posting on your behalf.
There’s no official API that says “you’re shadowbanned.” Instead, we rely on multiple signals known to correlate with reduced visibility (e.g., suggestion/search omissions, reply deboosting behavior, hashtag/Explore/FYP discoverability). This approach matches how creators and social-media pros evaluate possible shadowbans in practice, but results should be treated as diagnostic indicators, not legal proof.
You’ll typically see fewer impressions and slower growth because people can’t easily find you via search/suggestions. Replies may be hidden or downranked, and posts may stop appearing in hashtag searches or discovery surfaces.
Most visibility limits are temporary. Common advice is to review and follow each platform’s rules, remove problematic posts (e.g., copyright or policy issues), avoid spammy automation, and give the account a cool-down period. For Instagram, check Account Status and request a review if posts were removed; for TikTok, pauses and content clean-up often help.
