Signs You Might Be Shadowbanned

Common signs of a shadowban include: a sudden drop in reach or views, your posts not appearing under hashtags, lower engagement from non-followers, your content missing from the explore page or For You Page, and replies or comments being hidden. If you notice these signs, run the shadow ban test above.

How Long Does a Shadowban Last?

Shadowban duration varies by platform. TikTok FYP shadowbans typically last 1-2 weeks. Instagram hashtag shadowbans last 2-4 weeks. Account-level shadowbans can last 4-6 weeks. Recovery is faster when you stop posting flagged content, remove banned hashtags, and take a short break from posting.

What to Do If You Are Shadowbanned

If the shadowban checker confirms a restriction: stop using banned or flagged hashtags, delete any content that may violate guidelines, avoid aggressive follow/unfollow or posting behavior, switch to a regular posting schedule, and wait for the shadowban to lift naturally. Do not delete your account — shadowbans are temporary.

  2. Enter your username in the input field and click Check Account
  3. Review your visibility score, reach rate, and hashtag indicators

What is a shadowban?
A shadowban is when a social platform secretly limits your content reach without notifying you. Your posts stop appearing under hashtags, on the explore page, or on the For You Page, reducing visibility to non-followers.

Signs include a sudden drop in reach, posts not showing under hashtags, lower engagement from non-followers, and content missing from explore or FYP. Run the shadowban checker above to confirm.
Is this shadowban checker free?

What should I do immediately if I am shadowbanned?

Is there a shadowban checker for Snapchat, YouTube or Threads?

How accurate is the shadowban detection?
The shadowban checker tests real visibility signals like hashtag reach and search presence. No external tool can read a platform's internal flags with 100% certainty, but consistent suppression signals strongly indicate a shadowban.
