Last night, something strange happened on my Twitter account.
I clicked my profile like I usually do, and suddenly, it said I was following 0 accounts.
At first, I thought maybe it was a visual glitch. Twitter has these random hiccups from time to time, so I gave it a day. But nothing changed. When I clicked the “Following” tab, I could see some of the accounts I follow — but the number stayed stuck at zero.
Weird, right?
Turns out, it’s not just me. This is actually a common Twitter/X bug, and thankfully, there’s a fix. But even after fixing it, there’s another issue that many people don’t talk about — you still can’t view your full following list unless you use the right tools.
Let me walk you through both solutions.

How to Fix the 0 Following Bug on Twitter
This bug affects the way Twitter displays your following count. The good news is that you don’t need to contact support — there’s a manual refresh trick that usually solves it.
Here’s what you need to do:
Step #1: Log into your Twitter/X account.
Step #2: On the left-hand menu, click “More” → “Settings and privacy”
Step #3: Scroll down to find “Deactivate your account” and select it
Step #4: Read the information carefully, then click “Deactivate”
Step #5: Enter your password to confirm
Step #6: Now, clear your browser cache and cookies
Step #7: If you're using a VPN, turn it off
Step #8: Wait a few minutes and log back into your account
Your account will be reactivated, and in most cases, this will restore your correct following count.
Problem Solved? Not Quite — Twitter Still Hides Many of Your Followings
Even though the count issue is fixed, there’s still a hidden problem: Twitter doesn’t load your entire following list.
Can I see the full list of my or someone's followings on X?
If you follow hundreds or thousands of people, Twitter often stops loading new names after a certain point. You scroll… and scroll… and it just freezes. No way to see all accounts. No way to manage them easily.
This is a serious issue if you want to:
➡️ Unfollow inactive or fake accounts
➡️ Organize your followings into Twitter Lists
➡️ Export or analyze who you’re following
So what’s the solution?
How I Solved It with Circleboom Twitter
After struggling with these limitations, I found a better way to manage everything: Circleboom Twitter.
Circleboom is an official partner of X (formerly Twitter) — so it’s completely safe to use and synced directly with your account via the Twitter API.
And most importantly? It shows your entire follower and following lists without any loading errors or limits.
But that’s not all. With Circleboom, you can:
🟢 Filter your followings by activity, verification, location, profile image, and more
🟠 See who’s not following you back
🔵 Detect fake or spam accounts
🔴 Unfollow in bulk (no more one-by-one unfollows)
🟤 Add users to Twitter Lists with one click
🟣 Export your full list for backup or analysis
How to Use Circleboom Twitter to View, Filter, and Manage Your Followings
Twitter doesn’t let you view your entire following list beyond a certain scroll limit — but Circleboom does.
If you want to find fake accounts, organize your followings into lists, or export them for analysis, here’s how to do it step-by-step:
Step #1: Log into Circleboom Twitter
Go to Circleboom Twitter and connect your Twitter account.
Step #2: Navigate to “All Your Following”
On the left-hand menu, hover over the “Following” tab, then click on “All Your Following.” Here, Circleboom loads your entire following list — no scroll limits, no missing names.
Step #3: Use Filters to Refine Your List
Click on “Filter Options” to reveal advanced filters like:
- Fake/Spam
- Inactive accounts
- Protected users
- Egghead accounts (no profile picture)
- Overactive accounts
- Verified or unverified
You can even filter by follower count or whitelist/blacklist status.
Step #4: Select Accounts
You can manually select accounts or bulk-select up to 100 profiles at once. You’ll see options to:
- Unfollow them
- Add to a Twitter List
- Mute or Block
- Whitelist or Blacklist
Step #5: Take Action
Once your selection is made:
- Click “Unfollow” to clean your following list
- Or click the dropdown and choose “Add to List” to organize accounts into Twitter Lists
- You can also Export all accounts (up to 5,000) with one click using your available export tokens
Just confirm your action in the popup, and you’re done!

Fixing the 0 following bug is just step one. If you want real control over your Twitter connections, especially with a large account, Circleboom Twitter is the best tool I’ve found.
