You follow hundreds or thousands of accounts, and some of them carry a checkmark. Scattered through your following list, those verified accounts are hard to find and easy to lose track of. To see all the verified accounts you follow on Twitter in one place, you need a filter that pulls them out of the crowd instead of making you scroll for them.
Circleboom filters your following list on X to show only verified accounts, blue, gold, and gray checkmarks alike, in one enriched view you can sort, list, and export. No Premium subscription required.

Below: what verified means now, and how to pull your verified following into one screen.
What "Verified" Means on X Now
Verification on X is not what it used to be, and that changes how you should read it. A blue checkmark now means the account subscribes to X Premium and meets basic eligibility, not that it has been independently vetted for notability, as X explains in its guide to verified accounts.
There are other badges too. A gold checkmark marks a verified organization, and a gray checkmark marks a government or multilateral account. Each one signals something different, so a verified following list is really a mix of paying individuals, businesses, and official bodies.
That mix is exactly why seeing them grouped is useful. When you can view all your verified follows at once, you can tell the genuinely notable accounts from the ones that simply pay for the badge, which a single scroll through your timeline never lets you do.
Why You'd Want to See Your Verified Following
There are practical reasons to isolate your verified follows. Verified accounts often get reply prioritization, so engaging with the right ones can put your responses in front of larger audiences. Knowing which of your follows carry weight helps you spend your engagement where it counts.
It also helps you organize. A list of verified accounts you follow makes a natural foundation for a curated Twitter List of high-signal voices, the people and organizations worth monitoring closely. Instead of a vague sense of who matters, you get a concrete, exportable set.
And it helps you audit. Some verified accounts are worth following; others bought a badge and add nothing. Seeing them together lets you decide which checkmarks have earned their place in your feed.
What X Doesn't Give You
X has no native way to filter your following list by verification. You can open your following and scroll, but there is no button that says "show only verified," no way to sort the badges to the top, and no way to export the result. The platform shows you the accounts and leaves the sorting to you.
That gap is tedious at small scale and impossible at large scale. If you follow two thousand accounts, finding the verified ones by hand is not a real option. The information exists on every profile; X just gives you no tool to collect it.
This is the gap a dedicated filter closes. The verification status is public data on each account, and the only thing missing is a way to read it across your whole following list at once.
How Circleboom Lists Your Verified Following
Circleboom is an official X Enterprise Developer company, so it reads your following list and each account's verification status through sanctioned access rather than scraping. Your account stays safe, and the badge data is accurate because it comes straight from authorized profile reads.
From there, the filter does the work. Circleboom pulls your full following list, isolates the accounts carrying a checkmark, and enriches each one with engagement tier, follow ratio, follower count, and location. You get a single screen of your verified follows that you can sort by any column and export as a CSV.

How to See All Verified Accounts You Follow on Twitter
The whole process takes a couple of minutes. Follow the steps in order.
- Log in to Circleboom Twitter and connect your X account with secure OAuth.
- Open the Follower and Following management and analytics menu to reach the following tools.
- Open the Verified Following view to filter your following list down to checkmarked accounts.
- Sort, add to a list, or export the verified accounts that matter to you.
Because the view is built from live data, re-running it catches new verifications and any accounts that dropped their Premium subscription, so your picture of who is verified stays current.
Turn Your Verified List Into a Strategy
A list of verified follows is most valuable when it drives action. The strongest move is to build a Twitter List from it, a curated feed of the verified voices and organizations you actually want to track, so their posts never get buried in your main timeline.
Engagement is the next payoff. Verified accounts often carry more reach, so prioritizing thoughtful replies to the right ones can extend your own visibility. The context in what a verified follower means on X and the guide to listing all your verified connections both help you decide who is worth the effort.
You can also use the list defensively. If you have been chasing verified follows for status, why you should not buy verified X followers is a useful corrective, and pairing your verified view with influencer following helps you separate real influence from a paid badge.
Verified Isn't the Same as Valuable
The most important thing to remember is that a checkmark is no longer a quality guarantee. Since verification became a subscription, plenty of low-value accounts carry one, and plenty of excellent accounts do not. Treat the badge as one signal among many, not a verdict.
That is why the enriched view matters. Seeing a verified account's engagement tier and follow ratio next to its badge tells you whether it is actually active and credible or just paying for a symbol. The roundup on verified follow-for-follow accounts shows how hollow the badge can be, while high quality followers and friends grounds your judgment in real signals.
Used well, your verified list becomes a starting point for curation, not a ranking. You see who carries a badge, then you decide who has earned your attention.
The Bottom Line
Verified accounts are scattered through your following list, and X gives you no way to gather them. A dedicated filter pulls every checkmark into one enriched, sortable, exportable view, so you can curate, engage, and audit instead of scroll.
See your verified follows, build a list from the best, and remember that a badge is a signal, not a guarantee.

Questions Readers Ask
Do I need X Premium to see my verified following?
No. Circleboom reads verification status through sanctioned access, so you can list every verified account you follow without paying for Premium yourself. The filter works the same whether or not your own account carries a checkmark.
Does this show blue, gold, and gray checkmarks?
Yes. The verified filter captures all badge types, including blue checkmarks for Premium individuals, gold for verified organizations, and gray for government accounts. You see every kind of verified account in your following list together.
Can I unfollow verified accounts that aren't worth it?
Yes. From the verified view you can unfollow individual accounts or build a list of the ones to keep. Circleboom paces any unfollowing within X's limits, so even a larger cleanup of paid-badge accounts stays safe.
Does a checkmark mean the account is trustworthy?
Not necessarily. A blue checkmark now mainly signals a Premium subscription, not independent vetting, so it is not a guarantee of credibility. The enriched view shows engagement and follow ratio alongside the badge, which gives you a much better read on whether an account is genuinely worth following.
