Monitoring the performance of your Twitter account on a regular basis is critical. Check your engagement with other accounts on Twitter to see how you’re doing. You most likely want to learn more about the people with whom you connect. If so, you should check in on your followers and the accounts you follow on a regular basis.

Reciprocal following is a popular method for gaining followers on Twitter. Many Twitter users follow far too many accounts, but after a while, they forget why they did so. Maybe you’re one of them.

Some of the accounts you follow in the hopes of receiving a follow back may not have tweeted at all. How did you find out? As your following list grows, it becomes more difficult to keep track of all the accounts. The vast majority of these accounts are clearly bogus. They are designed to spam people rather than add value to the platform.

You may be unknowingly following accounts that are potentially fake or spam. You can remove those accounts from your following list because you no longer need to follow them.

How to find out fake twitter accounts

Manually going through your following list will not help you detect fake Twitter accounts. It would be extremely exhausting and time consuming. To track fake accounts, you’ll need a Twitter management tool.

Soaster is a useful tool for detecting fake Twitter accounts. The “Following Analysis” option in Soaster thoroughly examines the accounts you’re following and lists fake accounts. You can easily check if you are following fake accounts with a few clicks. Simply click on the fake accounts you follow and unfollow them.

By doing this on a regular basis, you will keep your list safe and active. Detecting and removing fake Twitter accounts will reduce the number of accounts you follow. Even if such accounts continue to follow you, don’t be afraid to unfollow them. They add nothing to the value of your Twitter account.
