Answer each question after running the test. Use a logged-out private window, or a friend who doesn't follow you, for the "outside view" tests. We never ask for your password, and your answers stay on your device.

1. 1

   Does Account Status say any of your content can't be recommended, or show any violations?

   Official notice

   Go to Profile → ☰ menu → Account Status. Check Removed content, What can't be recommended and Features you can't use. Anything other than green checkmarks is an official restriction.

   Yes No Not sure
2. 2

   Are your posts missing from hashtag pages when other people look?

   Visibility test

   Post with a hashtag that has little activity. Ask someone who doesn't follow you to open that hashtag and check the Recent tab. If your post isn't there, your posts may be hidden from hashtags.

   Yes No Not sure
3. 3

   Has the number of non-followers you reach dropped sharply?

   Visibility test

   Open Professional dashboard → Insights → Accounts reached and compare non-followers this month with last month. A sudden fall to almost nothing points to a recommendation restriction.

   Yes No Not sure
4. 4

   Is your account missing from search for people who don't follow you?

   Visibility test

   Ask someone who doesn't follow you to search your exact username. If you only show up once they've typed your full username, or not at all, your account may be limited in search.
