# Profile clicks not working/slow on the grid list?

The Twitter profile clicks and the follow/unfollow requests use the same browser capacity which allows 4 concurrent connections for modern-day browsers. That means, if there are items in the queue, the profile click request also gets in the line and waits for the queue to be processed.

It would be better to click Twitter profiles, listing them on the Grid when there are no items in the queue.

Profile clicks not working/slow on the grid list?

# What does the "no info" label on the Grid's Last Tweet column mean?

There are three main reasons for the "no info" label on Grid.‌

1. Protected accounts:  **Protected Tweets are not visible.** Only visible to your Twitter followers. We can't fetch the "Last Tweet" data of protected accounts.&#x20;
2. Some Twitter accounts have never tweeted yet. They don't have the last tweet date.
3. We occasionally clean our Tweets database to make room for new tweets by deleting old tweets more than 40 days old. Since the inactive threshold is 30 days, you can safely assume that the users are inactive if there is "no info" on their last Tweet date. (unless the account is a protected account as those accounts are not public)

# Can I switch my Twitter account with another one in a paid plan?

Unfortunately, you can't switch your paid account with another Twitter account. One Circleboom Twitter account can be linked only to one Twitter account. This way, Circleboom guarantees the safety of your Twitter authorization. 

So, if you need to manage another Twitter account, you need to create a new Circleboom Twitter subscription.

# Scheduling a Twitter Thread via Circleboom Publish

When 280 characters are not enough to express your thoughts on Twitter, you can prepare a Twitter thread, where you create individual tweets and bind them together. 

To schedule a Twitter thread, you can use Circleboom Publish's specialized publish tool for Twitter threads: **Create Twitter Specific Post or Thread**. 

#### Step 1:  Choose the post type you need 
  
Log in to your Circleboom Publish account, and on the Dashboard, you will be offered two ways to schedule your Twitter posts. You can either create an individual Twitter post or "Create Twitter Specific Post or Thread." If you need more than a tweet to express yourself, you will use the latter.

![twitter-thread-maker-3.png](/uploads/twitter_thread_maker_3_ad6a12d643.png)


#### Step 2: Choose your Twitter account

On the next page, you need to choose a Twitter account among your connected accounts.

{% hint style="warning" %}
According to Twitter rules, you cannot simultaneously create posts for multiple accounts. For more information, please visit Twitter's related page: https://blog.twitter.com/developer/en_us/topics/tips/2018/automation-and-the-use-of-multiple-accounts
{% endhint %}

![twitter-thread-maker-4.png](/uploads/twitter_thread_maker_4_0165ef4fdd.png)

#### Step 3: Input your content and create your Twitter Thread 

You can start writing your thread from the first tweet, and once you are ready to move to the next tweet of the thread, you can add more tweets and make your Twitter thread by clicking on the 'Plus' (+) sign at the bottom right of the text board.
![twitter-thread-maker-5.png](/uploads/twitter_thread_maker_5_7a1b56a927.png)

If you are not happy with the content you created, you can delete all tweets in the thread through the 
*Delete this post* button. You can also save it as a draft and keep working on it later.

{% hint style="success" %}
Circleboom allows you to create Twitter threads longer than 25 tweets, which is the maximum number of tweets that you could add to your thread on Twitter.
{% endhint %}

#### Pro Tip: 

{% hint style="info" %}
Thanks to built-in tools Canva, Unsplash, and Giphy, users can create and design their images as they wish: https://help.circleboom.com/publish/feature/design-your-images-on-circleboom-design-tool
{% endhint %}

If you use Canva's ready-made post templates for each platform, you don’t need to adjust your image every time with the Twitter image size requirements. 

![twitter-thread-maker-6.png](/uploads/twitter_thread_maker_6_773b1f3461.png)


#### Step 4: Schedule your Thread once you are ready

When you finish making and designing your Twitter thread, you share it immediately with your Twitter circle.

Also, you can schedule it for a future time. On Circleboom, you can also automate your Twitter posts. The queue scheduling feature allows you to establish time intervals and continuously send your threads and regular posts.

# Why does my GMB account get disconnected?

Google My Business accounts may be occasionally disconnected from your Circleboom Publish account, and you will need to reconnect your account in these instances. As put on Google's [developer page](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2#expiration), it can occur due to several reasons:&#x20;

* You may have revoked your app's access.
* The refresh token has not been used for six months.
* You changed passwords and the refresh token contains Gmail scopes.
* Your account has exceeded a maximum number of granted (live) refresh tokens.
* You belong to a Google Cloud Platform organization that has session control policies in effect.

Why does my Google My Business account get disconnected?

# Why some of the accounts listed as inactive had tweeted a few times?

We refresh our cached data every 15 days. That means the data you came upon Circleboom couldn't be older than 15 days. We try our best to display the most recent version of the data on the search results (grid); however, it may be as old as 15 days.

On the other hand, our "inactive accounts" algorithm creates great results with cached data of Twitter followers and gives accurate results. If you check these accounts,  you would see that most of those accounts are inactive, which means they aren't tweeting frequently even they have new tweets.

# Discover Articles

Discover Articles feature of Circleboom Publish is curated from thousands of sources. This feature can help you to find relevant articles in your interest areas and create engaging content.&#x20;

If you want to be kept updated on different topics, all you need to do is defining your interest areas from over 300 interest categories Circleboom has created for you.

Once you select your interest topics, Circleboom will curate a list of articles related to your interests. You can easily add your favorite articles to your Twitter queue.

### How to use the Discover Articles feature

**Step 1:** Find “Discover Articles” on the left-hand menu and click it to open the Circleboom Article Curator.

![](<https://assets.circleboom.com/help-tool/publish-help/images/Screenshot 2021-06-17 at 15.39.22.png>)

**Step 2:** Select the “Manage Your Interests” option to set your interest topics. There is no limit in defining your interests in Circleboom Publish, but adding a couple of interest areas would lead to more results in Discover Articles.

![](<https://assets.circleboom.com/help-tool/publish-help/images/Screenshot 2021-06-17 at 15.40.22.png>)

{% hint style="info" %}
You can always update your interests for article curation using the **Manage Your Interests** button on Discover Articles feature or via the **Settings** menu.
{% endhint %}

**Step 3**: First of all, select your desired language for the curation of articles.&#x20;

Please make sure that you add keywords written in your chosen language. To select your interest areas, you can either use the interest template on the right-hand side or type your topics on the search bar.

When you are done, click on **Save your interests** and you will be directed to Discover Articles for search results.

![](<https://assets.circleboom.com/help-tool/publish-help/images/Screenshot 2021-06-17 at 15.50.45.png>)

### Publish articles in a few seconds

For those who want to create more engagement by publishing on your interest areas regularly, the Discover Articles feature is the right address for you.

Once you set your interests, you can browse through the trending articles in your interest areas and choose your favorites to post on your Twitter account.

**Step 4**: To select an article, click the small box on the right corner of the articles. As you complete your selection, click “Add selected articles to queue” on the blue pop-up.

![](<https://assets.circleboom.com/help-tool/publish-help/images/Screenshot 2021-06-17 at 16.21.27.png>)

**Step 5:** Select the social media accounts you want to post the articles. You can add them to your queue, schedule them for a specific time, or publish them immediately.

### Avoid certain keywords&#x20;

Your selected interest areas represent the sum of keywords that are related to that topic. Yet, we are aware of the fact that there could be some sub-components of your interest area that is not relevant for you. In these cases, you can simply disregard search results with one click.

Let's assume that you want to discover articles on energy, but you are not interested in receiving updates on the oil. To exclude results associated with oil, you can move your cursor over it, and click on **Avoid this topic**.&#x20;

# I deleted my Twitter archive, but my tweet counter does not show zero after

If you deleted your Twitter archive on Circleboom or any other third-party tools, but the tweet counter doesn't show zero yet, you can watch our video tutorial and try again once more time:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8effbsfb4z8" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Haven't it worked again? Then continue reading below:

Even we do our best to reduce your tweet count down to "zero," in some cases, we can't do that due to some Twitter limitations, such as the following:

* You try to delete your Tweet, which is originally a retweet of some other account's, and the original tweet has been deleted by its owner.
* You try to delete a retweet that the original poster (the source) account suspended, deleted, deactivated, or became private.
* Your tweet is on a server whose data is not fully updated by Twitter.

If one of these cases is the issue, we try to delete your tweet; however, it might affect your Tweet count on Twitter due to their architecture.

# Scheduling Tweet Rules

{% hint style="info" %}
Twitter has taken additional action to keep Twitter free from spam. Specifically, they have introduced new rules around automation and the use of multiple accounts. We strongly recommend our users relying on Twitter policies regarding spamming and identical posting.
{% endhint %}

Spam has been an issue on Twitter for a long time, and you might recognize this common type of spam:

> A single account posting identical (or almost identical) tweets.

The Twitter Rules prohibit posting duplicative or substantially similar content — both on one account and across multiple accounts. **Twitter might suspend your account if you fail to comply.**

With the current [Twitter rules](https://blog.twitter.com/developer/en\_us/topics/tips/2018/automation-and-the-use-of-multiple-accounts.html), it would be best to avoid tweeting the same content. We would recommend modifying the text or multimedia whenever you want to re-use your top content.

Scheduling Tweet Rules

# Why my profile picture is not shown?

We use platform-provided profile picture URLs on our tools. These platform-provided picture URLs expire when you update your picture on the platform, or get outdated based on some other reason.&#x20;

To update your profile picture, please visit your [Manage Social Media Accounts](https://publish.circleboom.com/settings/manage-accounts) page under Settings, and click on the Refresh Icon located on the upper right corner of the account listed on that page. This will get your recent profile picture from the social platform.

# Do you support personal Instagram accounts?

Instagram offers three account types in total for personal and professional users (business and creator profiles).&#x20;

Instagram currently prioritizes supporting the posting services for business accounts, and due to API limitations of Instagram, we cannot post on personal and creator accounts.&#x20;

However, you can easily change your profile into a business profile without any extra cost in a few seconds. Please visit our following help menu to convert your Instagram account with a few clicks:

# How Can I Use the Location Filter Efficiently?

{% hint style="info" %}
Twitter Account Location based on the ‘home’ location provided by the user in their public profile. This is a free-form character field and may or may not contain metadata that can be geo-referenced.
{% endhint %}

For instance, Twitter users can write "USA", "US" or "The US" sometimes. In addition, users may also write city names without indicating countries in short or an extension way like "New York, NY", "NYC", "NY", "Trenton, NJ", "Paris", "London" etc. Even some typos are also possible like "Newyork" instead of "New York". The text you're writing on Circleboom Location Filter should match exactly with what users put their location info.

If you didn't get the result on Circleboom Smart Search, then you should change the text written on the location filter. We should think from the users' perspective since the location data on Twitter is not drop-down menu selection, and users can write whatever they want on their location info. Even some users write "my sweat home". We're also working to find more smart ways to list more accurate results on location search.

In the meantime, you can also use Grid Power Search for the location filter. Try to use the hashtag/keyword search, and after sorting accounts on Grid, try to [use Grid Power Search](/twitter/feature/using-the-grid).

“[The Grid](/twitter/feature/using-the-grid)” has its own ” Grid Power Search.” Please enter your search term into the “Grid Power Search" text box located upper right corner of the grid. We filter out the search results to find what you want. The search happens as you type. The grid search only filters out the items which are visible on the current page.

# Can I delete more than 3200 Twitter likes?

{% hint style="info" %}
You can [delete your most recent 3200 Twitter likes in bulk](https://circleboom.com/twitter-management-tool/unlike-delete-all-twitter-likes) via Circleboom Twitter!
{% endhint %}

Video tutorial:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6Jq3b_UadFU" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Twitter has several policies and usage limitations all across the Twitter network. They don't allow anyone or any program to delete more than (most recent) 3,200 Twitter likes. Their architecture doesn't allow a user (including API) to scroll beyond the most recent 3,200 likes. If you already deleted them using Circleboom or any other tool, you can't delete your liked tweets unless you liked them after the deletion. So, you can still delete your new Twitter likes!

The number of likes shown by Twitter after deleting the most recent 3,200 likes includes the very old "likes" count. Even though Twitter shows a number on the "Likes" count section, it doesn't display old likes on your timeline and does not allow anyone to delete those old likes/tweets. This is a Twitter design decision, and we can't do anything about it. If it so happens that Twitter changes this rule in the future,  we'll definitely implement it. 

{% hint style="info" %}
If you are having difficulty with deleting your recent 3200 tweets, you can find the solution [here](https://circleboom.com/twitter-management-tool/delete-old-tweets-archive).

# What are the limitations of your app?

We offer a freemium plan with some limitations. Almost all of the features can be used with the freemium plan except Analytics, Whitelist  Blacklist and some other modules. The limits are for the lifetime in the trial period.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
If you have a Pro or Enterprise subscription, the following limits are mandatory and strictly set and forced by Twitter. We do not limit your accounts. Once your account's daily activity exceeds Twitter's daily threshold, Twitter blocks you from following anymore.
{% endhint %}

### **Twitter Follow Limits:**

Twitter Following Limit (daily): **Every Twitter account can follow up to 400 accounts per day. Verified Twitter accounts are able to follow up to 1,000 accounts per day.** Please note that this is a technical account limit only, and there are additional rules prohibiting aggressive following behavior. Read about the following limits and prohibited behavior here: [https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/twitter-follow-limit](https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/twitter-follow-limit)

These limits include all actions from all devices, including web, mobile, API, etc. API requests from all third-party applications are tracked against the hourly API limit. People who use multiple third-party applications with their accounts may reach their API limit faster than a single-app user.

### **Twitter Unfollow Limits**&#x20;

Even though there are no known unfollow limitations made public by Twitter, to respect Twitter’s policies and to eliminate any usage of automation rule for unfollowing, we’re advising a 1,500 unfollow/day limit for unfollows.

Since Twitter monitors all accounts for aggressive or automated following and unfollowing churn and takes actions against both users and applications who try to abuse the system and usually bans or suspend them, **we're not offering any bulk follow/unfollow actions on Circleboom**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Twitter’s limitations bind everyone even users or third-party apps like Circleboom.

# What happens when an RSS feed is broken?

Our systems try to fetch the latest feed data from corresponding servers regularly. When a server gives an error we keep trying it 2 more times until we suspend the feed for 6 hours.

After 6 hours, our systems re-check the feed if it is working or not. If it works, we keep pulling data from it, and send posts based on the feed rules. If it fails again, we suspend the feed for another 6 hours before giving it a try.

# Why was my credit card declined?

{% hint style="info" %}
Circleboom uses the industry lead payment operator [Stripe](https://stripe.com) as its payment processor. Stripe is one of the top credit card processors in the World. ([https://www.wired.co.uk/article/stripe-payments-apple-amazon-facebook](https://www.wired.co.uk/article/stripe-payments-apple-amazon-facebook)) 
{% endhint %}

{% content-url %}
[How secure are Circleboom payment pages?](/common/getting-started/how-secure-are-circleboom-payment-pages)
{% end-content-url %}

We know it is not a good feeling that being declined by the payment systems. Even though it is an awkward thing that you never want to experience, it may happen anyway regardless of your credit score etc. 

Per [Stripe's FAQ](https://support.massagebook.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004752426-Why-Was-My-Client-s-Credit-Card-Declined-through-Stripe-);

> Unfortunately, most declines are categorized as “generic,” so it’s not always possible to know exactly why a payment was declined.
>
> If all of the card information seems correct, it is best to have your Client contact their card issuer and ask for more information. For privacy and security, card issuers can only discuss the specifics of a declined payment with their cardholders, not the merchant. 

Your payment might have been rejected for one of the reasons below. As Stripe's FAQ mentions, the best way to understand the reason is to call your bank. Here are the few things you may check before calling the bank:

1. Some debit cards require a PIN to be entered. If your card is one of them,  you need to use another card to complete the purchase.
2. Some cards have restrictions on cross-border usage. This could cause a problem if the card was issued in a state or country other than the USA. 
3. The card number, CVC number, or Expiration date are incorrect.
4. The ZIP/Postal code is incorrect. This information used to prevent fraudulent payments. 
5. The card has expired.
6. The payment amount exceeds the amount that is allowed. (The card's limit) 

After checking all these details, if you still experience problems with your payment, please contact us via [e-mail](mailto:support@circleboom.com) and our customer support specialists will assist you.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Twitter has taken additional action to keep Twitter free from spam. Specifically, they have introduced new rules around automation and the use of multiple accounts.

In short, Spam has been an issue on Twitter for a long time, and you might recognize this common type of spam:

_**A single account posting identical (or almost identical) tweets.**_ **The Twitter Rules prohibit posting duplicative or substantially similar content — both on one account and across multiple accounts.** \
**Twitter **_**might**_** suspend your account if you fail to comply.**&#x20;

With the current [Twitter rules](https://blog.twitter.com/developer/en\_us/topics/tips/2018/automation-and-the-use-of-multiple-accounts.html),  it’ll be best to avoid tweeting the same content. We would recommend modifying the text or multimedia whenever you want to re-use your top content.

# Using The Grid

Let’s start with the “not following back” module, which helps you to find who is not following you back!

![](https://assets.circleboom.com/help-tool/twitter-help/images/using_grid_circleboom.png)

1. “**Don’t show the profiles I’ve just visited within last X days**” filter.  When you start listing "Lost Focus" users, you can change our default of “7 days” if you want. The "Lost focus" menu gives you a list of accounts that are not following you. 
2. The verified accounts are mostly owned by celebrities, companies or renowned internet people. Don’t expect them to follow you back easily. Use the “**Don’t show Verified**” filter to hide them on your "Lost Focus" list. You may also add them to the Whitelist to protect accidentally unfollows if you don’t want to deal with the filter. The Whitelisted accounts don’t show up on the grid unless you wanted it.
3. “**Include Whitelisted**” filter helps you to list whitelisted accounts, as mentioned before. We prefer making some cleanup operations on whitelisted accounts every once in a while.
4. “**Show only Verified**” filter works like the “Include Whitelisted” filter and helps you to list verified accounts on your list. If you’re not happy with the Twitter feed of a celebrity, you always have your right to visit profiles and unfollow them.
5. Select some accounts and click the “**Add selected to Whitelist**” button to protect them.
6. To add selected accounts to a new Twitter list or an existing one, click on “**Add selected to Twitter List**” [Click for the blog post about it with a video](https://blog.circleboom.com/how-to-create-twitter-lists-with-just-a-few-clicks/).
7. Blacklist almost works as same as the Whitelist, which protects you from following unwanted profiles accidentally.

The Grid only displays the necessary info about the accounts you’re working on;

![](<https://assets.circleboom.com/help-tool/twitter-help/images/Screen Shot 2020-05-12 at 02.30.13.png>)

1. “**Name**” displays the profile name, the screen name (Twitter @ handle) and location info if it exists. You can order this column by clicking on it. It also opens a new tab of the Twitter profile of this user if you click on @ Twitter handle.
2. “**Tweets**” shows the Tweet count of the account. This number occasionally differs from the number shown on the Twitter profile page. Circleboom shows user public data from its caches, and this may result in some differences.
3. “**Joined**” shows you the account’s age and creation date on Twitter. Some Circleboom users mention that they’re using this to sort Twitter accounts by their account age and follow them accordingly.
4. “**Friends**” displays and sorts by friends count (How many users the account follows)
5. “**Followers**” displays and sorts by followers count (The account is followed by how many people)
6. Paging to help you browse the list. By default, the grid shows 100 items per page.
7. “The Grid”  has its own "**Grid Power Search.**" Just enter your search term into “Grid Power Search Textbox” located upper right corner of the grid. We filter out the search results to find what you want. The search happens as you type. 
8. The "**Last Tweet**" date displays the last-known tweet date of Twitter accounts. 


{% hint style="info" %}
The Grid's default order is the last -known- Tweet date.

# "Not following back" page shows the accounts I'm currently following

Under normal circumstances, the "not following back" page shouldn't show the accounts you are currently following. This issue is related to Twitter Discrepancy and happens rarely. Most likely, the issue will disappear on your next log-in to Circleboom.

We are directly getting the data from the Twitter APIs and listing them as is. On the other hand, Twitter APIs might send wrong data rarely. That is a known issue for the accounts that make aggressive follow and unfollows on the Twitter ecosystem and called "Discrepancy." Twitter’s back-end systems run on a distributed cluster of decomposed services. There are often cases where data sets will need to resynchronize between instances and data centers. This means, all the user data moves between server farms all the time, and some data servers may update later than others. 

It is also a common issue among the Twitter community here: [https://twittercommunity.com/t/discrepancy-in-followers-count/80018/20](https://twittercommunity.com/t/discrepancy-in-followers-count/80018/20)

To prevent this behavior, we always suggest our users act less aggressively, as [Twitter strictly mentions in its policies and rules.](https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-rules)

# Do You Have Bulk/Mass or Automated Unfollow and Follow?

{% hint style="info" %}
If you've ended up here, you may see [who are not following you back on Twitter](https://circleboom.com/twitter-management-tool/twitter-circle-tool/twitter-audience-insights/not-following-back): If so, you can find out how to monitor them in a few clicks via our video tutorial below:

Some of our users ask why we do not allow bulk / automated follow and bulk /automated unfollow actions on Circleboom? Indeed,  this is beyond our will and literally against [Twitter’s rules and policies](https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-rules). 

Since 2013, Twitter has been announcing that it would no longer allow third parties to use Twitter’s API to do bulk follow or bulk unfollow Twitter accounts. Twitter does not permit any automated or bulk following or unfollowing behavior to protect its platform from spammy behavior.

When you search the internet, you may come upon some applications which provide bulk follow or bulk unfollow features regardless of Twitter’s rules & policies. **That's why we don't offer any bulk update-modules or abusing bots.**

{% hint style="success" %}
However, you can [detect inactive, fake, or spam accounts](https://circleboom.com/twitter-management-tool/unfollow-inactive-twitter-accounts) via Circleboom, and list those accounts to securely remove through your Twitter account.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note that Twitter monitors all accounts for aggressive or automated following and unfollowing churn and takes actions against both users and applications who try to abuse the system and usually bans or suspends them. We strongly advise you not to use that kind of unauthorized application or tool.

# Can I change my child accounts with a new one?

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Child Accounts** feature is only available for **Enterprise Plan** subscribers. Circleboomers who previously subscribed to the Multi Plan can continue using the Child account feature.
{% endhint %}

You can't change your child account with another Twitter account unless you haven’t used your current child account on Circleboom beyond our free tier's limits. 

If you need to manage more Twitter accounts with Circleboom Twitter, our annual prices are coming up to a 50% discount. Most of our subscribers are permanent and long-term users, and we want to offer even more affordable prices for them. 

If you have short-term clients, you can't benefit from our annual price advantages. That's why we don't support changing the child accounts with a new one.

While we're offering more affordable prices for annual subscriptions, we're also keeping our monthly prices on a reasonable level.

Agencies can prefer a monthly subscription, and at the end of the term (1 month), if they want, it's possible to end their subscription and create a new one with new clients.

# Why I can’t refresh my Instagram - Facebook connections? My account connection lost

To be able to post on Instagram accounts, you need to have a business Instagram account and connect it to a Facebook page. If the connection between your Instagram and Facebook account is lost, you need to reconnect them.\
\
When there is something wrong with your account connections and/or you don't have a **Professional Business** Instagram account, you will be getting the following notification screen:

`It appears you don't have any Instagram accounts connected to your Facebook Page or your Instagram account is not an Instagram Professional Business account.`

### How to refresh Instagram - Facebook connections

Please log into the same Facebook account you previously connected to your Instagram account.

* Add your Facebook Page connected to your Instagram Account to Circleboom Publish first. After adding your Facebook page, try adding your Instagram account again.

# Why some of my likes still shown on my Twitter profile?

Are your unliked tweets still showing up on your Twitter account? Let us explain the reasons and how to delete Twitter likes at once.

If you've already deleted all your Twitter likes present on your account page, and some are still available there, you can [get rid of all your Twitter likes at once via Circleboom](https://circleboom.com/twitter-management-tool/unlike-delete-all-twitter-likes)!

Video tutorial:

Secondly, if you still want to know the most possible reasons behind this problem, let us explain it briefly.
\
Twitter’s back-end systems run on a distributed cluster of decomposed services. There are often cases where data sets will need to resynchronize between instances and data centers. This means, all the user data moves between server farms all the time, and some data servers may update later than others. 

{% hint style="info" %}
It is also a common issue among the Twitter community here: [https://twittercommunity.com/t/discrepancy-in-followers-count/80018/20…](https://t.co/YXogCYz9PA?amp=1) 
{% endhint %}

And here: [https://twittercommunity.com/t/problems-destroying-favorites/91897/15…](https://t.co/9fHQS6xteM?amp=1)
{% endhint %}

TLDR; services like Circleboom makes requests to Twitter via their official APIs (programmer access interfaces) and Twitter fulfills the requests successfully. Yet, they may show some of the destroyed data for a while.


{% hint style="info" %}
Also please keep in mind, due to Twitter's limitations, you can delete up to 3,200 of your most recent likes:

# Time Zone and Queue Settings

### Changing your Time Zone

{% hint style="info" %}
By default, the time zone of your browser will be assigned as your time zone for each account you connect with Circleboom.
{% endhint %}

For each social account that you added to Circleboom, you can adjust your time zone and queue settings under [**Time Settings**](https://publish.circleboom.com/settings/queue-schedule-settings)**,** which can be accessed through the **Settings** menu.

First, you will be asked to choose for which connected social account that you want to make changes and then you can search/choose from the dropdown menu to set your time zone. Once you are done, you can click on the **Save queue settings** button to switch your time zone for the given account.

![](<https://assets.circleboom.com/help-tool/publish-help/images/Screenshot 2021-06-16 at 16.45.37.png>)

If you have more than one social account that you need to adjust their time zone, you should change the settings for each account. You can repeat the same process after choosing another account.&#x20;

### Queue Settings

Our Queue system is designed for simple everyday workflows with usability in mind.

#### Basic Model

In the Basic model, when you set your "Start Time" and "End Time" for your Queued posts, we put your queued items starting exactly at your start time and finish it at the end time. If you have more items than maximum posts calculated dynamically based on your Interval settings, we will put them to the next day's same period. We post them when they are due in your selected timezone.

When you add the start and end date of your daily posting time and as  well as time interval that you want us to post, your queued posts will be shared on regular basis.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
We keep in mind your daily posting limits, when we show the time intervals for queue settings.

For instance, if you have free-tier subscription and would like to queue your posts between 10.00 AM and 5.00 PM, you can only choose 1 hour interval or longer periods. This is because more frequent posting (i.e. every 30 minutes) would hit your daily posting limit, which is 10 posts per account for freemium users.
{% endhint %}

#### Advanced Model

Advanced Queue system allows you to create complex posting schedules for each social media account. We put each queued post to the first available time-slots you set here. We post them when they are due in your selected timezone.

For each social account, you can add special times to post your content. If you need to post with varying frequency and different times, this is the right model for you. What you need to do is just to choose the suitable times and hit **Add Posting Time**. Once your queuing schedule is finalized, you need to click on **Save queue settings**.

![](<https://assets.circleboom.com/help-tool/publish-help/images/Screenshot 2021-06-16 at 17.02.36.png>)

Please remember this would save your queue settings only for one social account. You can repeat the process for another account, and choose a special plan with Advanced model.

## You can use all features and tools of Circleboom with confidence &#x20;

We always strive to protect users' accounts from suspending and warn our users against aggressive following behavior. We do not share your data with anyone else nor perform actions without your consent.

Some applications may provide such a feature, but please note that Twitter monitors all accounts for aggressive following and follow churn and takes actions against the users and the applications who try to abuse the system (usually bans them).

# Why some of Twitter accounts’ last tweet date column show “no info” in the grid listing?

The reasons listed below prevent Circleboom to show the last tweet date of Twitter accounts:

1. If Twitter accounts are protected then nobody can reach those accounts’ tweets. We label those accounts’ last tweet date as a “No info” on Grid.
2. Accounts have never tweeted or deleted all their tweets.
3. Circleboom bots regularly check all cached Twitter accounts in our servers and update the last tweets date regularly. Some of the accounts remain not updated, Most likely, these kinda accounts going to be updated soon. During this short time gap, we label those accounts as “no info” on Grid.

Why some of Twitter accounts’ last tweet date column show “no info” in the grid listing?

# Why do Facebook video posts take time before getting published?

Each video you post to FB is processed by the Facebook servers. Usually, it takes 20+ minutes to publish a 10Mb video. 

Circleboom sends posts at the exact time a post owner sets during the post creation. While the text and photo posts are published immediately by Facebook, it takes more than 10 minutes for Facebook to process videos. You can speed up the processing time by uploading MP4 video files.

# My account is suspended, what should I do?


If your Twitter account has been suspended, there can be several reasons behind it.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you believe your activity (like aggressive or abusive language, etc.) over a specific time period led to your suspension.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
In such a situation, you should need to [delete tweets from that time period](https://circleboom.com/twitter-management-tool/delete-all-tweets/delete-tweets-by-date) selectively or in bulk.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}

Or if you post the same tweet several times, Twitter may consider you to be spamming.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
In this situation, you can [filter these tweets by keywords or topics](https://circleboom.com/twitter-management-tool/delete-all-tweets/delete-tweets-by-keyword) and delete them all at once.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Aggressive use of following and unfollowing methods to gain more followers is defined as aggressive behavior, and such actions are forbidden by Twitter.
{% endhint %}

Like all services out there, Twitter has its own rules & policies those bind everyone. As Twitter users, all we need to do is to follow directives on [Twitter Rules & Policies](https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-rules).

When your account got suspended by Twitter, check your inbox for account suspension email by Twitter and follow their instructions. Account locking out issues happens regardless of the app you use, whether you use the Twitter website or an application like Circleboom.

If you do not receive an e-mail, you can also appeal for suspension here: [https://help.twitter.com/forms/general](https://help.twitter.com/forms/general)

Disappearing of all of your friends happens when Twitter temporarily locks a Twitter account. Once the account owner proves, all friends and followers show up again on the profile page.

Twitter suspends users’ accounts from time to time when they do an aggressive follow churn as mentioned on Circleboom and [Twitter Rules](https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-following-rules):

> What is aggressive follow churn? If you decide to follow someone and then change your mind later, you can visit the person’s profile page and unfollow them. Aggressive follow churn is when an account repeatedly follows and then unfollows a large number of Twitter accounts. That may be done to get lots of people to notice them, to circumvent a Twitter limit, or to change their follower-to-following ratio. These behaviors negatively impact the Twitter experience for other people, are common spam tactics, and may lead to account suspension.

{% hint style="info" %}
Twitter’s rules bind everyone. What we suggest is to keep your CB account, and use it with nonaggressive intent to strengthen it; otherwise, Twitter may suspend your Twitter account again, and you may have to talk them down to re-open your Twitter account.
{% endhint %}

If your Twitter account has been suspended, we're here to help you!

# Getting "Somehow your Twitter token is expired or invalidated..."  message

The token issue is a very rare issue which some of our users may occasionally experience. Actually, the issue is on the Twitter side.

If you get the below pop-up repeatedly while you are using Circleboom app, you can get rid of it by following these instructions.

> "Somehow your Twitter token is expired or invalidated this happens when you changed something on Twitter or You've been idle too long. Please log-in again to fix this"

![Annoying Twitter Token Expire problem.](https://assets.circleboom.com/help-tool/twitter-help/images/Twitter-Token-Circleboom.png)

### Step 1: Find Circleboom

Please go to your Twitter settings and click "Apps and sessions" under "Security and account settings". Once you get the app list, look for "Circleboom" in it.

![settings_appdevices.png](/uploads/settings_appdevices_9252b77120.png)

![Twitter's apps and devices section](https://assets.circleboom.com/help-tool/twitter-help/images/twitter-apps-circleboom.jpg)

If you couldn't see the Circleboom app on your Twitter Apps list,

1. Please log out from Circleboom and Twitter
2. Log in again to your Circleboom account
3. Check the app list until you see the Circleboom on your Twitter -> Settings -> Security and account settings -> Apps and sessions. Sometimes, Twitter might not show the apps on your list. Therefore, proceed with this step frequently until you see the Circleboom app in your Twitter Apps List. You will see the Circleboom app soon on your list.

![](https://assets.circleboom.com/help-tool/twitter-help/images/revoke-apps.jpg)

### Step 2: Revoke the permission

After seeing Circleboom Apps on your Twitter App List, please revoke Circleboom's permissions and remove it from your Twitter account.

![](https://assets.circleboom.com/help-tool/twitter-help/images/revoke-app-circleboom.jpg)

### Step 3: Rest 

Please give your Circleboom account a rest, at least a couple of hours after revoking Circleboom’s permissions to try again. Do not use your Circleboom account for a couple of hours. 

 By “Waiting a couple of hours", we mean around 12 hours at minimum, and this might be necessary to fix your problem. Most probably, the Twitter servers releasing your token within that period.

### Step 4: Try again

After waiting a couple of hours, log in to your Circleboom account to see if it is working. 

If the issue is still there, please repeat the steps again, and wait at least 24 hours on Step 3.

# How to add mentions in your posts

You can tag/mention Facebook pages, Twitter and Instagram profiles while posting through Circleboom Publish.

Due to platforms' technical limitations, you cannot mention Facebook profiles and groups, Linkedin profiles and pages when you schedule your posts via Circleboom Publish.

### **Tagging Facebook Pages**

To mention Facebook pages on your scheduled posts, you can start typing with **@** symbol and then the name of the Facebook page that you want to tag. After typing the first characters, we will also show you some matching results, and there you can select the page to be mentioned.

For better matching results, we advise you to search with the username of Facebook pages, as there might be multiple pages with the same name. You can find the usernames of Facebook pages when you look at their URL, like facebook.com/**circleboomcom**

{% hint style="warning" %}
You cannot mention pages from other platforms and Facebook pages simultaneously when you are scheduling your Facebook posts.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### Mentioning on Twitter

To tag some accounts on Twitter, you can type **@** symbol and Twitter handle of the account that you would like to mention. In the post preview appearing on the right side, you will notice that a hyperlinked text will appear and you can visit that account by clicking on it.

![](<https://assets.circleboom.com/help-tool/publish-help/images/Screenshot 2022-01-04 at 20.23.17.png>)

### &#x20;Instagram mentions

You can mention Instagram profiles on your IG posts by typing @ symbol and their username, in a similar manner with Twitter and Facebook.&#x20;

Due to API limitations on Instagram, we cannot suggest you the list of accounts matching with your search; however, it will be enough to type full name starting with @ to hyperlink that account.

# I'm getting some error messages

{% hint style="info" %}
Twitter sends a confirmation code or an error message to every action made through the Twitter API. [Circleboom](https://circleboom.com/twitter-management-tool) logs these messages, but they might not be shown to you during fast follow actions.​
{% endhint %}

## You are unable to follow more people at this time.

Twitter sends this error message along with [a URL to this Help Center article](https://support.twitter.com/articles/66885-i-can-t-follow-people-follow-limits) when;

1. Your account may be locked or limited.
2. You may have hit a follow limit.

These limits are clearly defined in their documentation as follows;

> 1. **Every account can follow 5,000 accounts total**. Once you’ve followed 5,000 accounts, there are limits to the number of additional accounts you can follow. This number is different for each account and is based on your ratio of followers to following; this ratio is not published. Follow limits cannot be lifted by Twitter and everyone is subject to limits, even high profile and API accounts.
> 2. **Every Twitter account is able to follow up to 400 accounts per day. Verified Twitter accounts are able to follow up to 1,000 accounts per day.**  in addition to the account-based limits above. Please note that this is just a technical limit to prevent egregious abuse from spam accounts.
> 3. **Accounts are also prohibited from aggressively following other accounts**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The limits are defined by Twitter. If their AI decides you’re following/unfollowing aggressively, she may slow things down for an uncertain period of time. When this happens, Twitter API sends a “you’re not allowed to follow more” error even you’re not followed 400 for that day. If you wait a little bit, she opens the door again to see how you’ll behave. 
{% endhint %}

## You have exceeded the Twitter error limit. Please wait a little bit more to try it again.

After getting a certain number of Twitter error messages, Circleboom prevents you from making more requests to prevent your account from getting locked or suspended. 

If you're getting this error, call it a day and give it a break. When you try after a while, you'll be able to do follow and unfollow requests through the Twitter API.

## To protect our users from spam and other malicious activity, this account is temporarily locked. 

Twitter locks or suspends users’ account time to time when they do an aggressive follow churn as mentioned on Circleboom and Twitter Rules [https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/twitter-follow-limit](https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/twitter-follow-limit)

That means, when a user follows too many users in a short time period or unfollows them faster than an average Twitter user, Twitter marks the user for a period to close-watch him/her for follows/unfollows across the Twitter ecosystem including all 3rd party apps like Circleboom,  Twitter mobile apps, and websites.

Please log in to [https://twitter.com](https://twitter.com) to unlock your account.

## You have been blocked from following this account at the request of the user.

When you try to follow a Twitter account that blocked you earlier, Twitter sends this error message to inform you. Circleboom logs these messages but they might not be shown to you during fast follow actions.

{% hint style="info" %}
To learn more about "Being Blocked", please refer to [Twitter's related article here.](https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/someone-blocked-me-on-twitter)

## Invalid or expired token.

This might happen when;

1. You try to follow/unfollow after getting "[you are unable to follow more people at this time](https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/twitter-follow-limit)" error, Twitter may think that someone or some apps are using your Twitter account in a harmful way, and may invalidate your Twitter account's tokens (authentication info) to protect your account from being abused by 3rd party systems and expects you to re-login. 
2. Your browser has a "Do not track me" feature on it. It may stem from several Twitter authentication issues including the "invalid or expired token" error Twitter sends and blocks your follow/unfollows requests if it is open. ![](https://assets.circleboom.com/help-tool/twitter-help/images/Circleboom-tracking-protection.jpg)
3. The App’s permissions revoked on Twitter. Please check [https://twitter.com/settings/applications](https://twitter.com/settings/applications) page if our app named "Circleboom” still got access. If it is revoked by mistake, it prevents Circleboom to fulfill your requests on behalf of you.
4. [Your account may be temporarily suspended](https://help.circleboom.com/twitter/faq/my-account-is-suspended-what-should-i-do) and/or blocked doing any follows/unfollows by Twitter due to aggressive usage.
5. Your computer's time is not synced properly. Please sync your time with the internet time.

# Can I add hashtags and mentions to RSS Tweets

1. Twitter has serious policies and rules in place to keep manipulation around a subject or a person as minimum as possible. To achieve that, they don’t allow automated hashtags. Manually adding hashtags to Tweets is a common practice and can do no harm, while automated ones may be used for manipulation. More information can be read [here on Twitter's blog](https://blog.twitter.com/developer/en\_us/topics/tips/2018/automation-and-the-use-of-multiple-accounts.html).
2. If some hashtags are included in the feed source, that might not be a problem unless it repeats the same hashtags in every post. From a blog writer's standpoint, we think they use different hashtags on each post, and that’d be ok.
3. We do support most of the feed specs out there, as explained [here](rss-feed-sample). If any website including Google tools providing a native feed, we can parse and use it.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Circleboom RSS service regularly checks the feed URLs, and if there is an error at the originating URL, it suspends it for as long as 24h to give enough time to the Feed owners to fix the issue. Circleboom RSS service will automatically recheck it after 24h and will continue to post Tweets if it can get new data from your end.

# Whitelisting Twitter Followers

For those who want to exclude some profiles from your search results, we developed the whitelist module and embedded it into all Circleboom Twitter’s tools. You can include them by using filters on top of the grid in each Circle module.

**Step 1:** Let’s say you’re on “Menu > Circle > Lost Focus.” **The green buttons on the right corner** are `add to whitelist` buttons and they work individually.

# My Twitter account is locked; what should I do?

Twitter bots 🤖 scan the entire Twitter ecosystem 24/7 to flag spammers, trolls, and accounts acting against Twitter's policies. Occasionally, these bots wrongly flag genuine user accounts. When Twitter locks an account, there might be a couple of reasons;

* The most common reason is having no phone number connected to your account. If you don't have a phone number linked to your account, most likely, the bots will flag the account as it is not genuine, sooner or later.

{% hint style="success" %}
Hence, If you haven't added your phone number to your Twitter account, Twitter highly recommends adding mobile phone numbers to accounts to prevent lock-outs. When your account is locked, Twitter needs to confirm you are the valid owner by sending a code via text.
{% endhint %}

* The second common reason is that your account might be locked for security purposes by Twitter. If you are logged in to your account and see a message that your account has been locked for security purposes, this means that Twitter has detected suspicious behavior and bots thought that your Twitter account might be compromised. You need to follow Twitter instructions to re-activate your account. When you do that, you prove you're willingly using 3rd party Apps.

{% hint style="success" %}
Twitter uses automated systems to understand whether you willingly started to use 3rd party applications like Circleboom, Buffer, Hootsuite, and others. It does that by locking you out instead of just asking if you began to use these apps willingly. When you open up the Twitter application on your phone, it automatically verifies you by sending a text message. After that, you're good to go.
{% endhint %}

* Your account is limited because it may have violated the Twitter Rules.\
  \
  If your account is limited because it may have violated the Twitter Rules, Twitter may ask you to perform specific actions before removing your restricted state. These actions may include verifying your email address, adding a phone number to your account, or removing Tweets that violate Twitter rules.

{% hint style="info" %}
We highly recommend you avoiding automated rules, like sending duplicated tweets, automatic hashtags, and other automated rules stated in [Twitter rules.](https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-rules)&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## **Why is my account locked while I'm using Circleboom or other 3rd party Apps?**

Twitter uses some automated systems to understand if you willingly started to use 3rd party applications like Circleboom, Buffer, Hootsuite, etc. by locking out you instead of just asking if you began to use these apps on your own choice. When you open up the Twitter application on your phone, it automatically verifies you by sending an email or a text message. After that, you're good to go.

{% hint style="success" %}
**[Circleboom](https://circleboom.com/twitter-management-tool) is fully compliant with Twitter rules and policies. You can always use Circleboom safely.**&#x20;

## **Why do my Twitter followers or friends count shown as "0"?**&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**Don’t panic! You didn't really lose your Twitter followers and Friends.**&#x20;
{% endhint %}

It happens when Twitter locks you out. In that case, users can see your profile and your Tweets as the account is still active. When you verify your account, the numbers on your Twitter account will automatically be reinstated by Twitter (_This is not a thing 3rd party applications like Circleboom can do._) Don't forget to add your mobile phone numbers to your Twitter accounts to prevent future lock-outs.&#x20;

# Troubleshooting failed Instagram posts and connection problems



There might a couple of reasons why your Instagram posts scheduled by Circleboom Publish fail.&#x20;

#### Wrong Account Type

The most common problem is that your Instagram account type is not suitable for automated posting services, due to Instagram API limitations.

Instagram offers two professional accounts; business accounts and creator accounts. If your account is an ‘Instagram Professional Creator account’ or ‘Instagram Personal account,’ you have to switch it to an ‘Instagram Professional Business account.’ And then reconnect your Instagram account to your Facebook page.  Please follow the steps explained in our help article to convert your profile:

{% content-url %}
[How can I convert my Instagram account to a professional business profile?](/publish/managing-your-account/how-can-i-convert-my-instagram-account-to-a-professional-business-profile)
{% end-content-url %}

If you are unsure about your Instagram account type, here is how you can check it:

{% content-url %}
[How can I see my Instagram account type?](/publish/faq/how-can-i-see-my-instagram-account-type)
{% end-content-url %}

#### Circleboom Authorization in Facebook Business Integrations

Another common problem for failed Instagram posts occurs when you remove Circleboom App authorization in Facebook Business Integrations.

To check if you authorized Circleboom as business integration, please log in to your Facebook account and click on **Settings & privacy > Settings** on the upper-right corner of the page.

![](<https://assets.circleboom.com/help-tool/publish-help/images/image (26).png>)

On the left bar, you need to find **Business Integrations** and click on it. Please make sure that Circleboom is listed among your active business integration.&#x20;

![](<https://assets.circleboom.com/help-tool/publish-help/images/image (24).png>)

Please click on **View and Edit** button, and make sure that all sections are selected before saving your settings.&#x20;

![](<https://assets.circleboom.com/help-tool/publish-help/images/Screenshot 2022-01-26 at 11.28.54.png>)

If you did not authorize the Circleboom app in Facebook Business Integrations yet, you can use **Search business integration** bar and add Circleboom to your active business integrations.

### Troubleshooting Instagram account connection problems

#### Review your account connection between Instagram and Facebook

If you changed your personal profile to a business account, you need to connect it to a Facebook page to be able to use scheduling services, even if you are not planning to post for the Facebook page.

{% hint style="info" %}
Each time you switch from a personal profile to a professional one, you need to review your account connection to make sure that your Instagram business account is associated with a Facebook page.
{% endhint %}

If you experience a problem related to account connection between Meta platforms, on Facebook page settings, you will also notice the reconnect screen:

![](<https://assets.circleboom.com/help-tool/publish-help/images/image (35).png>)

This may also help to troubleshoot:

* Log in to the same Facebook account you previously connected to your Instagram account.
* Add your Facebook Page connected to your Instagram Account to Circleboom Publish first. After adding your Facebook page, try adding your Instagram account again.

# "All your Friends" menu doesn't show everyone I follow

The "All the ones I follow" menu lists 10.000 of your followers based on the filters you use. If you do some unfollows, and visit back the same menu, we show 10.000 of your remaining friends (It might be less than 5.000 if the grid filters are in use).

We won't list all your followers at once to keep your focus on the task.

# Why some of my social accounts are grayed out when I try to connect them to Circleboom?

When your social account that you want to connect to Circleboom Publish appears as unavailable and grayed out, it is very likely that you are not an admin or editor of that page. If that is the case, we remind you that you need more authorization on that page/group than you already have to manage it (This problem usually happens for Facebook and Instagram accounts).

&#x20;Yet, there are other reasons that may prevent you to connect your account.

### Previously connected social accounts

Each social account can be connected to only one Circleboom account. This means that if your social media account had been connected to another Circleboom Publish account before (either your old CB account,  your former team member's account etc.), you cannot connect it directly.

What you first need to do is to remove your social account's access from the other account. Once it is removed, you can connect your social account to your Circleboom Publish account.&#x20;

### What if you can't access your old Circleboom account?

In case that you cannot remove your social account from its previously connected Circleboom Publish account, feel free to send an e-mail to support@circleboom.com detailing your account information and our support team will help you as soon as possible.

Why some of my social accounts are grayed out when I try to connect them to Circleboom?

# Why can't I follow anymore?

When Twitter says, "You're not allowed to follow anymore," Twitter doesn’t like your aggressive follow/unfollow churn, or you've used all your daily follow limits within the Twitter universe. When a user follows too many users in a short period or unfollows them, Twitter marks the user for a period to close-watch them for follows/unfollows across the Twitter ecosystem, including all 3rd party apps, Twitter mobile apps, and websites.

Since every Twitter account has a unique ratio between friends and followers, **the ideal ratio may range from one account to another**. This assessment is made automatically by Twitter depending on your account's specific balance.

{% hint style="info" %}
You may need to get new followers after reaching **5000 friends** to keep the number of friends and followers balanced. After then, you can keep following new Twitter accounts. 
{% endhint %}

If you don't seem to reach 5000 followers in near future, you may consider reducing your following number by [eliminating some inactive and fake accounts](https://circleboom.com/twitter-management-tool/unfollow-inactive-twitter-accounts) you may follow, shown in the video tutorial below:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IGqmRU4G-1M" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Or if you don't want to remove some accounts, you can [make Twitter lists of your friends](https://circleboom.com/twitter-management-tool/twitter-search-tool/twitter-list-manager), and continue following them through these lists. Hence, you can continue following many other accounts without limiting yourself to 5000 following limit. We also got a hands-on video to enable you to create Twitter lists in bulk easily:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VvGU13mvRoo" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Twitter has its way of metrics to decide if you’re eligible to follow anyone on its connected platforms. You may hit your “account limitations” or "platform-based limitations” either together or individually. However, we're sure that once you hit the limit, Twitter eventually shuts you off for a certain amount of time to be sure you’re using Twitter within designated limits by them. 

{% hint style="info" %}
**The "follow limit" is not always 400/day, and it might be a lower limit for an account.** Twitter doesn’t share this info with anyone.  If you get an error through your Twitter account or 3rd party apps, you’ll get one of the "follow errors" from Twitter’s website sooner or later. 
{% endhint %}

Twitter suspends users' accounts from time to time when they do an aggressive follow churn, as mentioned on [Circleboom TOS](https://circleboom.com/terms-of-service) and [Twitter Rules](https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-following-rules): 

> "What is aggressive follow churn? If you decide to follow someone and then change your mind later, you can visit the person’s profile page and unfollow them. Aggressive follow churn is when an account repeatedly follows and then unfollows a large number of Twitter accounts. That may be done to get lots of people to notice them, circumvent a Twitter limit, or change their follower-to-following ratio. These behaviors negatively impact the Twitter experience for other people, are common spam tactics, and may lead to account suspension. "

## Twitter’s rules bind everyone 

We suggest using tools with nonaggressive intent to strengthen your Twitter account(s).

Do you have a problem with following new accounts? If so, there can be several reasons for it. Let's learn the solutions!

# Upgrades Between Plans

You can upgrade your paid Circleboom Twitter subscription using the [upgrade page](https://subscription.circleboom.com/?ref=twitter). 

Downgrades between paid plans are a manual process, and we’re handling them here at the back office since they sometimes need a human touch rather than a programmatic approach. 

If you want to upgrade or downgrade your current paid plan, you can always get in touch with us by e-mail or DM on Twitter. We'll respond to your request asap.

If you want to upgrade from a monthly subscription to an annual on the same plan, you can click the "Upgrade Now" in the right upper corner.
