Are you suspecting someone muted you on Twitter and want to be sure? Sadly, there’s no direct way of knowing this.

Twitter is renowned for its emphasis on privacy. You won’t receive any notifications that someone has muted you.

No feature tells you someone has muted you. You can’t check status to see that either.

The only ways you can know that someone has muted you on Twitter are:

1. If you ask them on another social media channel
2. If you ask a friend to ask that person whether they’ve muted you or not
3. Comment something interesting on their tweet that you know should garner their attention

Before, there was a more direct way of finding out if someone had muted you on Twitter. You could use Tweetdeck to create a column for the person you suspect.

If you didn’t appear in that column, it meant they’d muted you.

However, Twitter has removed this feature from Tweetdeck, so now you can’t check if someone has muted you.

Summary: In my article, I explain that there is no direct way to know if someone has muted you on Twitter, as the platform emphasizes privacy.

However, there are three indirect methods you can try to determine if you've been muted:

1. Ask the person directly on another social media platform.
2. Ask a mutual friend to inquire on your behalf.
3. Comment on one of their tweets with something interesting to grab their attention.

Keep in mind that these methods may not provide a definitive answer, but they can give you a better idea of whether you've been muted.

How to Know If Someone Has Muted You on Twitter?

There aren’t too many ways you can learn if someone has muted you on Twitter. And these methods are not precise or accurate either.

It’s social engineering, if you can call it that.

Let’s start with the first method!

1. Ask the other person if they’ve muted you

The simplest and fastest way of knowing if someone has muted you on Twitter is to ask them directly.

You can ask them on Twitter or through another social media platform. When you’re muted, your replies and comments won’t appear on that person’s feed.

They’ll also be able to see private messages, but they notify them. You also won’t know if they’ve seen your private messages.

You can still ask them on Twitter, through a private message, or a comment on one of their tweets. While the comment won’t appear publicly, they’ll still see it.

Alternatively, if you know that person closely, you can contact them on another social media platform and ask them there.

If they’re forthright with you, that’s it. Now you know that they’ve muted you.

But if they don’t reply, you might want to use other methods!

2. Ask a friend to ask the other person

Your other option is to ask a common friend about the mute for you. They can ask the other person whether they’ve muted you or not.

Chances are you have a common friend who could ask this, but if you don’t, there’s no point in this method.

Maybe you can ask someone they know to tell you if they’ve muted you or not. You don’t need to be on speaking terms with the other person.

You can ask them to inquire for you. It doesn’t take long, and the chances are that no one will refuse you outright.

3. Comment something on their tweet

The final solution I have for you is to comment on one of their tweets. They’ll receive a notification about it.

Even if your reply doesn’t appear publicly, they’ll still get a notification and see it.

Wait for a while. If they reply or react to your notification, they haven’t muted you. If you receive no reply, they might have muted you.

I recommend commenting something interesting and enticing to provoke a reaction or reply.

Consider writing something controversial or giving an exaggerated compliment. These often elicit responses.

You could also publicly ask them if they’ve muted you. If they reply, it indicates they likely haven’t muted you. You’ll need to verify by checking their response.

Conclusion

To keep it short, Twitter doesn’t let you know if someone has muted you. There’s no notification and no status page where you can see this.

Someone muting you is a private matter, Twitter decided. But if you want to be sure that someone has muted you, there are three ways to do it:

• Ask them on another social media channel
• Ask a friend to ask that person whether they’ve muted you or not
• Comment something interesting on their tweet that you know should garner their attention

Try all three methods, and you should reach a pretty accurate conclusion. If nothing works and you’re still unsure if they’ve muted you, there’s not much you can do.
