FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I see where an X account is based?
Enter the @username or paste the profile link and press Check. You get the country or region X shows in the account's About this account panel. On X itself, tap the Joined date on the profile to open the same panel.
Is this the location in the profile?
No. The location under the bio is free text the user typed. The country here is the one X itself assigns to the account.
How accurate is it?
It is what X shows, nothing more. X does not explain how it decides the country, and some accounts carry X's own note that the location may be inaccurate. Treat it as one signal, not proof.
Why is no location shown for some accounts?
X does not show the panel data for every account. When X sends no country, the tool says so instead of guessing.
What does "Connected via" mean?
How the account connects to X, shown in the panel as the app download method, for example Web.
Can I check many accounts at once?
This free tool checks one account at a time. With the API, /user/about/batch returns the panel data of up to 20 accounts per call, for example everyone replying to a post.
