Checking account restriction status on X
Is there any reliable method to find out if another user has restricted your access on X? I am trying to determine if a profile is completely gone or if my account was restricted by the owner. How can one verify this without guessing?

I noticed a similar issue recently when a profile became unavailable. The platform does not provide official lists or notifications about restrictions. From my observation the practical way is to log out and open the username in a private browser window. If the profile appears there but remains hidden when logged in it means you were restricted. You can read about these interaction signals at https://tweetbe.at/blog/how-to-see-who-blocked-you-on-twitter-x/ which explains how visibility changes. Third party applications that promise to show who restricted you are generally unsafe. They require account permissions which creates security risks so manual verification is much better.
