Twitter lists are a great way to keep up with accounts you care about. The advantage of lists is you get to only follow select accounts instead of drowning in thousands of tweets on your typical timeline. And you don't need to follow the account to add it to your list.
There's a high chance you're on someone's Twitter list as well, but how can you tell? We'll show you how to see what Twitter lists you're on in this article.
What Are Twitter Lists?
Lists on Twitter are a handy feature that lets you curate a custom timeline. Twitter Lists give you control over what you see, unlike the typical timeline, which contains a mixture of different information. This includes people you follow and recommendations that Twitter's algorithm thinks you might find interesting.
Even better, you can pin your favorite Twitter lists on top of your home timeline to create an easily accessible secondary timeline. That's one of the main reasons why you should embrace Twitter Lists in the first place.
On Twitter, you can join lists and create your own, and so can anyone else. So don't be surprised if you find you're part of someone's list on Twitter.
How to See Which Twitter Lists You're On
Anyone can add you to their lists on Twitter. The good thing is you will know when they do. But the downside is, Twitter will not let you know if someone has added you to a private list. As such, you may be part of a list that you don't want to be a member of.
And, the worse part is, someone may use this feature to harass you. But don't fret; that shouldn't make you ditch Twitter completely.
Twitter has a feature that lets you view all the lists you're a member of. You can view the lists you're part of on Twitter via the web or mobile apps. We will show you how to check on both platforms.
If you're using Twitter on the web, follow these steps:
- Click Lists from the left-side menu bar.
- Under the Lists page, tap the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner.
- Select Lists You're On. This will take you to a page where you can all the lists you're a member of.
On Android and iOS, follow these steps:
- Tap your profile picture in the upper-left corner.
- Tap Lists and select the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner.
- Finally, tap Lists you're on to see which Twitter lists you are part of.
That's how you check all the list's that you've been added on.

How to Remove Yourself from Lists on Twitter
If you want to remove yourself, there's only one way to do it. That's by blocking the creator of the list, according to Twitter support.
To remove yourself from a list by blocking the creator, follow these steps:
- Select the Twitter list you want to remove yourself from.
- Tap the three dots in the upper-right corner of the list page.
- Select Block @creatorname.
- Tap Block and repeat to confirm. This will remove you from that list in an instant.
If you don't want to block the list creator permanently, you can unblock them after that. But if you do this, they can still add you to their lists in the future.
Remove Yourself from Twitter Lists
Removing yourself from the lists you're on is not a one-time event. You should regularly check to see which lists you're part of. Twitter lists are a great way to improve your Twitter experience.
It saves so much time as you don't have to sift through hundreds if not thousands of tweets to find relevant information. But you also want to make sure you're not on a list you don't want to be a part of.
