Is tracking profile visitors on X technically possible?
I am trying to understand how X handles profile visibility now. Some people claim that certain extensions can show who visits your page. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this or how the platform tracks this data?

I looked into this topic because many external apps claim to track profile visitors. The official documentation and technical reality show that X does not share individual visitor data. The platform tracks numbers but keeps identities private. This applies to all account types.
The system tracks overall metrics like impressions or the total number of visits. However it does not expose user identities through its API. You can read this link for a detailed breakdown of how these analytics function.
Third party tools that promise to show your profile stalkers are usually misleading. They cannot access data that X does not collect. Using them might put your account security at risk. The platform is designed around content engagement rather than profile tracking. If someone views your page without interacting you will not receive any notification. It is better to focus on visible interactions like replies or reposts.
