Why are my twitter likes not showing up
Short answer: Twitter is not showing likes mainly because of server issue, issue in loading the Twitter page or that your Twitter account has been put into archive.
Twitter likes usually show right below the tweet. There could be a lot of reasons for why it is not showing next to your or someone else’s tweet. The following title lists the possible causes for this issue:
Reason 1- Lagging or server down condition
One of the most common reasons one would face when Twitter likes are not showing is that the server might be down. This would result in multiple issues such as Tweets not loading, or the pictures failing to load, along with being logged out etc.
Twitter may even stop working completely for the time. In all these scenarios, Twitter likes not showing could be common.
Reason 2- Poor internet connection
Sometimes internet connection can cause the Twitter feeds to load improperly. In such cases there would be delay or failure or like visibility, among other issues.
Poor internet connection may also prevent you from loading the appropriate amount of likes, or letting you like a tweet.
Reason 3- Your account has been archived
This usually happens when you have not used your account for quite a bit of time, probably months or years. Twitter, in this case, puts your account into archive to save up active user’s space and server functionality.
This results in inappropriate loading of content, likes, retweet and media data in your Twitter account.
Reason 4- Unverified suspicious account
You are most likely to face this issue if your Twitter account is flagged as suspicious, and you have not yet confirmed your identity. You would be able to browse through tweets in general, but unable to retweet, like or save them.
Suspicious activity is when a new user interacts with a lot of new accounts, making it seem like a bot. This could also happen if certain kind of tweets are followed way too much, as in NSFW or too much aggressively political content.
