Warm up X (Twitter) accounts before they post
Each session reads the timeline, opens posts in your topics, likes a few and follows the occasional account. Timing and order vary per profile, so every account builds its own history.
Set it up in five steps
Step 1: Sign up and install the client
- Create a free account.
- Download the desktop client for Windows or macOS.
- Install it and sign in with your new account.
Step 2: Create your first cloud phone profile
- New profile: give it a name you will recognise, such as “X 01”.
- Proxy: assign a proxy so the profile connects from its own IP address.
- Device settings: pick the phone model and region for the profile.
- Start: confirm to launch the cloud phone.
Step 3: Install X and log in
- Open the app library: find the apps section in the client.
- Install X: add it to the profiles you plan to use.
- Open and sign in: launch X on each cloud phone and log in to the account that belongs to it.
- Keep the session: the profile remembers the login, so later runs start signed in.
Step 4: Add the “X (Twitter) account warmup” template and configure it
- Find the template: open the automation template library and search for “X (Twitter) account warmup”.
- Choose profiles: select the cloud phones the task should run on.
- Interests: keywords that describe what each account is about.
- Session length: how long each warm-up session lasts, as a range.
- Actions: which interactions are allowed during warm-up.
- Start: run it now or set a schedule, then confirm.
Step 5: Check the run reports
- Open the reports: every run is listed with its profile, start time and status.
- Filter: narrow the list by date, profile or task.
- Inspect a run: see each step, its result and any error, then adjust the settings for the next run.
Warming up new X accounts: a practical guide
Build a natural activity history before you post
A fresh X account that starts publishing on day one has nothing behind it. Warm-up gives it a history: a period of ordinary use, such as scrolling, watching content through, liking and following now and then, spread over days rather than minutes. This template runs that routine on each cloud phone profile with randomised timing and order, so your accounts do not all move in lockstep. Give every profile its own proxy, keep sessions short at first and lengthen them over the first couple of weeks before you start a regular posting schedule.

FAQ
Should the profile be complete first?
Yes. Add a photo, name and bio to each account before the warm-up starts, so the profile looks complete to the people it interacts with.
Why warm up a new X account at all?
A new account has little or no activity history. A period of normal browsing and light engagement before you publish makes it look like the account of an ordinary user, and gives you time to settle on what the account is about.
How long should a warm-up run?
There is no fixed number. Many teams start with short daily sessions for one to two weeks and lengthen them gradually. Watch how each account behaves and adjust the schedule in the template rather than running every profile the same way.
Is automating X allowed?
X sets its own rules on automated activity and on running more than one account, and those rules change over time. Read X’s current terms of service and community guidelines before you automate anything. Our templates operate the app on your cloud phones; they do not change what X permits.
