How to See Who Has Unfollowed You on Instagram

In this guide, we will show you the steps to check and see who unfollowed you on Instagram. This social media giant started as just a platform for sharing your favorite images and videos. However, since then it has undergone various massive changes and at the same time, has also added tons of new features. While some like the incorporation of Reels in the homepage raised a few eyebrows, others were welcomed with open hands.

All in all, we are seeing various bloggers, influencers, and even businesses flourishing, thanks to this Facebook-owned app. Among all of these things, the interaction level plays a crucial part. The likes you get, your followers as well as the people you follow are all a vital aspect of this app. In this regard, while it’s easy to keep track of the likes on your post or the people you are following, it’s with the followers that paint a rather blurry picture.

Instagram doesn’t natively have an option to check and see who all have unfollowed you.  So while you get a notification if someone sends you a friend request, there isn’t any notification as such if people unfollow you. However, even then there exist a few nifty tricks that will help you keep a check on the same. And in this guide, we have shared two such workarounds. Follow along and get yourself acquainted with both these tweaks.

How to See Who Unfollowed You On Instagram

The first method is the manual approach to carry out this aforementioned task, whereas the second one uses a third-party app. Both of them come with their own fair share of drawbacks and perks, as mentioned in their respective sections. So without further ado, let’s start off with the guide to check and see who unfollowed you on Instagram.

Manual Method

As is evident by its name, it requires you to manually go through your follower’s list and then check who all are missing from this list. The biggest drawback of this method is that it might be practically impossible to check who has unfollowed you if your followers run in hundreds and thousands. The plus side of this method is that you don’t need to share your account credentials with any third-party service. Anyways, to try out this method, follow the below steps:

1. Launch the Instagram app on your device.
2. Then go to your profile and tap on ‘Followers’.
3. This will bring up the list of all the people who are currently following you.
4. If you aren’t able to find the intended person, well then he/she has unfollowed you!

Along the same lines, you could also go to that user’s profile. Then go to their Following section (if you are following them or if their account is public). Now just check whether your name is present there or not. If it’s absent, then he or she has hit the Unfollowed button next to your profile! So this was the manual method to check and see who has unfollowed you on Instagram. Let’s turn our attention to the second method.

Using a Third-Party App

There are quite a few apps available for Android and iPhone devices that are capable of carrying out the said task. Well, the biggest advantage with them is they would do all the work on your behalf. In other words, they will bring up the list of all the ‘un-followers’ in just a single tap. However, they would only be able to do so when you log in to their app via your Instagram credentials. So if that’s fine with you, then here are the required steps.

1. Install the FollowMeter app on your Android or iPhone device.
2. Now launch the app and sign in with your Instagram account credentials.
3. The app will now begin analyzing your account. Once done, tap on the first option situated at the bottom left.
4. Finally, head over to the Unfollow section you will be able to get hold of the required information.

So these were the two different methods to check and see who unfollowed you on Instagram. Do let us know in the comments which one you ultimately settled for. Rounding off, here are some iPhone Tips and Tricks, PC tips and tricks, and Android Tips and Tricks that you should check out as well.
