Instagram doesn’t send notifications when someone stops following you, but business accounts have tools to track changes in follower numbers. However, you still can’t see exactly who unfollowed you.
If you want to find out who unfollowed you, you’ll need to manually check your follower list. This is doable if your follower count is under a few hundred. Start by logging into your Instagram account on the app or website, and navigate to the “Followers” section to look for specific people. Using the search bar to enter a username can make this process easier.
For larger accounts, manual tracking becomes impractical, so third-party apps can be helpful. These apps offer more functionality than Instagram itself but require you to log in with your Instagram credentials, which can pose security risks. Such activity might also trigger Instagram’s security protocols and result in a blocked account. Before downloading any app, ensure you’ve enabled two-factor authentication for added security.
There are many mobile apps available that can help track unfollowers. Often, they offer free trials, after which you may have to pay for full access. You need to log into these apps with your Instagram credentials to start tracking who unfollowed you. Some apps notify you of new followers and help manage non-reciprocal followings.
For example, Follow Cop lets you track unfollowers and manage non-reciprocal followings on Android, although it does not reveal specific usernames. Followers Insight for Instagram offers similar features but is hampered by lots of ads. Followmeter, available on both Android and iOS, helps promote your account by tracking user activity, identifying non-reciprocal followers, and understanding unfollower patterns. Unfollowers for Instagram, another free Android app, tracks unfollowers and helps manage inactive followers.
Online services are an alternative way to track who unfollowed you without installing apps. These services work directly from your web browser. After registering and linking your Instagram account, you can view detailed analytics.
Insta Plus offers automated Instagram management with a 5-day trial period and requires a paid subscription afterward. Friend or Follow allows you to track followers and unfollowers across several social networks for a fee. Crowdfire offers both free and paid subscription tiers and provides additional features like sorting followers and identifying recent interactions.
With these tools, you can efficiently keep track of your followers and better manage your Instagram account.
