Hero Image
For those who care about maintaining their follower count on Instagram , it can be disheartening to notice someone unfollowing you. Whether they unfollowed you because of inactivity, lack of engagement, or personal reasons, Instagram doesn’t notify you when someone stops following. Luckily, there are simple ways to figure out who has unfollowed you. Let’s dive into how you can check who follows and unfollows you on Instagram .

1. Manually Check a User’s Following List

One way to find out if someone has unfollowed you is by manually checking their Following list. This method requires knowing whether they followed you in the first place.

Here's how to do it:

  • Start by visiting the Instagram profile of the user you suspect.
  • Use the magnifying glass icon in the toolbar at the bottom to search for their username.
  • Once on their profile, click on the “Following” number above their bio.
  • If they follow you, your account will be listed at the top.

  • If your profile is missing from their list, it means they have unfollowed you or perhaps never followed you in the first place.

    2. Checking Your Own Followers List

    You can also check if someone has unfollowed you by looking at your own Followers list.

    Here’s what you need to do:

    • Go to your Instagram profile and tap on the "Followers" count at the top of your screen.
    • In the follower list, use the search bar at the top to enter the username of the person in question.

    If their profile appears, they still follow you. However, if it says "No users found," that person has unfollowed you.

    3. Using a Third-Party App

    Another way to track who has unfollowed you is by using a third-party app like Followmeter . These apps allow you to monitor follower activity more easily, without the need for manual checks.

    To use Followmeter:

    • Download the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
    • Log in to the app with your Instagram credentials, granting it access to track your account.
    • Tap on the “Unfollowers” button, and the app will show you a list of recent unfollowers.

    Be cautious when using third-party apps, as they require access to your Instagram account and may have security or privacy implications.
