When someone follows you on Instagram, the popular photo-sharing platform notifies you. However, it doesn’t happen when someone unfollows you. When it comes to checking who unfollowed you on Instagram, there is not one official method for it. You cannot know who unfollowed you unless you suspect some people who may have unfollowed your account.
Two methods of checking who unfollowed you on Instagram are:
- Manual Method
- Third-party app
Method 1: The Manual Method
Following is the manual method of seeing who has stopped following you:
- Go to your Instagram profile and click on Followers
- As said above, if you already have someone in mind, type their name and see if they are following you or not.
- You can also go to their profile and click on Following.
If you have a huge following on Instagram, opting for the manual method may not be the most practical thing to do. It is time-consuming and you may always not have someone in your mind who might have reason to unfollow you.
Method 2: Via Third-party Apps
A much more efficient method compared to the manual method is using third-party apps to see who has unfollowed you on Instagram. There are several apps for this purpose that you can use for free. However, these apps are not reliable or always safe to use. It is best to use apps that can track new APIs of Instagram and get you accurate results.
