How To See Who I Unfollowed On Instagram

Your Quick Answer: 

To see who you unfollowed on Instagram, go to your profile and open the ‘Followers’ list. Scroll down the list and find the people you are not following. You can follow them again from there.

You can also check the number of likes of your posts to go to your profile and open any of your posts.

Now check the list of likes; from there, you can recognize that the people you are now following are at the bottom of the list. So, from that, you can determine who you unfollowed.

You can also use third-party apps like ‘Followmeter for Instagram‘, ‘Followers & Unfollowers‘, ‘Followers – Unfollowers‘, etc. It usually gathers information about your account in a single place.

You can check the ‘Follow Back’ and ‘You Are Not Following Back’ types of options to determine the people that you are not following.

Fundamentally, the list is arranged so that the person you are following will be at the top of the list, and, on the other hand, the people you’re not following will be at the bottom of the list. So scroll down the list, and among the people, you are not following, find the person. You can also follow them again by clicking on the ‘follow’ option. 

3. Use a third-party app

Instagram has cracked down on its API due to privacy, which means that third-party app developers have a limit on how they can access user followers. However, there are still some good tools that can monitor loss and gain followers, and if you have unfollowed, it will show under the followers’ loss or on a similar option.
