How to See Who Unfollowed You on Instagram

Instagram is all about following! The more people you follow; the more content you will be able to view. The vice versa is also true; the more people that follow you, the more your content will be seen. Using the “Following” and “Followers” counter located on your Instagram profile page, you can keep track of how many people you follow and how many follow you.

In the event someone unfollows you on Instagram, there is no direct way to know about it. However, there are a few methods that you can use to know if a specific person or people have unfollowed you. Some of these methods include using third-party analytics apps. This piece highlights how you can see who unfollowed you on Instagram.

The Manual Way: Searching your Followers list

It may be difficult to keep tabs on your exact number of followers, especially if you have thousands. If you suspect that some specific people have unfollowed you:

• Navigate to your Instagram profile and tap on Followers

• Scroll through the list of people following you, or use the search function, to find the profile name that you are suspecting of unfollowing you.

• If you find the specific name you are looking for in the list, lucky you, they haven’t unfollowed you.

• If the profile name you are looking for is not in the list, then most probably, they have unfollowed you.

You can also navigate to the Instagram profile of the person that you are suspecting of unfollowing you, and if they haven’t blocked you, you can access their Following list and search for your profile name. If you don’t find it in the list, then most probably, they have unfollowed you.
