Instagram is a major social network with over a billion users. The app does not show you who unfollowed you; only business accounts get some stats. There are no built-in unfollow notifications, so you only notice when your follower count drops.
If your follower count has gone down, you may want to know who left. Finding out isn't built into Instagram, but many third-party apps and sites can help. Below we look at ways to see who unfollowed you.
How to see who unfollowed on Android?
To see who unfollowed you, you need a dedicated app. There are many growth apps, but fewer that focus on follower/unfollower tracking. Here are some options for Android:
- Followers Insight for Instagram: Shows both new followers and unfollowers and helps you analyze follower behavior. Free to use with ads and in-app purchases.
- Unfollowers for Instagram: Shows users who unfollowed you in the last week. Also finds non-mutual follows and inactive accounts. Free to use.
- Follow Cop: Free app. After you log in, you can see all unfollows. It may not show the exact username in some cases, but it will notify you when someone unfollows.
How to see who unfollowed on iPhone?
On iPhone you can use dedicated apps to clean up your following list and see who unfollowed you. This can also help you avoid looking like a mass-follow account and reduce the risk of limits or blocks. Instagram has limits on how many people you can follow.
Unfollow people who unfollowed you first. Some popular iOS apps:
- FollowMeter for Instagram: Strong analytics for your Instagram profile on iPhone or iPad. Requires iOS 8.0 or later. Shows who unfollowed and other stats. Free with paid options ($0.99–$9.99).

Summary
Instagram is a unique platform for creativity and daily life. The company discourages third-party tools. If Instagram finds you use apps to analyze, unfollow, or mass-follow, you may get limited or blocked. Most unfollower apps only use public or authorized data, so they are not illegal, but use them at your own risk.
Even so, be careful with services that ask for your Instagram login. Some could misuse your data or account.
You can track unfollowers with the apps above from Google Play or App Store. Many services exist for growth, analytics, and more. Used wisely, they can help you grow your Instagram reach.
