How to see who unfollowed you on Instagram (2026)
Updated 5 October 20263 min read
Instagram sends no notification when someone unfollows you, and your follower list is not sorted in a way that shows who left. The only reliable way is to compare your follower list over time.
Why you can't see it in the app
Your follower count drops, but Instagram does not say who left. Scrolling through hundreds of followers to find the missing one is practically impossible.
The reliable way: compare your followers every day
The FollowScope unfollower tracker saves your complete follower list and checks it again every day. Everyone who disappeared is listed under "Unfollowed you" with the date, and you get an email.
A change is only shown after a second check confirms it. That keeps short glitches at Instagram from showing up as fake unfollows.
Who doesn't follow you back
The tracker also compares the accounts you follow with your followers. Everyone you follow who doesn't follow you back appears in one list, so you can decide whether to keep following them.
What you need
- A public Instagram account with up to 2,000 followers
- FollowScope Premium
- No Instagram password, ever
Questions
Can you see who unfollowed you on Instagram?
Not in the app. FollowScope compares your follower list every day and shows who unfollowed you with the date.
How do I find people who don't follow me back on Instagram?
Add your public account to the FollowScope unfollower tracker. It lists everyone you follow who doesn't follow you back.
Do unfollower apps need my password?
Good ones don't. Never give your Instagram password to a third-party app; it can get your account locked.
Try it with a username
One search per day is free. No Instagram login needed.
