But there is more to it; I will also answer some questions you might have regarding this in the end. So, get ready to accompany me on this journey.
Methods on How to See Who I Unfollowed On Instagram
If this is your first time trying to find who you unfollowed on Instagram and you are unsure how to do this, follow the simple step-by-step methods explained below to perform this task without difficulty.
Method #1: Check Your Followers List
The first thing you can do to see who you unfollowed on Instagram is check your followers list.
It’s because, generally, the people you follow on Instagram also follow you back, so viewing your follower list will help you figure out which of your followers you are not following at the moment.
Let me take you through all the steps you need to take for this.
Step #1: Go to Your Instagram Profile
Log in to your Instagram account. Tap the “Profile” icon at the bottom right corner of the screen to go to your Instagram profile.
Step #2: Open the Followers List
On your Instagram profile, tap the “Followers” option at the top. You will see a number above Followers showing the number of people following your account.
Step #3: Find the Unfollowed Account
Once the followers list opens up before you, scroll up and down on it to see the person you have unfollowed. Look for the “Follow” option next to the person’s username.
Tip: To follow the person you had previously unfollowed, tap the “Follow” button. Check out this guide if you are curious about your sent follow requests.
Note: This method can work on both iOS and Android devices. As I own an iPhone, it was feasible for me to share screenshots taken from one. However, you can use the above method to find who you unfollowed on Instagram, even on Android.
Method #2: Check Your Posts for Likes and Comments
Another thing you can do to find out who you unfollowed on Instagram is check your posts for likes and comments. You might find the person you unfollowed while browsing the likes and comments on your previous posts.
Here is how you can do this:
Step #1: Go to Your Instagram Profile
Start by ensuring that you have logged in to the right Instagram account. Now, tap the “Profile” icon at the bottom-right corner to open your Instagram Profile.
Step #2: Open your Instagram Feed
Once you have reached your Instagram feed, tap the “grid” icon at the top to go to your Instagram feed.
You can now see all your Instagram posts.
Step #3: See Likes and Comments
Start browsing through all your Instagram posts one by one to see the likes and comments on them.
Step #4: Go to the Bottom of the Likes List
To see all the users you are not following on Instagram, scroll down to the bottom of the likes list.
If you happen to find a profile you were supposedly following but is at the bottom, i.e., in not followed accounts, tap the “Follow” option next to them to follow them once again.
Note: If you can’t find the person you have unfollowed in the likes list of your Instagram posts, try checking the posts you have hidden on Instagram.
Method #3: Use Third-Party Applications
If none of the above methods have helped you find the person you have accidentally unfollowed on your Instagram account, you can use a third-party app to figure it out.
Some third-party apps for this purpose include FollowMeter for Instagram and Reports+ Followers Unfollowers.
I used the FollowMeter for Instagram app to see who I unfollowed on Instagram below. Continue reading to find out how it worked for me.
Step #1: Go to the App
Navigate to the FollowMeter for Instagram app on your device. Ensure you are logged in to the app through your Instagram account credentials.
Step #2: Refresh the App
Once you are in the app, tap the “Refresh” button at the upper right corner of the screen.
Step #3: Go to “You Unfollowed”
When the app’s home page refreshes, find and tap the “You Unfollowed” button. You will now see a list of all the people you have unfollowed on Instagram.
