See Who a Public Instagram Profile Unfollowed
This page is about other profiles, not your own unfollowers. SpySecret's unfollow check compares the following list of a public Instagram profile with the list it saved earlier and shows which accounts that profile no longer follows. It is part of Pro, you start it by hand, and it becomes useful from the second day, once there is a saved list to compare against.
Last updated:
Enter a public username. The first scan saves the following list that later unfollow checks compare against.
Start free scanThis shows whom another profile unfollowed, not your own unfollowers
Most people who look for an unfollow tracker want to know who stopped following them. SpySecret does not do that: it never reads your own follower list and cannot produce a list of your unfollowers. What it does is narrower. You pick a public profile, and the check tells you which accounts that profile has stopped following since its list was saved.
That helps when you follow how the network of a public figure, a creator or a club you care about changes, for example which accounts they no longer follow. If a profile you track stops following you, your username shows up in its results too, but only account by account, for profiles you have added.
How the unfollow check works
The first scan of a public profile saves its following list. An unfollow check later loads the current list and compares the two. Accounts that were on the saved list and are missing now are shown as unfollowed.
- Add the public profile by username. No Instagram account or password needed.
- Wait at least a day. A check on the day of the first scan rarely finds anything.
- Start the unfollow check on the profile page and see which accounts dropped off.
- Check again another day. Each check compares against the newest saved list.
What the time next to a result means
Each result shows when the check noticed it. The unfollow happened somewhere between the previous saved state and that check; Instagram does not publish the moment. Check daily and you know the day.
Limits of the unfollow check
We'd rather you know these before you pay:
- Pro only. Basic tracks new follows and new followers, not unfollows.
- Manual. The check runs when you start it. SpySecret has no alert feature.
- Two checks per profile per day in the current version.
- Up to 1,500 follows. Above that the check is not available; new follows and followers are still tracked.
- Public profiles only. If a profile turns private, there is nothing to compare until it is public again.
- No history. Unfollows from before the first saved list are not visible.
- Deleted accounts look like unfollows. A deactivated account also vanishes from the list, so open it before reading much into one result.
Looking for your own unfollowers instead?
Instagram does not notify you when someone unfollows you and has no list of lost followers. Without handing your password to an app, you can compare your follower list over time or download your information from Accounts Center twice and compare the follower files. Our guide How to see who unfollowed you on Instagram walks through both.
Be careful with apps that want your Instagram login for this: sharing your password puts your account at risk.

Frequently asked questions
Can I see who unfollowed me with SpySecret?
No. SpySecret does not read your own follower list and cannot list your unfollowers. It shows which accounts a public profile you track has stopped following. If a tracked account stops following you, your username appears in its results, but only for that account.
Does Instagram notify someone when they are unfollowed?
No. Instagram sends no notification when anyone is unfollowed, and SpySecret does not notify anyone either.
How often can I run an unfollow check?
In the current Pro plan, up to two checks per tracked profile per day. Checks are manual; SpySecret does not run them in the background and has no alert feature.
Does it work for accounts that follow thousands of people?
Up to 1,500 followed accounts. Above that the unfollow check is not available for the profile, while its new follows and followers are still tracked.
Why didn't my first check find anything?
It compares against the list saved when you added the profile. If little time has passed, there is nothing to report yet.
