How to See Who Unfollowed You on Instagram: 3 Ways (No Password)
Instagram doesn’t notify you when someone unfollows you, and it keeps no list of who left. There are three ways to find out: check your follower list by hand, export your follower list with Instagram’s own data tool on two different dates and compare them, or use an app that runs that comparison for you without asking for your password. None of them can show anyone who left before your first saved list.

Instagram doesn’t show the people who don’t follow you back in one list. You can check the “Follows you” label on each profile you follow, download your follower and following lists from Instagram and compare them, or use an app that matches the two lists for you. Unlike unfollowers, this list needs no waiting: it comes from two lists read at the same moment.

No third-party follower app is approved by Instagram, so the risk is never zero. What decides how much risk you take is how the app works. The riskiest ones ask for your password in their own form, log in to your account from their own servers, or follow, unfollow and like on your behalf. When you log in on Instagram’s own page, the reading happens on your phone, and the app takes no actions, the risk drops considerably.

A follower count usually drops for one of six reasons: people unfollowed you, some followers deactivated or deleted their accounts, Instagram removed fake or spam accounts, you removed or blocked someone, bought followers were deleted, or the count simply updated late on one screen. The way to tell which it was is to look past the number to who actually left the list.
