Who Doesn’t Follow Me Back on Instagram App

Last Updated on January 9, 2026 by Ethan

So you want an app that shows who doesn’t follow you back. Makes sense. Instagram won’t tell you, and checking profiles one by one? Nobody has time for that.

The problem is that most apps will get your account banned. I’m not exaggerating.

I’ve been in Instagram marketing for years now. Seen too many people lose accounts because they downloaded some random follower tracker from the App Store. It’s always the same story: works great for two weeks, then boom. Account restricted. Or worse, gone completely.

Anyway. Let me tell you what actually works.

Most Follower Apps Are Basically Traps

Search “Instagram followers app,” and you’ll find tons of options. Followers+, InstaTracker, FollowMeter, whatever. They promise instant results. Super easy. Just log in and see everything.

That’s the trap.

When you give these apps your password, they log into Instagram as you. Instagram notices. Their security system flags it immediately because third-party logins violate the terms of service. And then?

Action blocks. Shadow bans. Full account suspension.

A friend of mine lost her account last year. 12,000 followers, years of content. Used one of these apps for maybe three weeks. Just wanted to clean up her following list. Instagram disabled her account with zero warning. She appealed. Got denied. That was it.

All because she wanted to see who didn’t follow her back.

⚠️ Quick reality check: Instagram has been way more aggressive about this since 2024. They’re actively detecting third-party logins now. Not worth the risk.

Safe Apps vs Dangerous Apps

Here’s how to tell the difference. It’s actually pretty simple.

Does the app ask for your Instagram password? If yes, don’t use it. Doesn’t matter how many downloads it has or how good the reviews look. If they want your password, your account is at risk.

Safe apps work differently. They either use Instagram’s official data export (which you download yourself from Instagram settings) or they track publicly available information that anyone can see.

Slower? Yeah. But your account stays intact.

For all the different methods you can use, I wrote a longer guide on how to see who doesn’t follow you back on Instagram. Covers manual checking, data exports, everything.

How UnfollowGram Works

We built UnfollowGram because we were tired of seeing people get burned by sketchy apps. The whole point was to make something that works without putting your account at risk.

No password. Ever. That’s non-negotiable for us.

The app tracks public Instagram data. You add usernames, it checks the publicly available follower information, and compares lists over time. Simple as that.

What you get:

• Non-followers (people you follow who don’t follow back)
• Unfollowers (people who stopped following you recently)
• New followers
• Mutual follows

Is it as instant as apps that log in to your account? No. Takes a bit more patience. But that’s the tradeoff for keeping your account safe, and honestly, it’s worth it.

Getting Started Takes Like 2 Minutes

Download UnfollowGram from the App Store. Add your username. Wait for the scan. Check your list.

That’s it. No complicated setup.

First scan takes a bit longer. After that, it’s quick. And the app tracks changes between checks, so you’ll catch unfollowers over time. The more often you check, the more accurate the unfollower detection gets.

💡 Tip: Run checks weekly if you want good unfollower tracking. Monthly isn’t enough to catch everyone.

What Happens After You Find Your Non-Followers

Okay, so the app shows you 400 people who don’t follow back. Now what?

Whatever you do, don’t unfollow them all at once.

Instagram has limits. Go too fast, and you’ll get action blocked. Seen it happen plenty of times. Someone finds their non-followers, gets excited, and unfollows 200 people in an hour. Next thing they know, they can’t follow or unfollow anyone for a week.

Spread it out. Maybe 20-30 per day max. There’s a full breakdown in the mass unfollow guide if you want the details.

And be smart about who you actually unfollow:

• Inactive accounts and bots? Remove them.
• Random people from your follow-for-follow phase in 2019? Gone.
• Are accounts in your niche posting good content? Maybe keep those even if they don’t follow back.

Your ratio matters. Following 2,000 people with 300 followers looks desperate. Cleaning it up helps.

Questions People Ask

Will this get my account banned?

Nope. UnfollowGram doesn’t log into your account. Doesn’t ask for your password. Only uses public data. Zero risk.

Can I see WHO unfollowed me, not just non-followers?

Yes. But it takes time. The app compares your follower list between checks. Someone following you last Tuesday but not today shows up as an unfollower. More on this in the who unfollowed me section.

What about private accounts?

Limited data. If someone’s profile is private and they haven’t accepted your follow request, there’s not much any app can show you. That’s an Instagram limitation, not an app limitation.

Is there an Android version?

Right now it’s iOS. But the web version works on any device.

Free or paid?

Both. Free tier handles basic tracking. Premium adds faster updates and more accounts. Start free, upgrade if you actually use it enough.

Look, Here’s the Thing

You want to know who doesn’t follow you back. Totally reasonable. But don’t sacrifice your account for it.

The apps that promise instant results by logging into your account? Risky. I’ve seen too many people learn this the hard way.

UnfollowGram is slower. I’ll be honest about that. But it works, and you keep your account. That’s the whole point.
