Someone unfollowed you on Instagram? Here’s how you can check it

Instagram is undoubtedly one of the most popular social media platforms. It offers certain privacy features that are similar to other social media platforms. For instance, when you follow someone on Instagram, the app informs the user about it, but it doesn't notify you if they decide to unfollow you.

Although it's generally not possible to be notified when someone unfollows you, there are ways to determine if someone is no longer following your account. Here’s how to check it.

Check your Followers list

To do this, open Instagram and tap on your profile picture located at the bottom right of the screen. Then, select the "Followers" option. Next, use the Search bar to enter the user's name or manually scroll through the list to find them. If their account appears in the list, it means they are still following you. If you can't find their account in the list, it indicates that they are not following you.

Check the Following list of another user's profile

Start by tapping on the magnifying glass search icon. Then, search for the person's username using the Search bar and select their profile. Once you're on their profile, tap on the "Following" option. Finally, search for your name or username in the list or manually scroll through it. If you find your account in their Following list, it means they are still following you.

Tip: If you can't locate a user's account in either your Followers list or another user's Following list, it's possible that they have blocked you or deleted their account. Additionally, ensure that you've spelled their username correctly when conducting the search.
