Frequently Asked Questions
Your Instagram data export holds both lists — who you follow and who follows you — and the accounts in the first list but not the second are the ones that don't follow you back. Upload the export here and the "Not following back" filter shows them: free, with no login, and the file never leaves your browser.
The app has no screen for them, but your data export does: pending_follow_requests.json lists every request you sent that was never accepted. Upload the export here and the "Pending request" filter shows the whole list at once, with no login.
The accounts that appear in both lists of your export — following and followers — are your mutuals, computed over every row of the export rather than a sample. This works for your own account only; it cannot compare two other people's profiles.
No. Instagram doesn't provide a native unfollower list. The only safe methods are: (1) Manually checking followed accounts vs followers, or (2) Using your official data download with this tool. This tracker does method 2 for you, free: no password, no login, no account risk.
This tracker uses your official Instagram data export (ZIP file) to analyze followers locally in your browser. No login required. Parsing, filtering and search all happen on your device, and your Instagram export stays in this browser. We receive only anonymous page analytics, which you can switch off in the footer. This method is safe because it uses Instagram's official export tool, not password scraping.
Yes, if they use your official Instagram data export. Apps requiring your Instagram password violate Terms of Service and pose security risks. Safe trackers use only the ZIP file from Instagram's Data Download tool: no login, no password required. This tool uses that method exclusively.
The ZIP file contains your profile info, followers list, following list, comments, posts, messages, saved items, and more. For unfollower tracking, the key files are followers_1.json (your followers) and following.json (who you follow). The tracker uses these two files to identify unfollowers and non-mutuals.
Instagram Data Download (via Meta Accounts Center) is the official tool for exporting your account information including followers and following lists. It's the only safe, authorized way to access this data without risking your account. Apps that ask for your password violate Instagram's Terms of Service.
No. SafeUnfollow already reads both formats. HTML exports also work, but JSON is the format we read most reliably, so it's still what the guide recommends. Upload the ZIP you already have.
Yes, 100% safe. Unlike apps that ask for your password and 'scrape' data (which violates Terms of Service), this tool uses your official data export. No login required: you download the ZIP directly from Instagram, then upload it locally to your browser. We never access your account.
Meta typically sends your data within 5-30 minutes via email. Larger accounts or high server load may take up to a few hours. Once you have the ZIP, the analysis runs in your own browser rather than on a server, so there is no queue and no upload wait. Bigger exports naturally take longer to read than small ones.
This tracker handles exports of up to 1,000,000+ accounts. We use columnar storage and bitset indexing so filtering stays fast as the list grows. Whether you have 100 followers or 1,000,000, the tool stays responsive.
Yes. The analysis is 100% free: every badge, filter and account, with no signup and no limit. Most alternatives charge a monthly subscription. Here, the only thing that costs anything is exporting your filtered list as a file — a one-time unlock, never a subscription, with the price shown on the button. Viewing the list here is always free. Open-source (MIT), and your Instagram export is processed locally in your browser.
Upload your Instagram ZIP file to this tracker. The tool unpacks your follower and following lists locally in your browser, compares them, and highlights who unfollowed you. Results show unfollowers, non-mutuals, mutual followers, and more, and the comparison runs on your device rather than on a server.
SafeUnfollow uses Instagram's official data export feature (available in Meta Accounts Center) instead of your password. You download your follower data as a ZIP file directly from Instagram, then upload that file here. The app reads the JSON files inside the ZIP to compare followers vs following lists. All processing happens in your browser. No API access, no scraping, no login credentials needed.
For most users, yes. The analysis is free: no signup, no subscription, every account in your export. It needs no login (so no account ban risk), processes your export locally in your browser (maximum privacy), handles 1,000,000+ accounts (most paid apps cap at 100,000), and is open source. Exporting your filtered list as a file is a one-time unlock — paid once, not every month; everything you can see on screen stays free. Paid apps offer real-time monitoring, which requires API access, but that violates Instagram's Terms of Service and risks your account. SafeUnfollow uses the official, safe data export method.
Yes. SafeUnfollow works in any modern mobile browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox). Visit safeunfollow.app, upload your ZIP file, and read your results on the phone. You can also install it as a PWA for quick access from your home screen. Most people who use it are on a phone, and the layout is built for that first. Request your data export from the Instagram app, download the ZIP from your email, then upload it here.
