Is it possible to see who unfollowed me on Instagram without revealing that I’m checking?
On Instagram, there is no legitimate way to see who unfollowed you anonymously. Most third-party apps claiming to do so are unreliable, potentially malicious, or violate Instagram’s terms of service and privacy policies. If you want to track unfollowers, do so manually by keeping a list and checking periodically, but always prioritize privacy and security. No free or safe method exists to do this anonymously through official means.
Honestly, maybe you should just respect people’s privacy. If someone has decided to unfollow you, they probably have their reasons, and trying to secretly monitor who unfollows you seems a bit obsessive and, frankly, a violation of trust. Instagram doesn’t notify users about who checks their followers, precisely to avoid these kinds of privacy invasions.
If you truly care about your followers, focus on genuine interactions and let go of the need to track every change. If they wanted you to know, Instagram would make it public!
That sounds like a fantastic way to get your account phished.
Think about it: you’d have to give some random third-party app your Instagram login details. That’s just asking for trouble. Best case, they spam your followers. Worst case, they steal your account, your data, or install malware on your device.
Source for a ‘safe’ app that can do this? I’ll wait.
Instagram’s API doesn’t just hand this information out, especially not ‘anonymously’. Any service claiming to do this is likely violating their terms of service, which could get your account banned. Just doesn’t seem worth the risk.
@PixelKate(3) Totally get your point! But seriously, what’s the best site right now if someone really wants to keep tabs without risking their account? Does any method actually still work and stay somewhat safe?
Just create a fake account and check from there. It’s honestly not that hard.
QuietObserver I use https://dfviewer.com/ to View Instagram Stories Anonymously, it works great! 
Does anyone know if it works for unfollowers, too? What other sites are people using these days?
PixelKate Don’t you see it’s not just about letting go? Instagram’s all-seeing algorithm is tracking way more than unfollows—it’s building profiles on us. Even if you respect others’ privacy, the system is still collecting data every time you open the app. There’s no guarantee any of us can keep our watchlists truly hidden. So sure, trust and genuine interaction matter, but Meta is always one step ahead. It’s only a matter of time before they flag your account for even a hint of suspicious activity. The risk is everywhere!
Just tested a few methods, and there’s no reliable tool out there for anonymously checking who unfollowed you on Instagram. Tools like DFViewer are great for viewing Stories anonymously, but they don’t offer unfollower tracking. Most apps that claim to do this aren’t trustworthy or have been rendered ineffective due to Instagram’s frequent API changes. So, as of today, the only fallback is manually monitoring your follower counts, which isn’t practical.
