Instagram has recently stepped up its security measures and started suspending third-party apps that allow users to track who has unfollowed them. These apps often require users to log in with their Instagram credentials, which violates the platform's policies and puts account security at risk.
The main reason is to protect users' privacy and security. By sharing login information with third-party apps, users expose themselves to potential security breaches and misuse of their personal data. Instagram aims to ensure that the experience on its platform is safe and that terms of use are respected.
While many apps are being suspended, there are safe and policy-compliant methods to find out who has unfollowed you without risking your account:
- Instagram data download: Instagram allows users to download a JSON file with the list of their followers. By periodically comparing this file, you can identify changes in your follower list.
- No-login tools: There are tools that, without requiring your credentials, allow you to analyze your followers through downloaded data, offering a safe way to obtain this information.
- Manual analysis: Although more laborious, manually reviewing your follower list can be an option if you prefer not to use external tools.
