Want to know who's been taking up space in your following list without returning the favour? Instagram doesn't show you this natively — but there's a simple, private way to find out without downloading any sketchy app or handing over your login credentials.
Upload your Instagram data export and instantly see who doesn't follow you back, your mutuals, and fans — 100% private, runs in your browser.
Check my followers →Instagram deliberately hides follower/following comparisons. They want you spending time on the app, and knowing exactly who to unfollow would make that session shorter. There's no built-in "not following back" filter anywhere in the app.
Third-party apps used to fill this gap — but in 2019 Instagram shut down API access for follower data, killing most of them. The ones that still exist typically ask for your username and password, which is a serious security risk.
Instagram lets you download a complete copy of your own data — including your full followers and following lists — directly from the app. This is the official, safe method that requires no third-party login.
💡 Tip: Make sure you select JSON format, not HTML. The HTML version doesn't contain the structured data needed for analysis.
Once you have your ZIP file, head to igaudit.app and upload it — no extraction needed, just the raw ZIP. The tool runs entirely in your browser so your data never leaves your device.
Within seconds you'll see three lists:
Once you can see who doesn't follow you back, you can decide who to unfollow. IG Audit lets you check off each person as you remove them — with a satisfying pink strikethrough so you can track your progress.
The tool also automatically scans for deactivated accounts — profiles that no longer exist. These are worth removing first since they'll never follow you back.
⚠️ Note: Don't unfollow hundreds of people at once — Instagram may temporarily restrict your account. Pace yourself to around 50–60 unfollows per day.
Yes. IG Audit never asks for your Instagram username or password. Everything runs locally in your browser using only your downloaded data export. Your information never touches any server.
Most people find it useful to check every 3–6 months. You can re-export your Instagram data at any time and upload the new ZIP for a fresh analysis.
No. The tool only reads your downloaded data file — it makes no connection to Instagram's servers and leaves no trace on your account.
Export your Instagram data, upload the ZIP, and find out who's ghosting you in under a minute.
