How To Mass Unfollow Users On Instagram

If you are like me and keep pressing the “Follow” button anytime anything mildly interesting is shared by an account, then I am sure your Following list must be in thousands. And your Instagram feed must be a mess that you want to clear out now. So in this article, we will take you through a few methods, to easily and quickly mass unfollow accounts on the Instagram.

Method 1: Manually Unfollow Accounts on Instagram

Starting off with the basics. You know that you can go to your “Following” list and unfollow accounts from there. It’s the safest method without using any third-party apps.

1. On Instagram, tap on your profile icon in the top right corner.
2. Inside your profile page, tap on your following count.
3. Then tap on the Following option next to the person you wish to unfollow.

They will be instantly unfollowed and removed from your list. However, if you see a Message option next to their name, then tap on the 3-dots icon next to an account’s name, and select Unfollow.

This way, you can unfollow someone without visiting their account. Repeat it till you have removed every unnecessary people from your following list.

Method 2: Mass Unfollow Least Interacted Users

Alternatively, if you want to unfollow those whom you don’t interact with at all, then there’s a simpler way to remove them. Just remember not to go on an unfollowing spree because removing a lot of users quickly can get your account shadowbanned or removed. Keep it to about 10 accounts per hour. With that said, here’s how you unfollow someone.

1. Head over to the Following list on your Instagram profile and, select Least interacted with under “Categories”.
2. Here, hit the Following button next to every user you want to unfollow.
3. In one tap, you’ll be able to unfollow an account. So, this makes it easier for you unfollow multiple accounts easily.

Method 3: Mass Unfollow Flagged for Review Accounts

If you suspect that specific accounts you follow are engaging in suspicious behavior, or are not genuine, then don’t worry. Instagram automatically puts such profiles under “Flagged for review”. Using this category, you can unfollow several accounts, as well as remove such people who follow you on the app at once. Here is how you can do it.

1. Tap on the profile icon on the bottom right corner of the Instagram app.
2. On your profile page, tap on Followers.
3. Here, select Flagged for review under “Categories”.
4. On the next screen, tap on Remove all at the top.
5. Now, select Remove from the confirmation prompt that shows up.

This will remove all such accounts from your Followers as well as the Following list.

Method 4: Use a Third-Party App on Android

We don’t recommend the use of third-party services, as they can take over your account, and get it banned. However, if you have a large following list and need a quick way to get rid of them then the Unfollow Users app on Android can help you batch unfollow accounts to clear the list quickly. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find a trustworthy app on the Apple App Store; so you’re out of luck if you use an iPhone.

1. Download the Unfollow Users app, and then sign in to it with your Instagram account.
2. Once signed in, tap on the Unfollow button.
3. It will automatically clear 10 accounts from your Following list.

However, one limitation of this app is that you cannot select which accounts to remove. It will automatically do it.

If your feed is full of people whom you don’t wish to follow anymore, individually selecting each one can be a very tedious task. As such, the aforementioned methods should come in handy to help you easily mass-unfollow users on your Instagram.
