Why Follow Tracker Is The Only Safe Way To Find Instagram Unfollowers
Most Instagram unfollower apps want your login credentials. That's dangerous. Follow Tracker never asks for your password — keeping your account safe while still giving you the insights you need.
The Risks of Login-Based Apps
When you give your Instagram password to third-party apps, you're risking:
- Account bans - Instagram flags apps that violate their terms
- Data breaches - Your credentials could be stolen or sold
- Unauthorized access - Apps can post, message, or change settings without permission
- Privacy violations - Many apps sell your follower data to marketers
These tools often use unauthorized scraping methods that break Instagram's rules.
How Follow Tracker Works Differently
Follow Tracker never touches your Instagram account. Here's the process:
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Go to Account Center - Select "Information and permissions"
- Click "Export your information" - Choose "Export to device"
- Customize your export - Clear all selections, then check ONLY "Followers" and "Following"
- Set date range - Select "All time" (default is last year)
- Choose file format - Change from HTML to JSON
- Start the export - Click "Start export" and wait 5-10 minutes for the file
Or click here to download your data directly.
Upload and Analyze
- Drag and drop your ZIP file into Follow Tracker (no extraction needed)
- Get instant results within seconds
- Your follower and following lists are stored securely in our database for your analysis
Important: Make sure to select "All time" for the date range and check only "Followers" and "Following" under Connections for the fastest processing.

Follow Tracker shows you:

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this actually safer than other apps?
Yes. Since we never ask for your Instagram password, there's no way for us (or hackers) to access your account. Other apps require login, which creates security risks.
How long does the analysis take?
About 10 seconds after you upload your ZIP file. Instagram's data export takes 5-10 minutes to generate.
Can I use this on mobile?
Yes! Follow Tracker works on any device with a web browser. The process is the same — download data from Instagram, upload to Follow Tracker.
Will Instagram know I'm using this?
No. The follower analysis feature works entirely offline — you download your own data and upload it to Follow Tracker. We don't connect to Instagram's servers for this feature.
Note: Our optional Creator Insights feature does connect via Instagram's official API for advanced analytics, but that's a separate tool and completely optional.
