How to unfollow people on Instagram quickly

To quickly unfollow people on Instagram, you can use the “Least engagement with” feature in your follow list.

Instagram recently released a tab called “Least Engaged With” and you can use it to quickly unfollow people on Instagram without blocking action.

The best way to unfollow people on Instagram quickly is to use the “Least Engaged With” filter.

The “Least Engagement” tab is a filter that shows the accounts with which you’ve interacted the least (e.g., liked, commented) in the past 90 days.

On the other hand, the “Most Displayed in Feed” tab is the filter that shows the accounts that have posted most often.

You can access these features by navigating to your profile > following > Least Engagement/Most Visible in feed.

Basically, the “Least Engagement” tab shows you who you should unfollow (based on your low engagement with them).

Therefore, if you use this feature on Instagram, they will be less strict on the actions you are taking (unfollow).

This is because Instagram wants you to know the people you interact with the least and unfollow them.

So, if you want to unfollow in bulk or unfollow people quickly, you’ll want to use this “Least Engaged With” list to do so.

Just go down the list and find the people you don’t want to follow anymore and unfollow them one by one.

How to use the “Least interaction” feature

The “Least Engaged” list is the best way to unfollow people on Instagram quickly.

There are 50 users on the “Least Engaged With” list.

What you want to do is unfollow people on this list instead of your watchlist.

This is because the feature is relatively new to Instagram (released in early 2020) and they are more permissive in terms of how many actions you can take from the feature.

I’ve tried unfollowing 50 people on this list with an alternate account, and I haven’t been blocked from any action ⁠— so your account is safe!

Here’s how you can effectively unfollow people using this method.

Just drag the “Last interacted with” list, go down the list and unfollow the people in it.

Then unfollow everyone (or selected people) until you reach the bottom of the list.

Then you’ll want to go back to your watchlist and pull down to refresh.

This will refresh the “Least Engaged With” list, and you can unfollow people from there again.

Repeat this process 4 times (in one hour intervals).

Once you have repeated the process 4 times, it is important to wait 24 hours to do it again! Otherwise, your account may be blocked due to the unfollow limit being reached.

At this rate, you can unfollow 200 people per day using this method without being blocked from action.

Why don’t I have the “Least interaction with” feature?

Some people don’t have the “Least Engaged With” feature on their accounts.

If you don’t have this feature, it’s possible that Instagram hasn’t released it for you yet.

The “Least Engaged With” feature is rolling out this feature to only a few people.

Since the feature is relatively new (as of early 2020), Instagram is still testing the feature on some people, but not everyone.

How to unfollow people who don’t have the “Least Engagement” feature

If you don’t have the ‘Least interactive’ feature, you can use the ‘Sort by’ feature instead.

You can filter it by tracking newest or earliest.

Just navigate to your profile > tracking > Sort by > Tracking Date: Early/Latest.

If you’re using a follow/unfollow strategy (I don’t recommend it), you can use the ‘Latest Followed’ filter to unfollow a select number of people.

Alternatively, you can use the earliest filter to find the earliest unfollowers (if you don’t want their content to show up on your feed anymore).

However, you cannot unfollow a user more than once using this filter unlike the “Least Engaged With” feature or you will be blocked from action.

This is because the Sort by feature is not new compared to the “Least interaction with” feature.

This means you can’t abuse the Sort By feature to unfollow people since it’s directly from your watch list.

So if you’re unfollowing people using Sort By, only unfollow up to five users in a 5 to 10 minute period.

Also, make sure to use Instagram normally after unfollowing a lot of people (e.g. liking your feed posts).

This will not only increase your “trust score” but also keep your account from being blocked from acting because you are acting like a human.

Limit unfollow on Instagram

Your unfollow limit on Instagram depends on your “trust score”.

The maximum number of people you should unfollow in a day is 200 users.

As a general rule, you shouldn’t unfollow more than 200 users per day or you’ll be locked out of action.

However, if your trust score is high, you can unfollow up to 500 people a day with no problem.

But that doesn’t mean you should unfollow 500 people a day. If you do, your trust score will be negatively affected.

For example, if you haven’t engaged in any follow/unfollow for a long time and one day you decide to unfollow hundreds of users, Instagram will think you’re using the automation capabilities.

So don’t exceed the unfollow limit or your account will be locked.

Action blocks can last for several hours, a day, or more, which will thwart your unfollow attempts.

Another thing to keep in mind is that whenever you unfollow a user, you want to make sure that you are using the mobile app and not the desktop app.

This is because the desktop version of Instagram is more likely to contain scripts than the mobile app.

So if you are performing actions (e.g. follow, unfollow) on the desktop version of Instagram, you will have a lower ‘trust score’.

When you are using your phone you can perform more actions because it is difficult to script on the actual Instagram app so Instagram is more relaxed on their restrictions there.

Why does Instagram block you from unfollowing multiple people?

Wondering why Instagram blocks you from unfollowing multiple people?

Please note that if you happen to be blocked from unfollowing, Instagram will also block you from following.

This is because followers and unfollows belong to the same category.

Here are the reasons why action is blocked and your watchlist disabled if you unfollow too many people.

To prevent automation

Instagram is trying to prevent automation from happening on their platform.

You should not use any software or automation to follow/unfollow people.

If you use automation, your account will be blocked from action. There are many people who have had their accounts locked due to the use of automation.

In addition, you may have your account disabled (permanently banned) from Instagram.

So if you’re trying to grow your Instagram account or follow a lot of people, don’t use automation.

However, if you’re using a reliable tool to post to Instagram, that’s perfectly fine.

There are many tools that are trusted by Instagram like Later, Buffer and Hootsuite.

The primary tools for scheduling Instagram posts are very safe to use.

There won’t be any problems regarding these tools if they are Instagram/Facebook partners.

To check if a certain tool is an Instagram/Facebook partner, simply go to the Facebook Partner Directory and search for the name of the company.

If the company appears on search results in the directory, their software/tool ​​is safe to use.

However, if the company doesn’t show up in the search results then you’ll want to defer using their software/tool.

If you are using an automated tool like Jarvee that is not a Facebook/Instagram partner, your account is at risk.

Automated tools like Jarvee no longer work (as they used to) as Instagram’s algorithm gets better and better at detecting automations (e.g. likes, comments).

Even if you use it to schedule posts, Instagram may know that it comes from an unreliable source and you will be blocked from action.

Therefore, you should always use reliable tools by checking if they are a Facebook/Instagram partner.

Minimize spam

Another reason why Instagram blocks you from unfollowing a lot of people is to minimize spam on their platform.

They want to limit the amount of action you’re taking.

For example, if you unfollow a lot of people at once and you don’t do it in a human-like way, Instagram might think you’re a bot and block you.

Conclusion

The best way to fast unfollow/bulk unfollow/bulk unfollow is to use the “Least engagement with” feature.

This feature allows you to unfollow users without being blocked from action as the feature is still being tested.

If you don’t have this feature, it’s because Instagram is only available to some people.

So you’ll either have to wait until the feature is released to you, or unfollow people at a much slower rate to avoid being blocked from action.
