Here’s how to find out who has unfollowed you on social media

From Instagram to Twitter, work out who has hidden your profile from their feeds…

In the modern world, virtual likes and Instagram follows mean a great deal, and losing them is the ultimate insult – a real slap in the face, especially if it’s a friend who has done the unfollowing.

Unfortunately, it’s a complicated process to find out who has virtually ‘defriended’ you, with some people checking if their friends are still following them one by one, often going to the great lengths of scrolling through their friends’ ‘following’ sections to find their name. It takes forever – especially considering it’s currently all the rage to follow accounts in their thousands.

The good news is that there’s a much easier way, with numerous apps emerging to check who has unfollowed you on social media platforms, including Instagram and Twitter.
