See who doesn't follow you back on Instagram
Upload the data file Instagram gives you about your own account, and UnfollowCheck instantly shows who isn't following you back — and whose follow requests you sent were never accepted.
Drop your Instagram data ZIP here, or click to choose it
The file Instagram emailed you (usually named instagram-….zip). Don't extract it.
🔒 100% private: your file is read right here in your browser. It is never uploaded, never stored, and we never ask for your Instagram password or login.
How it works
Three steps, about two minutes of clicking — most of the wait is Instagram preparing your file.
Request your data from Instagram
Instagram app → Settings → Accounts Centre → Your information and permissions → Download your information. Pick your account, choose “Some of your information”, tick Followers and following, and select JSON format. Full walkthrough in our guide.
Download the ZIP Instagram emails you
Instagram prepares your file and emails you a download link (this can take a few minutes or a few hours). Download the ZIP — do not extract it.
Upload it here and see the answer
Drop the ZIP into the box above. Your followers and following lists are compared instantly, on your own device: not-following-back, pending requests, and full lists.
Why people choose UnfollowCheck
🛡️ No password, ever
Apps that ask for your Instagram password can steal your account or get it banned. We never ask — the tool works entirely from your own data file.
🔒 Nothing leaves your device
The analysis runs in your browser. Your followers list is your business — it is never uploaded to a server or shared with anyone.
✉️ Pending requests included
See the follow requests you sent that were never accepted — something Instagram itself doesn't show you in one place.
Frequently asked questions
How can I see who doesn't follow me back on Instagram?
Download your Instagram data (Accounts Centre → Your information and permissions → Download your information, JSON format), then upload the ZIP here. The tool compares your followers and following lists and shows exactly who doesn't follow you back.
Is it safe? Do you need my password?
No password and no login, ever. Your file is analyzed locally in your browser and never uploaded anywhere, so your account stays completely safe.
Why does Instagram take so long to send my file?
Instagram prepares data exports on its own schedule — sometimes minutes, sometimes several hours. You'll get an email and a notification when it's ready. The file link usually stays valid for a few days.
Can I see follow requests that were never accepted?
Yes — your export includes your pending sent requests, and they're listed in the Pending Requests tab of the results.
Does this work for private accounts?
Yes. The export is generated from your own account data, so it works the same whether your account is public or private.
Is UnfollowCheck affiliated with Instagram?
No. UnfollowCheck is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Instagram or Meta.
