How to Delete All Your Followers on Instagram!

Want to clean up your Instagram followers? Feeling overwhelmed? Let’s clean things up! Noticed a bunch of random accounts following you on Instagram? It happens when your profile’s public, letting anyone follow without permission. This can lead to a crowd of unfamiliar faces in your following list.  

In this guide, we’ll walk you through a few ways to remove unwanted people from your Instagram follower list so that you don’t see a swarm of unfamiliar faces following you.

If you have set your Instagram profile to public, anyone can follow you without sending a follow request. Because of this, you may notice that many random accounts you don’t know are following you. Make sure to make your Instagram account private to avoid this from happening.

Can You Remove All Instagram Followers in One Go?

No. Instagram doesn’t offer any feature that allows you to bulk remove or unfollow all the followers and start fresh. You may want to delete the account and restart with a new one if it’s too much.

How to Remove Instagram Accounts You Don’t Follow From Followers List

Instagram makes it easier to identify the people you don’t follow with the native categories option. You can use this feature to find accounts you don’t follow and remove them from your follower list. 

Here’s how you can find accounts that follow you, but you don’t follow them on Instagram:

  1. Open the Instagram app on your phone and head to your profile section. 
  2. Tap on the Followers option.

If you don’t want to go through all this hassle, consider hiding your followers and following list on Instagram.

How to Remove Instagram Followers You Least Interact With

Similarly, Instagram allows you to check the list of people you least interacted with and remove them from your follower list. 

  1. Open the Instagram app on your phone and head to your profile section.

These categories sometimes may not appear when you want, and it may take multiple attempts to see them finally. 

Why You Should Avoid Using Third-Party Apps to Remove Instagram Followers

There is no official method to remove multiple accounts from your Instagram follower list. Many third-party apps and websites will claim to remove accounts from your Instagram follower list. 

However, before using such apps or services, note that Instagram takes its privacy and terms of usage policy seriously. Using these third-party apps and tools is against Instagram’s guidelines. The platform can delete your account permanently if they catch you using such services. 

Besides, these services require you to log into your Instagram account on their portal, which means they can access your account without your concern. One of our members at TechJunkie lost their account to one such service. 

We suggest you avoid using any third-party apps to get rid of your Instagram followers.
