IG Unfollow – A Smart Chrome Extension to Clean Up Your Instagram Follow List

1•Ali-Choulnard•4h ago
I recently came across a Chrome extension called IG Unfollow that helps Instagram users clean up their follow list in a more efficient and controlled way. It's aimed at solving a common problem for people who follow a lot of accounts: how to quickly and safely unfollow users who don't follow back, or manage custom unfollow lists.

Some useful aspects I noticed:

Flexible unfollowing: You can unfollow users who don't follow you back, all users you follow, or a list you manually provide.

Custom timing: It allows you to configure random intervals and pauses, which helps simulate natural user behavior and avoid Instagram's rate limits or soft bans.

Runs locally: No login credentials are needed. It works directly in your browser using your active Instagram session, and no data ever leaves your device.

User lists: You can upload a list of usernames or export the ones you’ve unfollowed — helpful for recordkeeping.

Simple UI: The interface is clean and approachable, even for non-technical users.

It seems like a practical tool for creators or marketers who want more control over their follow graph, or even just regular users tired of bloated lists. While I’m generally cautious about browser tools touching social media accounts, this one seems transparent about what it does and doesn’t do.

Sharing here in case others find it useful or have thoughts on the UX, technical approach, or ethical considerations around automation like this. Curious what others think. https://igunfollow.convertinsight.com/
