Will someone know if I unfollow them on Instagram?

Answered by Robert Dupre

I can provide a detailed answer to your question about unfollowing someone on Instagram and whether or not they will know.

When it comes to unfollowing someone on Instagram, the process is quite simple. Once you unfollow someone, their profile will no longer show up on your feed and you won’t receive any of their updates. However, they will not be immediately notified that you have unfollowed them.

To see if someone is following you on Instagram, you can go to their profile and check under their profile picture. If it says “Follow,” it means they are not currently following you. On the other hand, if it says “Following,” it means they are indeed following you.

Now, let’s focus on the question at hand – whether someone will know if you unfollow them on Instagram. The answer is no, they will not be notified when you unfollow them. Instagram does not send any notifications or alerts to the person you have unfollowed. Therefore, you can unfollow someone without them knowing unless they actively check their followers list and notice your absence.

It’s worth mentioning that if someone is particularly invested in their follower count or frequently checks their followers, they might notice that you are no longer following them. However, Instagram does not provide any direct information or notification about who has unfollowed you.

Unfollowing someone on Instagram can be a personal decision, and there can be various reasons behind it. Maybe you no longer connect with their content, or perhaps you want to declutter your feed and focus on accounts that are more relevant to you. It’s entirely up to you and your personal preferences.

When you unfollow someone on Instagram, they will not receive any notification about it. Their profile will simply show the option to “Follow” instead of “Following.” So you can unfollow someone without worrying about them knowing unless they actively check their followers list or notice your absence.
