How to Bulk Unfollow Everyone on Instagram

Your Instagram following can grow fast, from people you followed on a whim to accounts that made sense years ago but no longer do. Over time, your following list can fill up with inactive profiles, people you no longer recognize, or accounts that no longer reflect your interests. Trimming it back can help you feel more intentional, refreshed, and in control of your Instagram experience.

Reviewing or unfollowing accounts one by one is slow and frustrating. That is where Redact comes in. Redact makes unfollowing accounts in bulk – you can even unfollow everyone that doesn’t follow you back.

Note – to delete Instagram Following with Redact, you need a Premium subscription. You can try Redact for free on Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, and Discord.

Why Clean Up Your Followed Accounts on Instagram?

Your Instagram following is public, and it can stick around much longer than you realize. Accounts you followed years ago, people you no longer talk to, or profiles that no longer fit your interests do not automatically disappear. While some connections still make sense, others can feel like leftovers from an older version of you.

Here are some common reasons people choose to clean up their Instagram following:

• Accounts they no longer recognize or interact with
• Inactive or abandoned profiles
• People tied to phases of life they have moved on from
• Accounts that no longer match their interests or values
• Following lists that feel cluttered or overwhelming

As you grow and change, your following list may stop reflecting who you are now. Cleaning it up can be a simple way to feel more intentional, refreshed, and in control of your Instagram presence.

How to Bulk Unfollow Accounts on Instagram

Redact helps you clean up your Instagram following on your own terms. Instead of scrolling through long lists of accounts or second-guessing who to unfollow, you can let Redact do the heavy lifting. Just sign in, connect your Instagram account, and follow these steps:

1. Download Redact.dev

Go to Redact.dev and download the app for Windows or macOS. Create an account for free.

2. Connect Your Instagram Account

Once you start Redact.dev and log in, choose Instagram from the list of supported platforms.

You’ll be prompted to log in through Instagram. Your login details are never seen or stored by Redact. They’re sent directly from your device to Instagram, just like a saved login in your browser. Everything stays local to your device.

3. Choose ‘People You Follow’ as the Content Type

After logging in, swap to the Advanced Form on the Instagram deletion page.

On the Advanced Form, select the “People You Follow” option from the tabs at the top of the page. This will reveal the “People You Follow” menu. You can select people one-by-one for maximum control, or choose “Select All” for bulk actions. Note – you can still apply additional filters even if you select everyone.

Finalize Following Removal With Filters

Redact gives you a few options to narrow down which people you want to unfollow.

1. Apply Account-based Filters

With Redact, you can remove accounts you follow based on special criteria – simply select one or more of the filters in “deletion options”. This lets you;

• Unfollow everyone that doesn’t follow you back on Instagram
• Unfollow all private Instagram accounts
• Unfollow all verified Instagram accounts
• Unfollowed all unverified Instagram accounts

3. Keep Following Specific Accounts on Instagram

You can choose to continue following accounts by typing in their username in the Preservation Option section. Maybe you have a friend who has their account on private but you want to remove every other private account.

4. Pick How You Want to Clean Up Your Instagram Following

Redact gives you several ways to manage your Instagram following, depending on how much control you want.

• Preview Mode – See which accounts match your filters before making any changes.
• Select & Remove – Review the accounts and choose exactly who you want to unfollow in bulk.
• Instant Removal – Automatically unfollows all accounts that match your filters right away.
• Scheduled Cleanup – Keeps your following tidy by automatically unfollowing accounts over time based on your rules.

We recommend starting with Preview Mode so you can review everything before committing to a full cleanup.

Why Use Redact to Clean Up Your Instagram Following?

Instagram does not offer an easy way to manage your following in bulk. Cleaning it up manually means endless scrolling, checking profiles one by one, and wasting time.

Redact makes it much easier to take control of your following without the frustration. You can preview accounts before unfollowing them, set up ongoing cleanups, and use filters to remove exactly the accounts you no longer want to follow.

Whether you are trimming down an overcrowded following list or resetting your profile for a fresh start, Redact helps you keep your Instagram presence clean and under your control.
