A bloated following list works against you
Who you follow is public, shapes your feed, and quietly says something about you. Years of one-way and dormant follows add up.
It buries what you actually care about
Following hundreds of dormant or one-way accounts clutters your feed and hides the people you actually follow for.
Who you follow is public
Old or off-brand follows can send the wrong signal to employers, clients, or your audience the moment they check your profile.
Manual unfollowing is slow and rate-limited
Tapping unfollow hundreds of times is tedious and risks Instagram's action limits. Redact batches it for you.
Trim your following list with precision
Choose who to unfollow with attribute filters, protect the accounts you want to keep, preview the batch, and run it. Everything happens locally from your device.

Frequently asked questions
Install Redact, connect your Instagram account, and run an unfiltered unfollow to clear your whole following list, or add attribute filters first to target a subset. Review the list, then start.
Yes. Turn on the "not following you back" filter and Redact only queues the accounts that don't follow you in return. Combine it with the private, verified, or unverified filters to narrow it further.
Instagram doesn't send a notification when you unfollow someone, so the change is quiet on your end.
Yes. Add usernames to the preserve list and Redact will skip them no matter which filters you apply.
