Mass Unfollow Accounts on Instagram

Redact clears out who you follow on Instagram in bulk. Unfollow everyone, or target accounts that don't follow you back, private accounts, or unverified accounts, and keep the people you actually want to follow.

Free for your last 30 days of posts & reels.

Why trim who you follow

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.

01

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.
02

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.
03

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.
What this feature does

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.

    Let Redact do the work

    Redact unfollows each account in turn, pacing itself to respect Instagram's limits, and shows progress as it goes.

Your follow list stays on your device

Redact unfollows accounts straight through Instagram from your device, using only the access needed to do it. It never stores who you follow, and you can disconnect Instagram whenever you want.
