While X (formerly known as Twitter) never told you when somebody unfollowed you, many other services filled that gap. Now that X charges for access to its data (API), most services that once tracked followers have stopped working. Fortunately, there are still some premium apps that will show you who unfollowed you on X. If you want to see who unfollowed you for free, there are some simple tricks you can do on X that won't cost you a dime. This wikiHow article lists the safest and most reliable ways to track who unfollows you on X.
Things You Should Know
- Most websites and apps that tracked unfollowers no longer exist due to X's new limitations.
- Larger companies who can still access X's data can track your unfollows, but you'll need to pay.
- To see unfollows on X for free, click or tap the "Following" tab, or check your X analytics.

X now limits how many Tweets you can send and view each day. If you're experiencing "Rate Limit Exceeded" messages on X, it's usually due to sending or reading too many Tweets.[4]Thanks

About This Article
While Twitter doesn’t directly show you who’s unfollowed you, you can still find out using third-party websites and apps. One way to see your unfollowers is to visit who.unfollowed.me in a web browser, then sign in to the website with your Twitter account. Follow the prompts to give the website access to your Twitter data. Next, go to the top of the page and click the “Unfollowers” button. While you won’t see anyone who unfollowed you before you signed in to Who Unfollowed Me, any new unfollows will show up at the “Unfollowers” link from now on. Other websites that offer similar services include Unfollowspy and Zebraboss. If you don’t want to give a website direct access to your Twitter account, Zebraboss is a good option. All you need to do is provide your Twitter username or URL and an email address, and Zebraboss will send you a daily email with a list of people who have unfollowed you. You can also try using an app that tracks who follows or unfollows you, such as Unfollower Stats or Who Unfollowed Me on Twitter. Install the app on your phone or tablet, then follow the prompts to sign in with your Twitter account and let the app get access to your follower data. These apps typically have an “Unfollower” or “Recent Unfollows” section where you can find information about who has unfollowed you. They may also let you see other data, like who has recently started following you, or which users you follow who don’t follow you back.
