Full disclosure: UnfollowersTrack is our product, so it tops our own list. To keep the list useful we also spell out where every other tool beats us — see "When a native iOS app is the better choice" below.
You don't need an iOS app to track unfollowers on iPhone
Every list like this used to start with an App Store download. UnfollowersTrack itself is still a website: open it in Safari, type a public @username, and run a scan with no download or Instagram login required. If you prefer a native experience, its companion Lurke app is available on iOS and Android.
Here's the mechanism, plainly: A scan shows a profile's recent public follow activity; unfollows are detected by comparing later scans against your first, and history builds from that first scan onward. Because it's all in the browser, it works the same the day a new iOS version breaks an app, on an iPad, or on a friend's Android phone — there's nothing to install or update.

The iOS apps compared, honestly
FANS — the password-free Apple app
FANS (Walter Labs) never asks for your Instagram login. Instead, you request Instagram's official data export and import the ZIP; the app then analyzes your follower lists locally on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. The trade-offs: the export-and-wait step, your own account only, and revealing unfollower results is a paid unlock (from $4.99).
UnfollowersTrack vs FANSReports+ — the most-reviewed analytics app
Reports+ (Deep Vision Labs) carries a 4.6-star average across 470k+ App Store ratings. You sign in with your Instagram account and get deep follower analytics — unfollowers, ghost followers, accounts not following back — with extra features sold as in-app purchases.
UnfollowersTrack vs Reports+FollowMeter — the simple daily tracker
FollowMeter is a popular, straightforward tracker (4.1 stars, ~24k ratings) for day-to-day monitoring of unfollowers and not-following-back lists. It requires signing in with your Instagram account, and PLUS plans start at $4.99/month.
UnfollowersTrack vs FollowMeterInsTrack — the pro-account power tool
InsTrack (around since 2012) goes furthest on analytics: audience insights, competitor tracking, and scheduling. It requires a Professional Instagram account connected through Facebook login, so personal accounts can't use it at all.
UnfollowersTrack vs InsTrackDolphin Radar — the other web option
Dolphin Radar isn't an iOS app either — it's a web tracker that follows the public follower changes of any public account, with a free preview and paid reports (a $9.90 one-time report or a weekly-updated plan at $8.90/month).
UnfollowersTrack vs Dolphin RadarWhen a native iOS app is the better choice
An honest list says where the browser experience loses. If any of these matter most to you, pick a native app — including our Lurke companion app — over UnfollowersTrack in Safari:
Push notifications
UnfollowersTrack is scan-based — you see new results when you come back and run another scan, not as lock-screen alerts. The Lurke companion app can send optional Pro alerts after a completed scan finds a change.
Get Lurke for iPhoneA home-screen icon and app feel
If you want a one-tap icon and native UI, use Lurke on iPhone. You can also add unfollowerstrack.com to your home screen from Safari's share menu if you prefer the browser tool.

Apps like Reports+ and FollowMeter carry long public review histories you can read before trying. As a web tool, we ask you to judge us by the free first scan instead.
Deeper account analytics
If you need engagement metrics, story analytics, or post scheduling, an analytics app like InsTrack or Reports+ goes well beyond a follower tracker.
How to track unfollowers on iPhone with UnfollowersTrack
Open Safari and start a scan
Go to unfollowerstrack.com on your iPhone — no download — and enter any public @username: yours, or a public profile you're researching.
Review your first scan
The first scan captures the profile's followers and its recent public follow activity. That snapshot is the baseline your history builds from.
Scan again later to catch unfollows
Unfollows are detected by comparing later scans against your first, so each return visit shows who's gone — and who's new — since your baseline.
