TL;DR: the best Instagram unfollower trackers for iPhone in 2026
- 1
UnfollowersTrackour tool
UnfollowersTrack — best if you don't want to install an app or log in: a password-free web scan that runs in Safari, for public profiles with no more than 20,000 followers or following.
Free sampled preview to start; a subscription adds completed full scans and history. Our Lurke companion app covers iPhone if you'd rather have a native app.
- 2
FANS
FANS — best if you want a password-free iPhone app for your own account: it reads Instagram's official data export, which FANS says it processes on your device.
Trade-offs: you wait for the export ZIP, it covers only your own account, and its listing says revealing all unfollowers needs a Pro subscription (from $4.99).

Reports+
Reports+ — best if you want deep analytics from an established iOS app and are comfortable signing in with your Instagram account.
4.6 stars from about 494K App Store ratings; covers up to four of your accounts; free with ads and in-app purchases.
Full comparison - 4
FollowMeter
FollowMeter — best if you want a simple, popular day-to-day tracker on both iPhone and Android and don't mind signing in with Instagram.
Free with ads; Plus from $3.99 a week or $4.99 a month (App Store, October 9, 2026).
Full comparison - 5
InsTrack
InsTrack — best for Professional (business or creator) accounts that want analytics, competitor tracking and scheduling rather than follower lists.
The iOS app connects via Facebook login; the instrack.app web dashboard uses an email sign-up. Personal accounts aren't supported.
Full comparison
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.
Who should pick what

If you want deep analytics on your own account and don't mind signing in:
Reports+. UnfollowersTrack vs Reports+
If you switch between iPhone and Android and want one familiar app:
FollowMeter. UnfollowersTrack vs FollowMeter
If you run a Professional account and need competitor tracking or scheduling:

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 free preview samples current public follower and following lists. A completed subscribed full scan establishes the baseline; later completed full scans can detect changes from that baseline. 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; FANS says your lists are processed locally on your device. The trade-offs: the export-and-wait step, your own account only, and its App Store listing says a Pro subscription is required to reveal all unfollowers (from $4.99). It has 4.5 stars from 164 ratings.
UnfollowersTrack vs FANSReports+ — the most-reviewed analytics app
Reports+ (Deep Vision Labs) carries a 4.6-star average across about 494K App Store ratings. You sign in through Instagram's own web login inside the app and get deep follower analytics — unfollowers, ghost followers, accounts not following back — for up to four of your accounts, plus analytics on other profiles. It's free with ads, 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 from about 24K App Store ratings) for day-to-day monitoring of unfollowers and not-following-back lists. It requires signing in with your Instagram account — since version 7.0 it says it stays connected in the background — and Plus plans start at $3.99 a week or $4.99 a month.
UnfollowersTrack vs FollowMeterInsTrack — the pro-account power tool
InsTrack (instrack.app, around since 2012) goes furthest on analytics: audience insights, competitor and hashtag tracking, and scheduling. It only supports Professional Instagram accounts, so personal accounts can't use it at all. Its iOS app connects through Facebook login, while its newer web dashboard uses an email sign-up and charges $1 per tracked account per month.
UnfollowersTrack vs InsTrackDolphin Radar — the other web option
Dolphin Radar isn't an iOS app either — it's a web tracker for any public account, with a free preview, a $9.90 one-time relationship report, and a Guardian plan that detects unfollowers with weekly reports ($12.90 a month, or $8.90 a month billed annually).
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.
See how Lurke worksYears of public App Store reviews
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 sampled preview 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 a public @username with no more than 20,000 followers or following: yours, or a public profile you're researching.
Review the free preview
The free preview samples the profile's current public follower and following lists. It doesn't establish unfollower history on its own.
Subscribe to track changes
A completed subscribed full scan establishes the baseline; later completed full scans show who appeared or disappeared between those checks.
