Can you See who Unfollowed you on Threads?
As you know, when someone follows your account, you will get a notification. However, Threads won’t notify anyone when someone unfollows your account instead.
This is because unfollowing an account is perceived as negative on social media. Just like you can’t directly know if someone blocked you on Threads, find out if someone restricted your account, etc., you are also unable to see who unfollowed your account.
If it is possible to view or get notifications when a person unfollows your account, your mood can get hit, and there will be more negative influence than the benefits you receive. Likewise, someone unfollowing also won’t want the other party to know since it can ruin a relationship.
Hence, no, you cannot see who unfollowed you on Threads directly. There is an unfollowed list available on Threads. However, such action can still be found if you carefully examine the signs, which we will discuss in detail in the following sections.
How to See Who Unfollowed You on Threads?
So, since it is impossible to know who unfollowed you on Threads directly, we can only manually look at our account to find out.
You can still accurately find if someone has unfollowed you or not and don’t need to guess. So, let’s look at the few methods we can use to find out who remove your account from their following list.
Method 1: Using your Followers List
This method is helpful when you don’t have a specific person to check and want to know who has unfollowed your account randomly.
By using your followers list, you can find out the missing usernames and conclude if someone is unfollowing your account or not in a certain period. This method also lets you find out new followers.
So, go through the steps below on your Smartphone (Android or iOS (iPhone or iPad) to see out who unfollowed you on Threads.
1. First, open the account on your Mobile Phone and tap the “user” icon from the lower right corner.
2. Next, tap the menu icon (two lines) from the top right corner, select “Privacy,” and then the “Profiles you follow” option.
You can also tap the “…followers” text in grey color below your username on the Profile page to access this page.
3. Now, on the Followers” tab, scroll through the list of usernames. If you cannot find someone’s username on the list (which you are sure was there before), you can conclude that they have unfollowed you.
You can also take a screenshot of this list for reference. After some time, return to this page and see if someone’s username is missing. This is how you can easily find out about the following status.
Method 2: By checking their Profile
If you are suspicious of a particular account that they might have unfollowed you, you can go to their Profile to confirm it.
Hence, follow the steps below on your Android or iOS (iPhone or iPad) device to know if that person has truly kicked you out of his/her following list.
1. First, tap the search icon next to the home icon from the bottom menu.
2. Next, type the username/display name of the person you suspect in the search bar and open their Profile page from the list.
3. After that, look at the “Follow” button below their username. You will see the “Following” button in its place if you are still connected.
4. Now, to check if they are following you or not, you first need to unfollow their account. So, tap the “Following” button.
5. Finally, you will see the button change to either “Follow” or “Follow back.“
The “Follow back” button means that person is currently following you. However, if you only see the “Follow” button, then they have already unfollowed your account.
You can look at the two pictures below to see how the same account has two different buttons when they are following or not following an account on Threads.
Disclaimer: This method needs you to unfollow an account first to find the following status. Hence, when you follow someone again, you will notify them immediately.
So, only use this when you don’t mind alerting others. Otherwise, you can use our next method instead.
Method 3: Checking other’s Following List
Look at the steps below to find out the followers’ status of someone on Threads by checking their following list.
1. First, go to their Profile page and tap the “…followers” option below their username. For example, it can be “12.3k followers.”
2. Next, tap the “Following” tabs from the top and search for your username on the list.
If you can find your username, then they are still connected to your account. However, if you cannot do so, they have unfollowed you.
Method 4: Using Third-party Tools
If you have a large number of followers base and don’t have time to look at such things manually, you can use third-party software or apps instead.
However, since Threads is relatively new, you may find one that works with it. So, you can use one that works with Instagram since many people tend to unfollow an account on both platforms.
One of the best applications you can use for this is FollowMeter. You can find it on Google Play Store (Android) or App Store (iPhone or iPad).
Now, use this analytical tool to monitor your followers, who unfollowed your account, and other aspects. There is no need to check each person manually.
Note: You may also find other third-party software on the market. However, before using any of them, do check if they violate the community guidelines and privacy policy. You can lose your account if you’re not careful.
Why Someone Unfollows you on Threads?
Before finding who is unfollowing you, you first need to understand why they are doing so in the first place. Maybe it is your mistake, or you unintentionally do something that leads to this.
Only when you know the reasons can you perfectly counter such issues. Hence, let’s look at why Someone unfollowed you on Threads.
1. Unrelated Contents
People can follow you on Threads because of the related content you post that aligns with their interests and preference. However, if you start to publish unrelated or unnecessary posts, then it is no wonder they will unfollow your account.
2. Excess post
Nobody likes to get disturbed by constant posts from a single account on their news feed. Though they can restrict the Threads account to solve such issues, they will find unfollowing your account easier. So, if you are posting content at a large frequency, maybe you need to lower that number a bit.
3. You’re inactive
Someone can follow you when they find your account and content interesting. They follow you in the hope that you will regularly post and interact with them. But if you are inactive or only available occasionally, then it won’t take long for them to lose interest and unfollow your account.
4. Offensive Content
Offensive and rough contents, disrespectful and inappropriate attitudes on Threads are the direct ticket to the “Unfollow’ button. Sometimes, one posts against the norms of society, and inappropriate content (photo, video, or status) can lead to a large number of people unfollowing your account.
Besides these, someone can unfollow your account to protect their privacy, loss of interest, misunderstanding, or simply because they don’t want to follow you anymore.
So, you can prevent such things from happening if it is related to you; otherwise, you cannot change other people’s decisions every time.

Can you get Notifications when Someone Unfollows you on Threads?
No, you will not get notifications when someone unfollows your account on Threads. You will, however, receive a notification if someone starts to follow you (or they follow back after unfollowing).
So, you can’t know exactly when someone has started unfollowing you. Only if you carefully look at the signs or have a low follower base can you know about such things.
Of course, even if it is inconvenient when someone unfollows you and you are unaware, it is still a useful feature to do the same with other people’s accounts because you don’t want them to know either, right?
How to Unfollow People Who Don’t Follow You on Threads?
If you find out that someone has removed you from their following list, there is no point in you following their account.
So, to unfollow them, go to their Profile by searching for their username and press the “Following” button. Now, that button will immediately revert to the “Follow” button, and you will disconnect from that person.
You can also unfollow someone from your following list. For this, go to Settings >> Privacy >> Profiles you follow, and find that person’s account on the list.
Now, tap the “Following” button next to that username to unfollow that account immediately.
You won’t notify that person when you unfollow your friend on Threads.
How to Know who you Unfollowed on Threads?
You can tell who you unfollowed on Threads by visiting that person’s Profile page. If you see a “Follow” or “Follow back” button on their account, you are not following them.
