Monitor new followers and unfollowers

To monitor new followers and unfollowers, you’d typically need to track activity on a social media platform. There are a few ways to do this:

1. Native Social Media Analytics

Most social media platforms (like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) provide some level of analytics for tracking follower growth, including new followers and unfollowers. For example:

  • Instagram: The “Insights” section offers follower metrics, but it doesn’t specifically tell you who unfollowed you.

  • Twitter: You can see how many new followers you gain, but you won’t get a notification for unfollowers unless you use third-party tools.

2. Third-Party Tools

These tools are more specialized and provide more detailed analytics, including tracking who unfollowed you and when:

  • Followers+ (iOS): Tracks new followers and unfollowers on Instagram.

  • Unfollowers (Android): Allows you to track both new followers and unfollowers on Twitter and Instagram.

  • SocialBlade: Offers insights into social media growth on platforms like YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram, but doesn’t give you exact unfollower data.

  • Twitly: Specifically for Twitter, to track new followers and unfollowers.

3. Manual Tracking

For a more hands-on approach, you could periodically record the number of followers you have at a specific time. With this, you can spot any changes in follower count. However, this method can be quite time-consuming.

4. Automated Scripts (Advanced)

If you have coding knowledge, you could write scripts using social media APIs (like Twitter API or Instagram Graph API) to track followers and unfollowers. This would involve programming skills and might require access to developer tools on the platform.

Would you like help with setting up any of these methods?
