  • Users upload that data to Follow Buddy.
  • The app then sorts over time to determine:
    • who unfollowed you
    • who never followed you back
• Works regardless of account size, including “massive” accounts.
• Offers a free trial (with a cancel-before-charged promise).
• Available on:

Pros (as stated in the video)

• Instagram safe / compliant; “only safe method” claimed.
• No password sharing with third parties.
• Helps avoid account-ban risk the creator warns about for other apps.
• Can still deliver unfollower info even for large accounts.
• Free trial available.

---

Cons / limitations (implied by the process)

The workflow is not presented as “instant scanning”; it requires:

• downloading Instagram-approved data
• uploading it to the app
• then sorting over time

(No explicit downsides were stated, but the method suggests it’s more manual than password-based trackers.)

Unsafe competitors mentioned (and why)

The video frames most Instagram unfollower tracker apps as unsafe, especially those that:

1. Require your Instagram password

   • Example products called out:
     • FollowMeter
     • A “far and away most popular app that no longer works” (name not given)

2. Automatically tell you who unfollowed you without you providing data

   • Labeled as breaking Instagram’s rules via scraping data.

3. Rely on fake/boosted reviews/ads to appear trustworthy.

Specific risks emphasized

Using unsafe apps can trigger an Instagram warning and eventually lead to:

• being banned
• losing your account entirely
• “some people never get it back” (as claimed)

---

Red flags to avoid (unique points)

• Any app that needs your Instagram password
• Any app that can automatically identify unfollowers without the user providing compliant data
• Apps with suspicious review patterns (implied: fake reviews, heavy ads)

---

Comparisons made

• Follow Buddy vs. password/scraping apps
  • Follow Buddy: Instagram-compliant, no password, uses approved data + upload process.
  • Other apps: password required and/or automatic detection via scraping (unsafe).

---

Verdict / recommendation

Based on the video, Follow Buddy is the recommended option because it’s presented as the only safe/Instagram-compliant way to find unfollowers in 2026—specifically by:

• not requesting a password
• using Instagram-approved data

The creator strongly advises avoiding password-based or “instant automatic” unfollower trackers due to ban/account-loss risk.
