Compare two Instagram follower lists.

Where the two lists come from

Every Instagram data download contains your full followers list (followers_1.json) and the accounts you follow (following.json), with the date of each follow. Download once now, and again in a week or two: those are your two lists.

Compare them in two minutes

1. Download your Instagram data: Followers and following, format JSON.
2. Drop the ZIP on Unwrapped. It’s saved as a private snapshot in your browser.
3. Next time, drop the newer ZIP — or drop an old and a new ZIP together. The comparison runs automatically.

What the comparison shows

• Who unfollowed you between the two dates — and whether you still follow them.
• New followers in the same period.
• Who you unfollowed yourself, so you don’t confuse the two.
• A followers-over-time chart once you have three or more snapshots.

Doing it by hand (and why it’s painful)

You can open both JSON files and compare usernames in a spreadsheet, but usernames change, the files are nested and a list of a few thousand names takes ages to check. A tool built for the export handles renamed folders, HTML exports and multi-part ZIPs for you.
