1. Install a Passwordless Local Extension
Avoid mobile tracker apps that require typing your Instagram password. Use local browser processing to prevent account suspensions.
Pro Tip: FollowCheck processes connection lists locally inside your open Chrome tab without remote data logging.
2. Authenticate via Active Session Cookie
Sign in to Instagram.com on your desktop browser. Your session cookie validates your identity without sharing login credentials.
Pro Tip: Never share 2FA backup codes or password tokens with third-party web apps.
3. Perform Connection Graph Audit
Run a 1-click comparison between your Followers and Following lists to categorize Non-Followers, Mutuals, and Fans.
Pro Tip: Built-in rate throttling keeps queries looking like natural browser navigation.
4. Filter Inactive & Deactivated Profiles
Identify accounts without profile photos, inactive users, and accounts that fail to engage with your content.
Pro Tip: Use the search bar to locate specific usernames or names in seconds.
5. Execute Safe Unfollow Pace (Max 30-50 / day)
Avoid mass-unfollowing hundreds of users in minutes. Spread actions across 2-3 sessions per day.
Pro Tip: Staying under 40 unfollows per day prevents Instagram HTTP 429 rate limit warnings.
