✨ Decluttering My Instagram Feed — One Smart Click at a Time

I’ve been meaning to clean up my Instagram following list for months. You know the feeling — your feed is crowded, engagement feels low, and half the accounts you follow haven’t posted in forever (or never followed you back).

The problem? Manually unfollowing people is a huge time sink. And frankly, I don’t want to spend an hour clicking and checking profiles.

Last week, I discovered a Chrome extension called IG Unfollow – Smart Instagram Auto Unfollow Tool, and it’s been surprisingly helpful. It doesn’t promise magic growth or shady engagement tactics. It just… helps you clean things up.

Here’s what I liked about it:

✅ You choose who to unfollow: it can detect people who don’t follow you back, everyone you follow, or even let you upload a custom list of usernames.

⏱️ It adds random delays between actions to mimic human behavior and avoid Instagram’s rate limits.

🧠 You can export the unfollowed user list in one click — super helpful if you want to keep a record.

🧩 Everything runs locally in your browser, so no data ever leaves your device.

💡 The interface is clean, simple, and doesn’t require any setup or tech skills.

There’s a free version (6 unfollows/day) that’s enough for gradual cleanup. If you want unlimited use, there’s a pro version too — but even with the free plan, it’s a helpful tool to keep your digital space a little tidier.

This isn’t a sponsored post — I just enjoy finding tiny tools that solve small but annoying problems.
