If you’re trying to grow your TikTok followers and suddenly notice the number going down, you might wonder: “Who unfollowed me?” It’s a common question, especially if you’re working hard to grow your account and stay active on the platform. While TikTok doesn’t directly notify you when someone unfollows, there are a few smart ways to find out.
In this article, we’ll explain how you can check who unfollowed you on TikTok, why it might happen, and what to do about it. We'll keep it simple, easy to understand, and helpful for TikTok users of all levels.
The short answer is no—TikTok does not notify you when someone unfollows your account. Unlike other social media apps like Instagram, TikTok has limited tools for tracking follower changes.
But don’t worry—you still have a few ways to find out if someone has unfollowed you.
This method works best if you suspect someone specific has unfollowed you.
Go to your TikTok profile.
Tap “Followers”.
Use the search bar to look for the person’s username.
If their name doesn’t show up, they’ve unfollowed you (or deleted their account).
This is the most direct method, but it’s not practical for checking a large number of followers. It's best for checking a few users at a time.
Several apps claim to show you who unfollowed you on TikTok. These apps track changes in your follower list and compare who’s followed or unfollowed over time.
Some of the popular apps include:
Followers & Unfollowers (for Android)
Followers Track for TikTok (for iOS)
TikTracker (multi-platform)
Most of these apps require access to your TikTok account data. Be very careful when using third-party tools. Make sure the app is trustworthy and has good reviews. Never share your TikTok password with any tool or app.
If you don’t want to use an app, you can manually track your followers. It takes a little time but is 100% safe.
Write down or export your follower list into a spreadsheet.
After a few days or weeks, compare the list with your current followers.
Anyone missing from the new list has unfollowed you.
This method is slow but works well if you're trying to monitor long-term changes and avoid third-party tools.
Losing followers can feel disappointing, but it’s totally normal. Here are some common reasons people might unfollow:
Content Change: Your content style or niche may have changed.
Too Many Posts: Posting too often can annoy some followers.
Inactivity: If you don’t post for a while, people may lose interest.
Viral Follower Drop: Some users follow accounts after a viral video, then unfollow later.
Remember, it’s better to have followers who truly enjoy your content than people who follow and never engage.
While you can’t completely stop people from unfollowing, you can reduce it by following a few smart tips:
Create a schedule and stick to it. Posting 3–5 times a week is a good starting point.
If your niche is comedy, don’t suddenly switch to fitness without warning. Consistency builds trust.
Reply to comments, like other videos, and thank your followers for their support. People love creators who interact.
Clear video, good sound, and strong hooks in the first 3 seconds matter a lot on TikTok.
Participate in trending sounds and challenges, but add your own twist to make it unique.
Not really.
Every account—big or small—loses followers at some point. Even popular creators with millions of TikTok followers see drops occasionally. The key is to stay focused on quality and engagement. As long as your content adds value or entertainment, new followers will continue to find you.
While TikTok doesn’t offer a built-in feature to show who unfollowed you, you still have options. Whether you check manually, use a third-party app carefully, or track with a spreadsheet, there are ways to stay informed.
But more importantly, focus on creating content that your current and future TikTok followers will love. Over time, your account will grow naturally with people who truly enjoy what you share.
Keep posting, keep improving, and don’t stress too much about the numbers—they’ll follow if the content is strong.
