3. Unfollow Actions

  • Unfollows per Operation

    Sets how many users the bot will unfollow in one session.

    ▸ Example: 5–10 means the bot will randomly choose to unfollow between 5 and 10 users each time it runs.

  • Delays after Unfollowing

    Defines the wait time between each unfollow action within a session.

    ▸ Example: 0–5 seconds means the bot will pause randomly between 0 and 5 seconds after each unfollow.

  • Unfollow Limit per Day

    Sets the maximum number of users the bot can unfollow in a 24-hour period.

    ▸ Example: Setting it to 30 means the bot will stop after unfollowing 30 accounts for the day.

  • Auto Increment Unfollow Limit

    Gradually increases your daily unfollow cap by a set number until it hits a maximum target.

    ▸ Example: +5/day until 50 means:

    • Day 1 = 10 unfollows
    • Day 2 = 15 unfollows

    • Day 3 = 20 unfollows

      …and so on until reaching 50.

Sets how many days to wait before unfollowing someone you previously followed. Example: setting 5 days means the bot will only unfollow accounts that you followed 5 or more days ago.

  • Enable Follow Tool if There’s No More Users to Unfollow

    Automatically switches to the Follow tool when there are no more unfollow targets available.

  • Don’t Unfollow Followers

    Skips users who follow you back, helping preserve mutual connections.

  • Don’t Unfollow Close Friends

    Prevents unfollowing accounts marked as “Close Friends.”

    ▸ When enabled, this automatically uses the “Unfollow Accounts Using IG Search” method.

  • Unfollow Specific Accounts

    Lets you manually or automatically select accounts to unfollow.

    ▸ Options:

    • Enter Your Current Followings – Manually input specific usernames
    • Scrape Current Followings – Automatically gather usernames from your current following list

📅 Schedule & Per-Day Limits

  • Enable Days of the Week to Unfollow

    Select specific weekdays when the bot is allowed to run unfollow operations.

    ▸ Example: Checking Monday, Wednesday, and Friday means no unfollows will happen on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, or Sunday.

  • Enable Specific Limit per Day to Unfollow

    Set custom unfollow limits for each weekday, overriding the global daily cap.

    ▸ Example:

    • Monday = 20 unfollows
    • Tuesday = 30 unfollows

    • Wednesday = 40 unfollows

      …and so on.

      ▸ The bot will stop unfollowing for the day once that day’s limit is reached, even if your overall cap is higher.
