Answer first
Request a focused export from Accounts Center with Followers and following selected.
Meta lets users customize the information, date range, and format of an export to a device.
File requirements
Open Accounts Center, choose Your information and permissions, create an export, and select JSON for machine-readable analysis.
- JSON format
- Followers records
- Following records
- Consistent account and scope
- Original ZIP or both JSON files
Worked check
Read the relationship state correctly
The check compares two present-tense sets. “Outgoing only” says where the username appears now; it says nothing by itself about intent or history.
Choose only relationship data and keep the ZIP unopened until analysis.
Choose the next step
Review the relevant group and leave intentional one-way relationships alone.
Common questions
Is “not following back” the same as “unfollowed”?
Meta lets users customize the information, date range, and format of an export to a device.
Will this tool unfollow anyone?
No. CheckFollowBack produces a review list and never performs an Instagram action.
Do I need to sign in?
No. Use the relationship JSON from an official export; never enter an Instagram password into this site.
