What counts as a non-follower
A non-follower is someone you currently follow whose follow-back relationship is confirmed false. A missing name in a partial list does not meet that definition.
Why incomplete lists need care
Relationship evidence includes its source, observation time, and completeness. Stale, partial, or unreadable evidence excludes a person from automatic unfollow rather than labeling them a non-follower.
Protect your whitelist
Use a whitelist for people you want to keep following regardless of their follow-back status. Review protected exclusions alongside eligible rows so the planned outcome is understandable.
Preview and start a task
The intended tool flow is select Non-followers, review eligible and unknown rows, confirm the current account, and start. Live collection is unavailable in this development build; use the methods guide for the distinction between manual review and a future tool preview.
Planned workflow example
Illustration only: this is not a live Instagram execution.
- Choose the source and current actor.
- Review exclusions and unknown evidence.
- Regenerate the preview after any configuration change.
- Start only after live capability verification and explicit confirmation.
Does a missing list row prove a non-follower?
No. Recent, complete relationship evidence is required; live non-follower collection remains unavailable.
