Automatically Unfollow Instagram Users who don’t Follow You Back

Have you followed users on Instagram and realized they have not followed you back so now your follow/follower ratio is a bit skewed.

It can take a lot of time investment removing non-followers. So here is the solution you can run from your own desktop.

Please note that Instagram does have a policy on automated processes

It does not cost you nor do you have to sign-up to a premium service or tool.
