Instagram Unfollow Automation Script

This Python script automates the process of unfollowing Instagram accounts by sorting the followings list from oldest to newest and unfollowing them in that order. Please use this script responsibly and be aware of Instagram's limitations to avoid potential restrictions on your account.

Features

• Logs in to your Instagram account.
• Extracts and sorts your followings list.
• Automatically unfollows accounts based on the specified order.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Chrome browser
• ChromeDriver (matching your Chrome browser version)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/masoudv/instagram-unfollow-automation.git
   cd instagram-unfollow-automation

2. Install dependencies: Make sure you have the necessary Python libraries installed. You can install them using:

   pip install selenium beautifulsoup4

3. Download ChromeDriver:

   • Download the ChromeDriver for your operating system here.
   • Make sure the version matches your installed Chrome browser version.
   • Place the downloaded chromedriver file in the project folder or update the path in the script.

Usage

1. Configure your login credentials: Open instagram_unfollow.py and replace the following variables with your Instagram login details:

   username = "your_username"
   password = "your_password"

2. Run the script:

   python instagram_unfollow.py

   for following in followings[:10]:  # Adjust the limit as needed
       unfollow_user(following)

Important Notes

• Rate Limits: Instagram imposes rate limits, so unfollowing too many users in a short time can result in temporary or permanent restrictions. It’s recommended to keep unfollowing sessions moderate.
