How we get follower information

• Scan in any browser (bookmark): reads the follower handles displayed on your own followers page during a scan you started, scrolling the list for you at a steady pace. It never clicks, uses private Instagram APIs or bypasses any security measure.
• Data export import: uses the file you download from Instagram's “Download your information” tool.
• Official API (where enabled): uses Meta's Instagram Platform for follower totals of professional accounts. The official API does not provide lists of individual followers.

What “no longer follows you” means

It means an account that was in your previous complete follower list is not in the latest one. That can happen because the person unfollowed you, removed or deactivated their account, restricted or blocked you, or changed their username. Instagram does not tell us which, so we never claim someone “definitely unfollowed” you.
