How to Check Twitter (X) Followers & Unfollowers in 2025 — The Smart Way (with XJumper)
Follower churn is signal. This guide shows manual and tool-based ways to see who unfollowed you on X (Twitter), then turns that data into action using XJumper’s Smart Follow/Unfollow and X-native CRM.
Watch: Unfollower Tracking (2 min)
TL;DR
- Native X shows counts, not who unfollowed—manual checks work for small accounts.
- Trackers like Circleboom and Fedica (WhoUnfollowedMe) provide unfollower history, “not following back,” and inactivity flags.
- XJumper turns churn into action: Smart Follow/Unfollow, re-engagement workflows, and CRM notes—so you don’t just see the loss, you fix the loop.
Why This Matters
Unfollowers aren’t just a vanity metric—they’re feedback. Track, learn, prune low-fit follows, and re-engage the right people.

How to Check Followers & Unfollowers (3 Paths)
1) Manual (free, best for small accounts)
Open your profile → Followers → look up specific handles and compare lists periodically. Accurate but time-consuming beyond a few dozen people.
2) Trackers (faster, history included)
Tools like Circleboom and Fedica’s WhoUnfollowedMe show recent unfollowers, “not following back,” and inactivity flags—handy for pruning.
3) Act on Churn with XJumper
- Tag & note churned or low-fit accounts in the X-native CRM.
- Smart Unfollow to tidy your graph over days (not minutes) to avoid spikes.
- Re-engage high-fit users with thoughtful replies/DMs (permission-based).
Safety Note on “Mass Unfollow” Extensions
Bulk-click extensions exist, but aggressive bursts can look risky. Prefer paced workflows and manual review for key accounts. A deliberate, steady prune is often healthier than automation binges.
Visual Guide
30-Minute Setup (Checklist)
- Baseline: export your recent analytics and note net follower change.
- Run a tracker once (snapshot unfollowers; tag VIPs you don’t want to lose).
- In XJumper: create a Prune list (low-fit) and a Re-engage list (high-fit churners).
- Schedule 10–15 Smart Unfollows/day; add 3 reply/DM touchpoints for re-engagement.
FAQs
Does X notify me when someone unfollows?
No—there’s no native unfollower log or alert. Use periodic checks or a tracker with history. XJumper focuses on actions (tag, re-engage, tidy graph) rather than scraping hidden data.
Can I remove a follower without blocking?
Yes on web: open their profile → More → Remove this follower. On mobile, a “soft-block” (block then immediately unblock) achieves a similar result. Use sparingly and communicate when appropriate.
Should I mass unfollow?
Be careful. Fast spikes can look abnormal; deliberate pruning or paced workflows are safer. XJumper’s Smart Unfollow helps pace activity.
