If you have set your profile to private, only users that follow you can view the photos and videos shared by you. You get a notification when someone requests to follow you on Instagram and you can either accept or decline the request. To protect user privacy, Instagram does not notify you if someone has unfollowed you.

If you want to know who has unfollowed you on Instagram, there are two ways to do this – manually or use a third-party app.
