How do you mass unfollow inactive Twitter accounts?
I have found that 75 of my Twitter following (friends) are inactive. It means they do not share content or engage with my posts. They are totally inactive!
Is it possible to get rid of them easily? I do not want to unfollow them manually! It takes so much time.
Instead, I want to mass unfollow these inactive Twitter accounts. I know there are two ways of mass unfollowing X accounts.
One is using a browser script that is free but can be risky. Violating Twitter’s terms and policies may harm your profile and you may lose your account.
The other one is using Circleboom’s Unfollow Tool. It is safe and fast. You can mass unfollow inactive, fake, low-quality Twitter accounts.
First of all, let me show you how to mass unfollow inactive X accounts with Circleboom.
You just need to follow these steps to mass unfollow on Circleboom:
Step #1: Open Circleboom on your browser and log into your account.
If this is the first time, you can create an account in seconds.
Step #2: When you are on the dashboard, navigate to the left and find the “Friends” section.
From the menu, find “Inactive Friends”.
Step #3: Circleboom will list all my inactive followings — friends.
You can choose all and mass unfollow them with one click!
Step #4: A last notification should be confirmed.
You can take it back! So be careful what to do!
Now, let me give you a browser script that you can utilize to mass unfollow inactive Twitter accounts.
You can use this script to mass unfollow on X:
// Scroll to the bottom of the following list to load all accounts
function scrollToBottom(callback) {
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
setTimeout(() => {
if (document.body.scrollHeight !== window.scrollY + window.innerHeight) {
scrollToBottom(callback); // Keep scrolling
} else {
callback(); // When at bottom, execute the callback
}
}, 2000); // Adjust the time to allow page loading
}
// Unfollow users automatically
function unfollowUsers() {
const unfollowButtons = document.querySelectorAll('div[data-testid="unfollow"]');
let count = 0;
// Loop through all the unfollow buttons
unfollowButtons.forEach((button, index) => {
setTimeout(() => {
button.click(); // Click the unfollow button
count++;
console.log(`Unfollowed ${count} accounts.`);
}, index * 1500); // Delay each click to avoid Twitter detection
});
console.log(`Unfollowing ${unfollowButtons.length} accounts...`);
}
// Run the scroll first, then unfollow
scrollToBottom(unfollowUsers);
Steps to run the scripts
- Open Twitter and navigate to your Following list.
- Right-click anywhere on the page and choose Inspect to open the developer tools.
- Go to the Console tab.
- Paste the following script into the console and hit Enter.
Conclusion
You know there are two methods of mass unfollowing on Twitter: Circleboom and browser script.
Circleboom is the safest and the most effective way to mass unfollow inactive, fake, low-quality profiles.
You can also use a browser script but it has some risks. You can lose your account. There is always a risk of violating Twitter’s terms and policies.
