This article explains how to find out which of your Instagram followers have unfollowed you. Given that Instagram administrators have inhibited access to their platform by all those apps designed to be able to automatically retrieve information of this type, the simplest and most effective way to trace people who no longer follow you is to manually examine Instagram followers list using mobile app or computer. Until April 2018, the "Follow Cop" app for Android devices allowed you to automatically track lost followers from the date of installation of the program. For iOS devices, however, there is no free application capable of recovering this information.
