💡 Tips
⚡
Select only "Followers and following" — the more data you request, the longer it takes. Selecting just this one section makes it arrive in minutes.
🗂️
Always use JSON format — not HTML. The HTML version can't be parsed by this app.
⚠️
Some results may be deleted accounts — if a profile says "page not available" when you tap View, that person deleted their account rather than unfollowing you.
❓ FAQ
Is my data safe?
Yes. Your Instagram export files stay on your device and are processed locally in your browser. Ghosted never asks for your password, never logs into Instagram, and never uses the Instagram API to access your account.
Will Instagram ban me for this?
No. You are only using Instagram’s official export tool to download your own data. Ghosted does not log into your account or perform actions through the Instagram API.
Do you store my Instagram files?
No. Your Instagram export files are processed locally in your browser and are not stored by Ghosted for analysis.
Do I need an account to use Ghosted?
No account, no signup, no email needed. After payment you get a unique unlock code — your browser remembers it automatically, and you can use the same code to unlock Ghosted on any other device. One-time purchase, no subscription.
What if I lose my unlock code?
No problem. Send a message via the feedback form with the email you used at Stripe checkout — your code will be recovered and sent back to you within 24 hours.
How often should I do this?
Once a month is enough for most people. Request a fresh export, upload it, and compare your results over time.
Why are there deleted accounts in my list?
If someone deleted or deactivated their account, Instagram can temporarily leave them in your following data while removing them from your followers. That can look similar to an unfollower.
