How to bulk unfollow on X (Twitter)
X gives third-party apps no bulk-unfollow endpoint, and it rate-limits how fast anyone can unfollow. So the part worth automating isn't the tapping — it's the finding. This tool builds the list; you clear it at your own pace, on X, with no app ever holding permission to change your account.
Enter your @handle
Type your X username above and run the free check. We read your 100 most recent follows from X's public data — no login, no connected account, nothing installed.
See the dead accounts you follow
We show up to ten accounts from that sample that have stopped posting, never posted, or are gone — each with how long it's been silent.
Unfollow them on X
Open each profile from the list and tap Unfollow. X has no bulk-unfollow API for third-party apps, so the tap is always yours — which also means no app ever gets write access to your account.
Check your whole following list
Connect your X account in Postory to run the full check across everyone you follow — dead accounts, bot-shaped accounts and who doesn't follow you back, in one ranked list.
What counts as an inactive account
Five things quietly clutter a following list. The free check finds the first three; the full check adds the rest.
Gone quiet
Hasn't posted in over 30 days. Still in your feed's budget, contributing nothing to it.
Never posted
An account with zero posts on record. Usually a bulk-registered follow-farm account or one abandoned on day one.
Suspended or deleted
The account is gone from X but still sits in your following list, quietly inflating your following count.
Bot-shaped
Follows thousands, is followed by almost nobody. The ratio that says follow-farm rather than audience. Flagged in the full check.
Doesn't follow back
You follow them, they don't follow you. Not a reason to unfollow on its own — but useful to see next to everything above.
We deliberately don't count protected accounts as inactive. X doesn't publish their activity, and calling someone dead because we couldn't see them would be a wrong accusation about a person who never asked to be on this page.
Free check vs full following check
Free — no login
Reads the 100accounts you most recently followed and shows up to ten that have gone silent, never posted, or disappeared. Works on any public handle, yours or anyone else's. One check a day.
Full check — connected account
Reads everyone you follow and ranks them worst-first: dead accounts, bot-shaped ratios, suspended accounts and who never followed you back. Priced per account and quoted as an upper bound before you start — the bill can only come in lower.
X doesn't let third-party apps unfollow on your behalf, and we never ask for permission to change your account. We build the list — you tap unfollow.
Frequently asked questions
How can I remove inactive Twitter accounts?
There is no bulk-unfollow button on X and no API that lets an app do it for you. What you can automate is the finding: run your handle above and we'll show the dead accounts in your 100 most recent follows, then open each one and tap Unfollow. The full check does the same across your whole following list.
Is there a way to mass unfollow accounts on Twitter?
Not in one click — X exposes no bulk-unfollow endpoint to third-party tools, so anything promising it is either a browser extension clicking buttons on your behalf (which risks rate limits and account flags) or overstating what it does. The safe version is a ranked list you work through yourself, which is what this tool builds.
Is there a free tool to unfollow people on Twitter?
This checker is free and needs no login: one check a day shows the dead accounts in your most recent follows. Its own daily allowance, separate from our shadowban tests. Checking your entire following list needs a connected account and credits, because it reads every account you follow.
Can you bulk unfollow on X?
You can unfollow quickly by hand, but not in bulk through an app. X rate-limits follow and unfollow actions, and aggressive unfollowing is one of the behaviour patterns associated with reach restrictions — so working through a ranked list at a normal pace is both the only option and the safer one.
How do I clear my Twitter following list?
Start with the accounts that give you nothing back: silent, never-posted and suspended accounts. This tool ranks exactly those first, so you clear the dead weight without unfollowing people you actually read.
Will unfollowing inactive accounts get my X account limited?
Unfollowing a reasonable number of accounts is normal behaviour. Unfollowing hundreds in a few minutes is not — X rate-limits it, and rapid mass follow/unfollow cycling is a well-documented spam signal. Spread it over days rather than minutes, which is another reason we hand you a list instead of a button.
Check whether X is already limiting your reachDo I need to log in with X to check my following list?
Not for the free check — your following list is public on X, so entering a handle is enough, and it works on any public account, not just your own. The full check across everyone you follow needs a connected account, but even then Postory only ever reads: we hold no permission to post, follow or unfollow.
What counts as an inactive or dead account?
An account that hasn't posted in more than 30 days, has never posted at all, or no longer exists. We deliberately don't count protected accounts as dead — X doesn't publish their activity, and calling someone dead because we couldn't see them would be a wrong accusation.
Can I remove my Twitter followers with this?
No — and it's worth separating the two, because search results mix them up constantly. This tool works on your FOLLOWING list: the accounts you follow. Removing a follower is a different action (block, then unblock) and X offers no bulk version of that either.
How much does checking my whole following list cost?
It's priced per account, so it depends on how many people you follow — the tool quotes the exact number before you start, and it's an upper bound, not an estimate that can grow. New accounts get 50 free credits on signup, which is enough to try it on a slice of your list.

Your following list is a budget. Stop spending it on accounts that left.
The full check reads everyone you follow and ranks them worst-first: silent accounts, never-posted accounts, suspended accounts, follow-farm ratios, and the people who never followed you back. You decide who goes.
