You might not have known it, but there are increasingly effective follower management apps, especially for Instagram.

Indeed, Instagram has become one of the most powerful social media platforms with over 800 million monthly active users. 

Instagram’s native app does not provide easy ways to manage followers and keep track of who is actively following us, inactive fans and so-called ‘Ghosts’ followers, so developers have created many apps to discover this data.

Apps to check Instagram followers give up-to-date information on the number of followers being added or deleted, statistics on various activities on the social network and much more.

But are follower management apps complicated to use?

Most follower management apps are simple (and free) and can help you improve your marketing strategy by optimising your results.

Let’s discover the most used (and intuitive) ones below:

• Unfollowers
• Repost
• Follower Analyzer
• FastSave

Unfollowers 

Unfollowers is the Android app that, thanks to the constant monitoring of followers and interactions generated by one’s own content, allows you to find out which users (known as ‘Ghosts‘) have not interacted with any of our most recent posts despite following us.

It is however worth remembering that, for some time now, Instagram’s algorithm no longer shows posts in chronological order, so the lack of interaction by some users could simply be the result of a content distribution logic that penalises the visibility of certain posts, excluding them from the news feed.

Repost

Repost is one of those apps that cannot be missed if you use Instagram, because it allows you to repost your followers’ content.

Repost for Instagram is very easy to use: the graphic interface is intuitive and allows you to understand how it works right from the first time you log in. To repost content, simply click on the icon with the three dots at the top right of an Instagram post and choose “Copy URL to share” and then go to the app and paste it into the space provided.

With this application you will be able to monitor the behaviour of your followers on Instagram (in the Pro version) and repost their content.

Follower Analyzer

Follower Analyzer is another application that allows you to check Instagram followers and know how your followers behave on the social network.

Functions include knowing who is following us and who is not, keeping track of new followers and finding mutual friends; finding out which followers did not like a comment and which did, knowing who are the people who follow the profile the most and interact under posts; knowing which people leave more comments, which are the least active, and having general information on the liking of one’s own posts and those of others.

By activating GPS, it is also possible to know what people near you are posting.

FastSave

This app can be run in the background. Whenever an Instagram URL is copied, the app in question will automatically download the photo or video directly to our mobile phone.

Before proceeding, however, remember that downloading photos from Instagram is something that can only be done for strictly personal purposes and in good faith.

If Instagram does not allow you to save other users’ photos at the touch of a button, it is to protect the original user’s privacy and copyright. If you want to save Instagram photos on your device for commercial or sharing purposes, or ‘repost’ a piece of content then, you will need to contact the user and ask permission to use their photo, or cite the source.

The only way to avoid problems is to refer back to the original post in the caption: this way you will not run any risk of breaking the rules.

Apps are a valuable tool if used correctly to repost (Repost), preserve (FastSave) the shots and videos that have impressed you most and to optimise your following (Unfollowers).

The advice is always to ask yourself what you would like to see on Instagram and what value you want to convey to those who will follow you: keep your goal clear and make good use of our tips to achieve it!
