How to Mass Unfollow on X (Twitter) in 2025: The Safe Way
Stop manually clicking 'unfollow' one by one. Learn how to clean up your X feed instantly using safe, local automation tools.
Maintaining a healthy X (formerly Twitter) feed is crucial for productivity. Over time, we all accumulate follows—accounts that no longer post relevant content, bots, or simply noise that clogs up your timeline.
Manually unfollowing hundreds or thousands of accounts is tedious. You have to click, confirm, and repeat. It takes hours.
In this guide, we'll show you how to automate this process safely using X Unfollow Pro, a browser extension that runs locally on your machine.
Why Manual Unfollowing Doesn't Work
Twitter's interface is designed for deliberate, single actions. It's not built for bulk management. If you try to unfollow too many people too quickly manually, you might even get flagged for spam-like behavior because the platform detects repetitive manual clicks.
The Solution: Local Automation
Using a dedicated tool like X Unfollow Pro allows you to:
- Filter with Precision: Don't just wipe everyone. Filter by "Not following you back," inactive accounts (haven't posted in X months), or keywords in their bio.
- Whitelist Important Accounts: Protect your friends and favorite creators so they never get unfollowed by accident.
- Run in Background: Set it up and let it run while you do other work.
Step 1: Install the Extension
First, you'll need to install the extension. It works directly in your Chrome browser, meaning your cookies and session data stay local. No need to give your password to a third-party server.
Step 2: Scan Your Following List
Once installed, navigate to your "Following" page on X. Open the extension sidebar. It will automatically detect your session and allow you to load your following list.
Step 3: Apply Filters
This is the power move. Instead of unfollowing everyone:
- Select "Not Following Back" to remove one-way relationships.
- Use the "Inactive" filter to find users who haven't tweeted in over 6 months.
Step 4: Mass Unfollow
Click "Start Unfollow." The extension will process the list, simulating human behavior to stay within safety limits (e.g., waiting a few seconds between actions).
Conclusion
Your time is valuable. Don't waste it on manual maintenance. Automate your social graph cleanup and get back to engaging with the content that actually matters.
