Does SkedCast track followers?

Yes. SkedCast records the follower count of every connected account each night and charts follower growth on the dashboard; for Facebook Pages it also records the follows and unfollows each day. It shows counts, not the names of the people who unfollowed.

Why did my follower count drop?

People unfollowed, or X locked some of your followers’ accounts: X removes locked accounts from follower counts, so a count can fall without anyone choosing to leave.

Can I see who unfollowed me from a platform’s own app?

Not as a list of names. Instagram insights show how many followers you gained or lost over the past 90 days once you have 100 followers, and Facebook Page insights count unfollows; neither names them.

Is it safe to connect a third-party follower tracker?

It depends on the tool and the access it requests — one that only reads public follower data asks for less than one that also wants posting or messaging permissions, so check its requested scopes first.

How often should I check follower growth?

Weekly is usually enough to catch a real trend without over-reacting to daily noise, since a single day’s swing is rarely meaningful by itself.

What counts as a healthy follower growth rate?

It varies hugely by account size, platform and content type, so there is no single healthy number — track your own trend over time rather than comparing it to an outside benchmark.

Where do I calculate a growth rate once I have the numbers?

The follower growth calculator turns a starting count, an ending count and a period into a percentage growth rate automatically.

Twitter follower tracker: see who follows and unfollows

A Twitter (X) follower tracker records your follower count over time so you can see gains, losses and when they happened. X shows who follows you now and emails you about new followers; to see who left, compare your followers list over time. SkedCast records a follower count for every connected account each day and charts the growth.

Can you see who unfollowed you on X?

Not directly. X shows how many people follow you and who they are, and by default emails you when someone new follows, but it does not list who left. The other networks are the same: they show counts and, at most, how many people unfollowed, never their names.

What each platform shows about your followers (help pages and API docs, read 6 November 2026)
Platform	What it shows	Names who unfollowed
X	Your follower count and the list of who follows you; an email when someone new follows	No
Instagram	Followers gained or lost over up to 90 days, once you have 100 followers	No
Facebook Page	Follows and unfollows per day, week or 28 days in Page insights	No
TikTok	Your follower count	No
Bluesky	Your follower count and list, public to anyone through its API	No

Followers gained and lost, day by day.

How do you track followers on X without an app?

Write down your follower count at the same time each day or week; two counts and a date are enough to see a trend, and the follower growth calculator turns them into a rate. When you need names, save a copy of your followers list and compare it with a later one: anyone missing has unfollowed or been locked. A monthly log fits straight into the monthly social media report template.

Tracking followers in four steps.

How to track follower growth and spot unfollowers

Start with the platform’s own count. Every major platform shows a live follower or subscriber total on the profile itself — check this first before adding any other tool.
Log the count on a schedule. Record the number weekly or monthly in a spreadsheet, or the monthly social media report template, so you have a real trend rather than a single snapshot.
Compare the list when you need names. A count shows how many people left, not who. To find names, compare your followers list with an earlier copy, or use a tracker that does it for you, at the cost of giving it access to your account.
Check what access a tracker actually requests. A tool that only reads public follower data asks for less than one that also wants posting or messaging permissions, so compare the requested scopes before connecting anything.
Turn the trend into a rate. Feed a starting count, an ending count and a period into the follower growth calculator to get a percentage growth rate you can compare month to month.

What does it look like in practice?

A 10,000 to 10,450 month

An account growing from 10,000 to 10,450 followers in a month has a net gain of 450 and a 4.5% growth rate — the follower growth calculator turns exactly this pair of numbers into that rate.

Reading an unfollow spike

A tracker showing 80 new follows and 65 unfollows in one week has a net gain of only 15 — the net number, not the raw follow count, is what a real growth trend should chart.

Why does a follower count go down?

Two reasons. People unfollow, and platforms remove accounts: X takes locked accounts out of every follower count, so your number can fall without anyone choosing to leave. Meta defines a Page’s follower count as follows minus unfollows, so a day with more unfollows than follows shows as a drop even when new people joined. Look at follows and unfollows separately before deciding a post lost you followers.

How does SkedCast track follower growth?

SkedCast records the follower count of every connected account each night and charts follower growth across all of them on the dashboard, so the history starts the day you connect and you never log a number by hand. For Facebook Pages it also records each day’s follows and unfollows, so you can see which way people moved. It records counts, not the names of people who unfollowed. See social media analytics for every metric it collects.
