See Who Unfollowed You on Twitter

While Twitter itself doesn’t tell you when you’ve been unfollowed, many other services fill that gap. Free apps like Statusbrew and WhoUnfollowedMe will list who unfollowed your personal account on a dashboard. If you need a business solution, you can upgrade to a paid account (or sign up with a premium service like Twitter Counter). Last, if you’d prefer to receive a daily email that contains a list of that day’s unfollowers, try a service like TwittaQuitta or Zebraboss.

Tips
