How to Download Your Instagram ZIP

To use Insta Insight Hub to discover who unfollowed or ghosted you, you'll need to download your Instagram data ZIP file — but only the parts related to your Followers and Following. You can upload a single ZIP for instant insights, or download multiple ZIP files over time to use our compare feature and track changes.

⚠️ Always select JSON format and "All time"when exporting. Choosing HTML or limited dates may cause inaccurate results.
