Dealing with Deactivated Accounts

Instagram's export files may not specify if an account has been deleted or deactivated. If you notice a "ghost" account in your lists that no longer exists, you can click the Ghost icon next to their name to manually mark them as deactivated. The app will remember your hidden accounts for future visits (in this browser)!

Analyze Followers

Compare your followers and following lists to discover who isn't following you back, identify fans, and mutual connections.
