Part of it, yes. Threads itself will not tell you who unfollowed you, but your own data export gives you a lot for free. The split is simple: one export shows you who does not follow you back at no cost, while seeing who actually *left* between two checks needs saved snapshots, which is the paid part.
What Threads Gives You Natively
Nothing here. Threads sends no notification when someone unfollows, and it has no screen listing who left. If you rely on the app alone, you will not know.
What You Get Free From One Export
Request your Threads export, upload the ZIP to WhoUnfollowed, and the free plan shows every account you follow that does not follow you back, with the date you followed them. There is no account to create and no password involved. It is the same non-follower list most people are after first.
What Needs Two Exports
An unfollower is a change over time, so one export cannot show one. To see who left, you compare an older export with a newer one: anyone in the old followers list who is missing from the new one unfollowed you in between. The free plan works one snapshot at a time. Keeping your snapshots so each new upload shows what changed is what Pro adds.
The Free DIY Route
You are not locked out if you do not want to pay. Keep your first export ZIP safe, request a new one later, and compare the two lists yourself. The files are plain JSON with usernames in them, so it works, but with a real following it is thousands of lines. The manual comparison method written for Instagram applies the same way.
Is It Safe to Use Either Way?
Yes. The export is your own data, and Meta provides it under GDPR Article 20. Reading it in your browser involves no login and no connection to your Threads account, so there is nothing for Meta to flag.
In Short
- Threads shows you nothing about who unfollowed you.
- One export, free: see who does not follow you back, no account needed.
- Who left between two checks needs two exports compared, which saved snapshots automate in Pro.
- Comparing two exports by hand is free, just slow.
Upload your Threads export and get the free list in about two minutes.
