Common Issues While Exporting Data:

After you request to download data from Instagram, the platform sends a ZIP file that usually contains JSON files with your followers and following lists. Here are some errors that may occur while exporting the Instagram data zip file:

1: Email not received:

Meta Platforms usually sends the download link within 24 to 48 hours. If you don’t see it, check the spam or promotions folder. Also confirm that the email address linked to your account is correct.

2: Data Downloaded in HTML:

By default, Instagram sets HTML format instead of JSON. Downloaded data in HTML format is not acceptable to upload to unfollowers.

3: Missing Followers or Following Data:

Instagram creates a snapshot of your account at the moment the export is generated. If someone follows or unfollows you after that moment, the change will not appear in the file. In that case, request a fresh data export from Instagram.

4: File too big to download.

Do not export all data just select followers and following data to download

5: Unfollowers Tracker not working:

If a tool does not accept the file, make sure you are uploading the original zip file downloaded from Instagram. Do not rename or modify the internal JSON files.
