What is UnFollowSpy and How to Use it?

Nowadays, follow and then unfollow tactic is quite popular in which people follow you on Twitter (or any other social media platform), then when you follow them back, they unfollow you.

For this, and to track your followers and unfollowers, you can use Unfollowspy. It is a 100% free social media management tool built only for Twitter (and Soundcloud).

This is not a new tool but possibly better than the other similar tools that lack many important features.

So let’s learn what exactly this tool is, and how you can use it…

What is UnfollowSpy?

As Twitter doesn’t provide anything to sort through the follower’s list (specifically difficult if you have thousands of followers and no data to play with), you can use a tool like Unfollowspy to cover the huge shortcomings of Twitter.
