Mass unfollow users on Instagram (no app needed)

Go to your profile on instagram.com (sign in if not already)
Click on XXX following for the popup with the users you're following to appear
Open Chrome Devtools and Paste the following into the Console and hit return:

(async function(){
  const UNFOLLOW_LIMIT = 800
  const delay = (ms) => new Promise(_ => setTimeout(_, ms))
  const findButton = (txt) => [...document.querySelectorAll("button").entries()].map(([pos, btn]) => btn).filter(btn => btn.innerHTML === txt)[0]

  console.log("Start")
  for (let i = 0; i < UNFOLLOW_LIMIT; i++) {
    const $next = findButton("Following")          
    if (!$next) { continue }
    $next.scrollIntoViewIfNeeded()  
    $next.click()
    await delay(100)
    $confirm = findButton("Unfollow")    
    if ($confirm) {
      $confirm.click()
    }

    await delay(20 * 1000) // Wait 20s, 200 unfollows per hour limit
    console.log(`Unfollowed #${i}`)
  }

  console.log("The end")
})()

This script made with ai and tested by me works very fine!!

var DELAY_AFTER_CLICK = 300;

return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
