Introduction
If you are an avid Twitter user then you will probably be following a long list of accounts. But what happen’s if you want to unfollow of load of accounts without having to keep clicking on the Unfollow button?
We used to be able to use Google Chrome Console to carry out this task for us, but it looks like Twitter have put a stop to that functionality now.
Well, you can use iMacros to do the job for you.
Like everything with social media, you have to be careful not to get banned if they suspect you of using robots, but this iMacro script puts in different timings to make it look more natural. But on the other hand, don’t just sent it off and leave it to run, try about 50 unfollows at a time.
The process is simple. Install the iMacro extension for Google Chrome. Then login to the Twitter account that you want to unfollow accounts on. Then click on the Google Chrome extension for iMacro and either create a new iMacro or edit an existing one.

I recently unfollowed everyone on one of my accounts, which was around 3000 people and I had done it within 24 hours without getting banned from Twitter!
