How to Find Out When Someone Unfollows You on Twitter
The social media network Twitter allows you to customize your account so you will receive an email notification when another account follows you. However, if you are an individual or business interested in knowing when someone unfollows you on Twitter, you must use third-party applications. You can sign up for free apps that will monitor your follower activity and send you emails or tweets when you lose followers.
