How to Mass Follow or Unfollow Twitter Users

Posted by Jonathan Kidder on July 8, 2018November 30, 2020

I have a love vs. hate relationship with Twitter. It’s a great place to reach out to a lot of users at once with content. However, there’s a lot of bots and sometimes it can be a time waster. If used correctly, it’s a great place to network and find potential leads for your roles. A Talent Sourcer job is never ending so when I discovered these Twitter hacks from a user on Github (Jamie Mason) and I was certainly impressed.

Here’s how to mass unfollow & follow twitter users using code:

How to unfollow those who don’t follow you back:

Login into Twitter
Go to the list following page: http://www.twitter.com/following
Open your browser console page (Press ctrl + shift + J)
Scroll down to the bottom page of your follower’s list.
Or, you can use this code to auto-scroll to the bottom:

setInterval(function() {
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
}, 2000)

6. Copy and Paste this code in the console:

$(‘.ProfileCard-content’).each(function(){
var status = $(this).find(‘.FollowStatus’).text();
var unfollowButton = $(this).find(‘.user-actions-follow-button’);
if(!status){unfollowButton.click();
}});

How to follow everyone on your list or someone elses Followers at once:

Follow steps 1-4
Copy and paste this code in the console:

__cnt__=0; jQuery(‘.Grid-cell .not-following .follow-text’).each(function (i, ele) { ele = jQuery(ele); if (ele.css(‘display’)!=’block’) {console.log(‘already following:’, i); return;} setTimeout(function () {ele.click();}, __cnt__++*500); });

How to unfollow everyone all at once:

Follow steps 1-4
Copy and paste this code in the console:

setInterval(function() {
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
}, 2000);
