Hi, I logged into my twitter account last week after a couple of months. I am not a regular user of twitter,i had
been following 10/12 accounts on twitter since the beginning.
When i logged into my account i saw a huge list of tweets most of them in Chinese/Arabic. I was very surprised
to see those tweets. I had never followed such accounts. I knew somehow they got followed automatically.
I search this on the google and found that there could be some application that is allowed and following random people on
behalf of my account. I logged into my account and went to the URL "https://twitter.com/settings/applications",
there was a suspicious app (naming "Competition...."). I revoked its access.
Now i have got a long list of following that i wanted to unfollow. But twitter does not allow you to "Bulk Unfollow" accounts.
I searched for a solution online and found a website "http://iunfollow.com/", that allow you to log into your account and
unfollow by clicking on each account. Again it was not a feasible solution to do.
Then i found a small hack, may be it is of some use to anyone who ran into this problem.
so you have got yourself a long list of unwanted/spam following on twitter.
Please follow the below steps to unfollow all twitter accounts.
You have to use Google Chrome on PC for this.

Please follow the below steps to unfollow all twitter accounts.
You have to use Google Chrome on PC for this.
- Go to "https://twitter.com/" and log into your account.
- Click on your profile image to go to your profile.
- Click on "Following" and you will see a list of following accounts. You can go to "https://twitter.com/following" to avoid step 2.
- Scroll down to the very end of following list, until there is no more down scroll.
- Press F12 and it will bring up the "Developer tools" window of google chrome, on developer tools click on "Console" tab.
- Paste the following script in the Console tab without double quotes.
"var elems=document.getElementsByClassName("button-text following-text");
for(i=0;i<elems.length;i++){elems[i].parentNode.click();}" - Press enter button and wait for a minute. Now refresh your "https://twitter.com/following" page and there will be no following. All removed. (clap)
