See comments section for more up-to-date versions of the script. The original script is from 2014 and will not work as is.
Facebook will block this feature for you while you use it, depending on how much entities you try to unfollow. It automatically unblocks in a couple of hours and you will be able to continue.
| var unfollowButtons = document.querySelectorAll('[data-followed="1"]'); for(var i=0;i<unfollowButtons.length;i++){ unfollowButtons[i].click(); } alert(unfollowButtons.length+' people are now unfollowed! '); |
this seems to work (even as a toggle)
document.querySelectorAll('[aria-label="Toggle to follow"]').forEach(i=>i.click())
My page is in English.
I entered [https://www.facebook.com/{USER}/following], then I pressed F12, click Console, it then popped up as follows (read link appears as follows):-
Then, I tried to enter
"document.querySelectorAll('[aria-label="Toggle to follow"]').forEach(i=>i.click())"
But still appears what shown as follows:-
I even tried every single comment mentioned above but none of it was unable to allow me to unfollow everyone, all at once.
It might take me hours if I have to unfollow everyone, one by one.
@COFFEEHOLIC47 I wrote a comment 6 days ago to unfollow all users. What was the result?
Hi BookOfCooks,
It popped up
"
Promise {: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'parentElement')
at :3:59
at …}"
@COFFEEHOLIC47 gotta get to the place in facebook UI where you see the actual modal w/ the checkboxes that you would otherwise click each unfollow button - then right click and inspect one of the unfollow buttons - you might need to alter the selector.
This pop-up after run the scripts!
Really appreciate this masterpiece scripts would save times and lives! Thank you @BookOfCooks, hope you could release the update new scripts soon.
+100 Respect
@mursman @Revenant4 @victorlin I wrote a script that I think will solve your problem. Just make sure before you run it, you scroll down the list of followed pages as long as you can, in order for it to reach all the users. Here's the script (and yes, a human being typed it all up, sorta):
Only tested in Desktop Chrome and intended on the page: https://www.facebook.com/{username}/following
var __awaiter = (this && this.__awaiter) || function (thisArg, _arguments, P, generator) { function adopt(value) { return value instanceof P ? value : new P(function (resolve) { resolve(value); }); } return new (P || (P = Promise))(function (resolve, reject) { function fulfilled(value) { try { step(generator.next(value)); } catch (e) { reject(e); } } function rejected(value) { try { step(generator["throw"](value)); } catch (e) { reject(e); } } function step(result) { result.done ? resolve(result.value) : adopt(result.value).then(fulfilled, rejected); } step((generator = generator.apply(thisArg, _arguments || [])).next()); }); }; var __generator = (this && this.__generator) || function (thisArg, body) { var _ = { label: 0, sent: function() { if (t[0] & 1) throw t[1]; return t[1]; }, trys: [], ops: [] }, f, y, t, g; return g = { next: verb(0), "throw": verb(1), "return": verb(2) }, typeof Symbol === "function" && (g[Symbol.iterator] = function() { return this; }), g; function verb(n) { return function (v) { return step([n, v]); }; } function step(op) { if (f) throw new TypeError("Generator is already executing."); while (_) try { if (f = 1, y && (t = op[0] & 2 ? y["return"] : op[0] ? y["throw"] || ((t = y["return"]) && t.call(y), 0) : y.next) && !(t = t.call(y, op[1])).done) return t; if (y = 0, t) op = [op[0] & 2, t.value]; switch (op[0]) { case 0: case 1: t = op; break; case 4: _.label++; return { value: op[1], done: false }; case 5: _.label++; y = op[1]; op = [0]; continue; case 7: op = _.ops.pop(); _.trys.pop(); continue; default: if (!(t = _.trys, t = t.length > 0 && t[t.length - 1]) && (op[0] === 6 || op[0] === 2)) { _ = 0; continue; } if (op[0] === 3 && (!t || (op[1] > t[0] && op[1] < t[3]))) { _.label = op[1]; break; } if (op[0] === 6 && _.label < t[1]) { _.label = t[1]; t = op; break; } if (t && _.label < t[2]) { _.label = t[2]; _.ops.push(op); break; } if (t[2]) _.ops.pop(); _.trys.pop(); continue; } op = body.call(thisArg, _); } catch (e) { op = [6, e]; y = 0; } finally { f = t = 0; } if (op[0] & 5) throw op[1]; return { value: op[0] ? op[1] : void 0, done: true }; } }; var _this = this; (function () { return __awaiter(_this, void 0, void 0, function () { var selectors, friends, i, friend, followBtn, likedBtn, error_1; var _a, _b; return __generator(this, function (_c) { switch (_c.label) { case 0: selectors = getSelectors(); friends = document.querySelector(selectors.friendList).children; i = 0; _c.label = 1; case 1: if (!(i < friends.length)) return [3 /*break*/, 11]; _c.label = 2; case 2: _c.trys.push([2, 9, , 10]); friend = friends[i]; simulateMousedown(friend.querySelector("img")); return [4 /*yield*/, wait(1000)]; case 3: _c.sent(); followBtn = document.querySelector(selectors.followingBtn); likedBtn = document.querySelector(selectors.likedBtn); (_a = (followBtn || likedBtn)) === null || _a === void 0 ? void 0 : _a.click(); return [4 /*yield*/, wait(200)]; case 4: _c.sent(); // Press "Unfollow" Option getUnfollowTab().click(); return [4 /*yield*/, wait(100)]; case 5: _c.sent(); // Press "Unlike this page" if option exists (_b = getUnlikeThisPageSwitch()) === null || _b === void 0 ? void 0 : _b.click(); return [4 /*yield*/, wait(100)]; case 6: _c.sent(); // Press Update document.querySelector(selectors.updateBtn).click(); return [4 /*yield*/, wait(2000)]; case 7: _c.sent(); // Dismiss Dialog document.body.click(); return [4 /*yield*/, wait(500)]; case 8: _c.sent(); return [3 /*break*/, 10]; case 9: error_1 = _c.sent(); console.error(error_1); return [3 /*break*/, 10]; case 10: i++; return [3 /*break*/, 1]; case 11: return [2 /*return*/]; } }); }); })(); function wait(milliseconds) { return __awaiter(this, void 0, void 0, function () { return __generator(this, function (_a) { return [2 /*return*/, new Promise(function (resolve) { setTimeout(function () { resolve(null); }, milliseconds); })]; }); }); } function simulateMousedown(targetNode) { function triggerMouseEvent(targetNode, eventType) { var clickEvent = document.createEvent("MouseEvents"); clickEvent.initEvent(eventType, true, true); targetNode.dispatchEvent(clickEvent); } ["mouseover", "mousedown"].forEach(function (eventType) { triggerMouseEvent(targetNode, eventType); }); } function getSelectors() { return { friendList: "[class=\"alzwoclg jl2a5g8c o7bt71qk sl27f92c\"]", followingBtn: "[aria-label=\"Following\"]", likedBtn: "[aria-label=\"Liked\"]", updateBtn: "[aria-label=\"Update\"]" }; } function getUnfollowTab() { var xpath = "//span[text()='Unfollow']"; var matchingElement = document.evaluate(xpath, document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue; return matchingElement; } function getUnlikeThisPageSwitch() { var xpath = "//span[text()='Unlike this Page']"; var matchingElement = document.evaluate(xpath, document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue; return matchingElement; }
@COFFEEHOLIC47 @pgbnguyen @kevindashgit I wrote a new script that unlike pages/users (unfollow will take another script, hopefully someone else does it). To use it:
The benefit of using the Activity Log is you can unlike deleted/inactive pages, which you can't do in https://www.facebook.com/{username}/following
Then run this script (I can make it much more performant later):
(async () => {
var logs = document.querySelectorAll(selectors().log);
for (let i = 0; i < logs.length; i++) {
try {
const logElement = logs[i];
logElement.querySelector(selectors().moreActions).click();
await wait(1500);
document
.querySelector(selectors().unlikeBtn)
.firstChild.firstChild.click();
await wait(500);
i--;
}
catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
}
})();
function selectors() {
return {
log: `[class="om3e55n1 jl2a5g8c alzwoclg"]`,
moreActions: `[aria-label="Action options"]`,
unlikeBtn: `[role="menu"] [class="alzwoclg cqf1kptm cgu29s5g om3e55n1"]`,
};
}
function wait(milliseconds) {
return new Promise((resolve) => {
setTimeout(() => {
resolve(null);
}, milliseconds);
});
}

Happy Coding!
This Keeping showing up what should I do?
@zeeatsh Try the latest solution in this thread, and see if that helps you.
@zeeatsh Try the latest solution in this thread, and see if that helps you.
AWESOME!!! it worked ... But What about unfollowing all the friends do you have any codes for that? ,,, and thank you for the latest solution
@zeeatsh I'm glad the script worked for you. However, unfortunately, I see no way to unfollow/unfriend friends from the activity log. It may be possible from public profile page, but it would be a pain to create and maintain considering how Facebook CSS classes are minified. I mean, what is this?
There's no gaurentee these classes will remain consistent for more than two days. I wrote a script for me that worked that day, two days later, everything is broken. Point being, this sort of task may have to be done with an application made by C# that uses Facebook APIs. Hopefully, someone creates that soon.
Hi BookOfCooks,
I did what your advice and it popped up "Promise {: undefined}", also appears as follows (read at the bottom on the right-hand corner):-
After I entered,
const promise1 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
resolve('Success!');
});
promise1.then((value) => {
console.log(value);
// expected output: "Success!"
});
it then became
Success!
Promise {: undefined}
But when I entered again what you provided to us, it came back same message, appears as follow:-
Promise {: undefined}
@COFFEEHOLIC47 It's because you have no liked pages ("Nothing to show" is said in the screenshot). In other words, the script worked, it just didn't do anything because there's nothing to do. If you're trying to unfriend/unfollow friends (not pages), I don't have a working script for that, and as I told [zeeatsh] in my latest reply, I have no possible way of doing it with Javascript (at least, as far as I am aware of).
i run the script today, not working anymore, hope there will be updates soon
@cosmoshiki did you try the latest solution in this thread?
@cosmoshiki did you try the latest solution in this thread?
@boc-github-user
Is there a ready-made script that can currently unfollow all the "https://www.facebook.com/{username}/following" page?
I don't understand what the final solution is. For this reason, I cannot apply the last solution step.
@busonolsun No there isn't. You have to use the activity log, here's the steps: (this can also work for you @cosmoshiki )
The benefit of using the Activity Log is you can unlike deleted/inactive pages, which you can't do in https://www.facebook.com/{username}/following because Facebook ciphers the css classes.
Then run this script (I can make it much more performant later):
(async () => {

i--;

catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}

function selectors() {
return {

@busonolsun No there isn't. You have to use the activity log, here's the steps: (this can also work for you @cosmoshiki )
1. Open Facebook > Open your profile ([https://www.facebook.com/{username}](https://www.facebook.com/%7Busername%7D)) 2. On the right-hand side, click the "..." button > Activity Log 3. Go to Connections > Pages, page likes and interests 4. Scroll down as far down as you can (this ensures the script unlikes everything)The benefit of using the Activity Log is you can unlike deleted/inactive pages, which you can't do in https://www.facebook.com/{username}/following because Facebook ciphers the css classes.
Then run this script (I can make it much more performant later):
(async () => { var logs = document.querySelectorAll(selectors().log); for (let i = 0; i < logs.length; i++) { try { const logElement = logs[i]; logElement.querySelector(selectors().moreActions).click(); await wait(1500); document .querySelector(selectors().unlikeBtn) .firstChild.firstChild.click(); await wait(500); i--; } catch (error) { console.log(error); } } })(); function selectors() { return { log: `[class="om3e55n1 jl2a5g8c alzwoclg"]`, moreActions: `[aria-label="Action options"]`, unlikeBtn: `[role="menu"] [class="alzwoclg cqf1kptm cgu29s5g om3e55n1"]`, }; } function wait(milliseconds) { return new Promise((resolve) => { setTimeout(() => { resolve(null); }, milliseconds); }); } //# sourceMappingURL=index.js.map
Promise {: undefined}
DevTools failed to load source map: Could not load content for https://www.facebook.com/672527969/index.js.map: HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE_FAILURE
@busonolsun remove the last line: //# sourceMappingURL=index.js.map
Great script
in https://www.facebook.com/{username}/following there are a list of people and pages
a person has an "add friend" button in front it's name
Can someone tune this script so that it only unfollow the persons in that following list?
Can anyone give me the updated script that will unfollow all the following people from Facebook? Cause all the above scripts don't work anymore.
+1
The script I posted a while back still works, just run it from within chrome/firefox dev tools console.
document.querySelectorAll('[aria-label="Toggle to follow"]').forEach(i=>i.click())
This script assumes that you are using a web browser to access the social media platform, specifically revealing the list of people you wanna unfollow. You can execute this script by opening the developer console in your browser while on the social media website, and then pasting and running the code.
**Hello, this script is completely functional; also added auto scroll after every unfollow. the code isn't perfect, but it gets the job done. ❤️
1 - Goto https://www.facebook.com/YourUserName/following
2 - Scroll down a bit and you'll be able to see all your followings.
3 - press CMND + OPTION + C to open console(for macbook), paste the code. and see magic.

@arrio3107 Here I am getting no response while I wad trying the code you provided earlier. Put the screen shot for your attention...
@mdnayemhossain Which browser you are using?. Check that you are on the right page, as I mentioned earlier, you should be doing this on your following page where all your followings are showing.
@arrio3107 I'm using the google chrome browser and yeah I was on the following page that you've mentioned but it showed me the above-mentioned error, unfortunately. Thanks in advance...
@hoangkhanglun The problem is, the script searches for element by using the XPath text() selector (ex: //span[text()='Unlike this Page']). But on your side, facebook isn't in English, it's in... korean dialects (sorry, I have no idea)? Update your facebook settings to use English, then try again.
You can revert it back to your native language after the script finishes. Here's the instructions (even though google could easily provide that):
