Instapy: Question: Session Unfollow User

[boldestfortune]

Wanted to get some clarification on the unfollow command. Does it unfollow accounts you have followed using the "session.follow_user_followers". Unless I missed something, I didn't see anything in the readme.

Thank you!

hi @boldestfortune
currently unfollow_users() feature has unfollow 3 methods

1. only unfollow users auto-followed by Instapy (_unfollows every user followed by InstaPy, regardless of feature it was followed in..._)

session.unfollow_users(amount=50, onlyInstapyFollowed=True, onlyNotFollowMe=False)

1. only unfollow users who are not following you (generally)

session.unfollow_users(amount=50, onlyInstapyFollowed=False, onlyNotFollowMe=True)

1. unfollow everybody (_whether follows you or not..._)

session.unfollow_users(amount=50, onlyInstapyFollowed=False, onlyNotFollowMe=False)

Thank you @uluQulu.
session.unfollow_users(amount=50, onlyInstapyFollowed=True, onlyNotFollowMe=True)

Will running unfollow in this config break the script?

[uluQulu]

For the example above,
according to the current state of unfollow() function in unfollow_util.py it will only execute onlyInstapyFollowed=True method and leave that unfollow_users() feature

You can actually get other results by changing conditional statements in unfollow() function
Currently there are 3 conditions, from top to down:

if onlyInstapyFollowed is True:

```python
elif onlyInstapyFollowed is False and onlyNotFollowMe is True:

```python
elif onlyNotFollowMe is not True:

And it returns a value only after checking all these conditions..
What you would like to achieve? @boldestfortune

[boldestfortune]

I see. Perhaps I'm confused. Say for example I want instapy to unfollow only the users that the script followed, which are not following me back, and not the users that i have personally followed, who are not following me back.

Does
session.unfollow_users(amount=50, onlyInstapyFollowed=False, onlyNotFollowMe=True)
achieve this?

[uluQulu]

Nope,

session.unfollow_users(amount=50, onlyInstapyFollowed=True, onlyNotFollowMe=False)

does it

Just keep onlyInstapyFollowed=True, it will not touch other methods even if they are True..

_i understand you, somehow, method names puzzled my mind at first, too_

[boldestfortune]

Great, Thanks for the clarification @uluQulu

This is an amazing script, so a big thanks to the devs & contributors. Keep up the great work.
