Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/alexal1/Insomniac/issues/152

When running this command for unfollowing non-followers:
python3 insomniac.py --unfollow-non-follower 12 --device xxxxxxx
I get this output and the instagram app closes and no unfollowings are done.

-------- START: 2020-10-24 11:35:54.720814 --------
[10/24 11:35:54] Open Instagram app
[10/24 11:35:55] Sleep for 3 seconds
[10/24 11:35:58] Press profile
[10/24 11:36:02] Sleep for 3 seconds

[10/24 11:36:11] No username, thus the script won't get access to interacted users and sessions data

[10/24 11:36:11] Unfollow 12 non followers

[10/24 11:36:28] No followings were iterated, finish.
[10/24 11:36:28] Unfollowed 0, finish.
[10/24 11:36:28] Close Instagram app

I am using Insomniac v2.2.8 and the latest instagram app update. How can I make this command work?

@sepi2048 Were this non-followers followed by Insomniac script?
As you can see on its usage ''Only users followed by this script will be unfollowed.''

@sepi2048 and what about simple --unfollow? Does it work on your device?

A lot of unfollow-enhancements been added on v3.6.0 & 3.5.0. Please update and re-open if the issue is still there
