Hello @mr-ravicii I still having problems unfollowing. I got : 'user'! ~user is inaccessible I am not sure if I am doing something wrong. What should I change in my code? In the other hand, where can I find unfollow example py files? I am new here and I am not sure I am doing well. Thanks |

Instagram made significant changes to their XPATH structure a couple of weeks ago. This pull request summarises the fixes I've identified which works for me.
## Description
Following Instagram updated their XPATH structures a few weeks ago, these fixes enable basic functionality to follow / unfollow public and private profiles and like images of public profiles. Full disclaimer - I started using InstaPy two weeks ago, but I am familiar with the XPATH language for other web scraping projects. The script runs fine on my end with these changes.
Fixes # (issue)
Could not find followers' link for ....Grabbed 0 usernames from 'username' ...--> Couldn't unfollow 'user'! ~user is inaccessibleHey! Last follow is not verified out of an unexpected[unable to find image links when interacting with target users] (don't remember the error message)
[unable to retrieve follower of a target user] (don't remember the error message)
## How Has This Been Tested?
I tested the bot after every change to see if it fixed the error listed above. It seems some other users have successfully implemented these changes too. Full disclaimer - I have no warnings running the script now, but some people are still having issues as mentioned in the "issues" section. I suspect further changes are required to fully adjust the InstaPy module to accommodate the recent Instagram changes.
