# Unfollow User

> Unfollow a user by their user ID

Removes the follow relationship between the authenticated user and the specified user. This is a convenience alternative to [Delete Follow](/api-reference/follows/delete-follow) — it looks up the follow record by user ID rather than requiring the follow ID.

## Path Parameters

<ParamField path="userId" type="string" required>
  The Replyke user ID (UUID) of the user to unfollow.
</ParamField>

## Response

On success, returns HTTP `204` with no body.

## Error Responses

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Not Following — 404">
    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "error": "Follow relationship does not exist.",
      "code": "follow/not-found"
    }
    ```
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
