How do I approve new followers?
By default, anyone who can see your profile can follow you. You can choose to approve each new follower first:
- Go to your privacy settings
- In the "Following" section, check "New followers must be approved first"
From then on, when someone wants to follow you, you'll get a follow request on your Requests page. Learn more in How do I accept or ignore a friend or follow request?
Your friends can still follow you without a request.
If you don't want anyone other than your friends to follow you, uncheck "Allow members to follow me" in the same section.
