How do I follow or unfollow someone?
Tap Follow on someone's profile, on a post, or next to their name in search to follow them. To unfollow, open their profile and tap the Following button. Following is free and instant; unfollowing is silent.
Following someone adds their posts to your Following feed and helps VERGR recommend similar creators in your For You feed.
How to follow
- On a profile: tap the Follow button under their banner.
- On a post in your feed: tap Follow next to the poster's name.
- In search or Explore: tap Follow on their result row.
How to unfollow
- Open the person's profile.
- Tap the Following button (it shows you already follow them).
- Confirm if prompted. You will stop seeing their posts in your Following feed.
Private accounts
If someone has a private profile, tapping Follow sends a request they must approve before you can see their content.
Following and unfollowing do not send the other person an unfollow alert. A new follow does notify them.
