Want to know how to allow followers on your Facebook page?

If you want to understand more about how followers work on Facebook, and how you can allow them, then you’re in the right place.

Let’s dive in.

First things first. You don’t need to allow your friends to follow you. That happens automatically.

But you can allow people who are not your friends on FB to follow you.

How you do that will depend on what device you are using, so we’re going to take you through the steps for allowing followers on android, iPhone and via desktop/laptop.

1. Download and open the FB app.
2. Hit the burger (3 horizontal lines) on the top right of your FB page.
3. Scroll down and tap “account settings”.

Scroll down and tap “public posts”.

1. You should now see the “who can follow me?” page. Tap “public”.
2. Now everyone can follow your public FB posts without you having to add them as a friend!
