Can't see your followers on Facebook? Here because
If you've tried to view your Facebook followers on the mobile app but can't see them, your mobile app may be out of date. Make sure you go to the App Store or Play Store to update it.
Also, you won't have the ability to check your Facebook followers if you don't have any. As a result, following the steps above won't allow you to check your followers, as there aren't any.
You might not even get this option if your Facebook account is new, as you probably don't have any followers yet. Or you may need to switch to another Facebook account.
Another possible reason is that your account may not be set up to allow people to follow you on Facebook - we'll explain how to change this setting below.
How to give the public access to follow you on Facebook
Sometimes, if you've blocked your audience from following you, you limit your chances of getting more followers on Facebook.
This is because people who are not on your friends list cannot follow you on Facebook if you have this setting in place. However, you can set your follow preference as “Public” so that anyone can follow you, rather than just your friends.
To do this on the desktop:
- Go to your profile.
- Click Account drop-down round icon in the upper right corner of the menu bar.
- From the list, select Settings and privacy .
- click on Settings .
- From the Settings menu sidebar, click Privacy .
- Select Public posts from the sidebar.
- Look to the right of the option Who can follow me and click on the drop-down menu Friends .
- Select Public to allow anyone to follow you, including those who are not your Facebook friends.
To do this on the Facebook mobile app:
- Open the Facebook mobile app and tap the picture icon at the top left to open your profile.
- Touch the three horizontal points immediately to the right of Edit profile (under your name).
- Select Follow the settings .
- In Who can follow me , select Public .
