How to Follow Someone On Facebook

Following someone without sending a friend request depends on individual users’ settings. While most celebrities and public figures allow people to follow them without clicking “like,” the average user has this setting disabled.

As for following someone who isn’t a public figure, it’s the same process as adding or removing a Facebook friend. Go to the user’s Facebook page or profile and look for the Follow button. This should be located next to buttons labeled Message and Add Friend. Click the Follow button.

From here, you can choose to whether to prioritize the user’s posts so that they appear at the top of your news feed. The default option, labeled Default, displays posts “as usual,” meaning according to Facebook’s normal algorithm.

You also have the option of turning on or off notifications for the person you’re following, in the event that they start a Facebook Live video or create a new event that you might be interested. Just click the edit pencil, as shown in the screengrab below, and adjust accordingly.

But what if you want to follow someone on Facebook on the down-low? Perhaps you have a crush you want to stay in the loop on or an embarrassing secret obsession with a Hollywood pop star. If that’s the case, then you’ll want to adjust your privacy settings to limit who can see the people and Pages you follow.

When you first select to follow someone on Facebook, you’ll be presented with a blue breakout box (as seen above) with the option to “control the people, Pages, and lists you follow.” Click the link on “here.” (You can also find this info in your Facebook Privacy Settings.)

From there, you can adjust who can see the people you’re following, limiting to Friends, Friends except for acquaiantances, and just yourself, along with custom options. We’d recommend selecting “Only me.” Nobody needs to know who you’re tracking.
