How do I follow on Facebook?

There are good marketing reasons to have a Facebook profile with the Follow button activated. If you already have lots of Facebook friends who are more like potential customers or clients, and you haven’t taken the time to create a business page (and probably won’t), this approach is for you!

Here’s how to turn on the Follow button on your personal profile:

How do I follow and unfollow on Facebook?
Can you follow someone on Facebook?
How do you make a follow on Facebook?

Click the down arrow in the upper-right corner of Facebook.
A drop-down menu appears.

Enabling the Follow button is optional. You can enjoy a profile and share with only friends and family; you don’t have to turn on the Follow button.

But a profile’s Follow system offers these benefits:

After someone follows you, that person sees your Public updates in their News Feed. People may also discover your profile through the People to Follow box on the right side of their News Feed or through their friends’ News Feed stories.
Followers can share your Public posts, which broadcasts your post and profile to a larger audience.
You can have an unlimited number of followers (no more 5,000-friend limit).
You're still able to block potential followers by adjusting your Privacy Settings Block List.
You can connect with people on Facebook who prefer subscribing to a business page to liking it.
When your Follow button is open, anyone who requests to be your friend automatically becomes a follower unless you block them. You know they’re getting your public updates; you don’t have to friend them unless you want to also get their updates.
When you unfriend someone, they remain a follower unless you block them.
You can unfollow a friend. You are still friends, but you do not receive their updates in your News Feed.
Personal profiles get more exposure in the News Feed due to Facebook’s News Feed algorithm. You have a better chance of being seen if you’re also using your personal profile to post about your business.

For more information about the Follow features, see Facebook’s Help section.

Facebook provides a function called "Follow". We will see the "Follow" button with an "Add as Friend" option on that person's profile if the person has turned on this feature. When we follow someone, we will be able to see his/her post in our news feed. After following someone, we can unfollow them also. These are the following steps to follow someone on Facebook:

Desktop: To follow someone

Firstly, open the Facebook official website by pasting the https://www.facebook.com/ in the address bar of our preferred web browser. If we are already logged into Facebook, we will directly reach the News Feed page. But if we are not login, then we have to enter the username, phone number, and email address, followed by the password in the given tab.

2) Find the Friend

Now, we will find the name of the friend by using the search bar. We will type the name of the friend in the search field and press enter. After pressing on the Enter button on the keyboard, a list of the people of the same name will be visible to the screen.

3) Open the profile

Now, we will click on the name of that person who we want to follow. In response to this click, the profile of that person will be open.

4) Click on the Follow

We will click on the Follow button located at the upper-right corner of the profile. In response to this click, our name will be added to that person's follower list, and we will be able to see all their posts in our news feed.

Desktop: To unfollow someone

The process to unfollow someone on Facebook is quite similar to follow someone. To unfollow someone on Facebook, we have to:

3) Click on the name of that friend.

Click on the drop-down menu located in the same place where the follow button was present. In the simple way, the Follow button will be replaced with the drop-down menu after clicking on the follow button. In response to this click, a list of items will be visible.

5) Click on the Unfollow <name>

After clicking on the drop-down menu, we will click on the Unfollow Shubham located in the list of items. This click will remove our name from the follower list of the friend.
