If you want more control over who follows you, we’ve got you covered. You can review, restrict, or block who gets access to your content.

On Currently, your followers are the people who can see your moments, interact with your posts, and stay connected to your real-time life.


🔐 1. Make Your Profile Private (Approve Requests Manually)

If you don’t want just anyone to follow you:

  1. Tap your profile icon

  2. Go to Settings ⚙️

  3. Tap Privacy Settings

  4. Turn Private Account ON

With a private profile, everyone must send a follow request, and you choose who to approve or deny.


👤 2. Approve or Deny Follow Requests

When your account is private:

  • You’ll get a notification for every new follow request

  • Go to Notifications → Tap View Requests

  • Tap Accept ✅ or Decline ❌ for each user


🚫 3. Remove a Follower

Even with a public profile, you can remove anyone from your followers list:

  1. Go to your Followers list

  2. Tap the ‘⋮’ or ‘•••’ icon next to the follower's name

  3. Select Remove Follower

They won’t be notified — but they’ll no longer see your private moments or updates.


⛔ 4. Block Someone (Stronger Action)

If someone is bothering you or repeatedly trying to follow you:

  1. Go to their profile

  2. Tap the ‘⋮’ menu (top right)

  3. Choose Block

Blocking removes them from your followers, hides your profile from them, and prevents all future interaction.
