Mutuals on Currently are users who follow each other back. It’s a two-way connection — a simple way to know, “Hey, we both care about what the other is doing right now.”


🤝 What Makes Someone a Mutual?

A user becomes your Mutual when:

  1. You follow them

  2. They follow you back

That’s it — once the follow is mutual, you’ll both be listed under each other’s Mutuals tab.


🔍 Where Can I See My Mutuals?

  1. Go to your Profile

  2. Tap on your Followers or Following count

  3. Switch to the “Mutuals” tab

You’ll see a list of all the people you follow who also follow you back.


💬 What Can Mutuals Do?

Mutuals unlock stronger social interactions:

🚫 How to Remove a Mutual

To remove someone from your Mutuals:

  • Either unfollow them

  • Or if they unfollow you — the mutual link breaks automatically

  • You’ll both move back to single-sided followers (or none)

Mutuals are dynamic and update in real time.
