How to Retrieve the Follow Option on Facebook Using Android


With the help of Facebook's ‘Follow’ option, people can watch your activities even if they are not added to your Facebook friend list.

When a new Facebook profile is created, the ‘Follow’ feature is disabled. This means that other Facebook users can only send you friend requests or personal messages in your inbox.

Because of the default settings, no one can follow you, so no one will be able to receive your public posts as newsfeed in their timeline (all of your public posts will still be visible to any Facebook user who visits your profile).

In order to allow people to follow you on Facebook, you must enable the ‘Follow’ feature by going to your Facebook account settings.

You can enable the ‘Follow’ option on your Facebook profile both from a desktop/laptop computer, or using your Android smartphone.

Here’s how you can enable the ‘Follow’ option on your Facebook profile using your Android mobile phone:

    ■Turn on your Android phone.
    ■Tap the Menu button to go to the apps list.
