Followers, follow requests and a private profile

Follow someone

Open their profile and tap Follow. If their account is private the button turns to Pending until they approve you, and their profile stays closed with This profile is private.

Make your own account private

1. 1Open Settings, then Social settings.
2. 2Turn on Private profile. The description is exact: only people you approve can follow you.

Handling requests

Follow requests lists everyone waiting. Approve or decline each one. Follow activity shows new followers and gives you a Follow back shortcut, and says Nothing new when there is nothing to look at.

Unfollow

Open the profile, tap Following and confirm when Kool asks whether to unfollow that person.

Hide the numbers

Hide like and share counts in Social settings removes the counters from your view, which is a small change that makes the feed feel calmer.
