Follow requests
On a private account, approve or decline who can follow you.
Updated 25 September 2026
Requests appear in the notification center under Follow requests, foldable so they do not crowd the list, and on your profile. Tap Accept or Decline. Declining is silent, and the person can ask again later.
Requests you have sent to others show as Requested on their profile; tap to cancel.
