Facebook Announces New Follower Control Feature
(Facebook Adds Option to Manage Followers)
MENLO PARK, CA – Facebook now gives users more control over their audience. The platform added a setting to manage followers. This lets people decide who can follow them and see their public posts.
Before, anyone could follow public profiles. Users could not stop specific people from following them. The new tool changes this. People can remove followers individually. They can also prevent new followers before they start.
Finding the setting is simple. Users go to their profile. They tap “Followers”. Then they choose “Settings”. Options to remove current followers or approve new ones appear there. Removing a follower stops them seeing future public posts. Past posts stay visible to that person unless manually changed.
Facebook says this is about user choice. People want control over their experience. They want to feel comfortable sharing. This tool helps with that. It gives users more privacy control. It also helps shape their News Feed. Users see more content from people they know well.

The feature is available now. It works on the Facebook app for Android and iOS. It also works on the web version. Facebook encourages everyone to check their settings. Users can adjust their follower list anytime.
