How to See Your Followers on Facebook on a Desktop Browser

While you can see your Facebook followers on the web version of Facebook, you can’t see the total number of people following you. If you want to see who is following you on Facebook, here’s what to do if you’re using the browser version…

Can’t See Your Facebook Followers? Here’s Why

If you’ve tried to view your Facebook followers on the mobile app but can’t see them, your mobile app might be outdated. Make sure you update it from the App Store or Play Store.

Moreover, you won’t get the option to check your Facebook followers if you don’t have any. Consequently, you won’t see your followers even if you’ve followed the above steps, as there are none to see.

You may also not get this option if your Facebook account is new, as you likely don’t have any followers yet. Or you might need to switch to a different Facebook account .

Another possible reason is your current account privacy setting might not allow people to follow you on Facebook—we’ll explain how to change this below.

How to Allow People to Follow You on Facebook

If you’ve disallowed the public from following you, people who aren’t on your friends’ list can’t follow you on Facebook, limiting your chances of getting more Facebook followers.

However, you can set your follow preference asPublic so that anyone can follow you rather than just your friends.

To do this on the desktop browser:

1. Once on Facebook, click theprofile icon at the extreme top-right corner of the menu bar.
2. From the list, selectSettings & Privacy .
   
3. ClickSettings .
