The basic friend counts and lists, plus how to handle pending requests.

Open the Friends tab

1. Go to your profile.
2. Tap the Friends tab in the row of profile tabs (between Moments and Plans).
3. A sub-navigation row appears with multiple tabs: Followers / Following / Requested / Close Friends / Invite / Joined / Blocked / Receive.

Eight tabs, one Friends screen. Don't be intimidated by the eight tabs — most users only need three: Followers, Following, and Close Friends. The rest become useful as your network grows.

Followers tab

Anyone who follows you. Each row shows:

• Avatar, name, username, bio, coin badge
• + button to follow them back, OR message button
• X button to remove them as a follower (kicks them off your list)

Use the search bar at the top to find a specific person.

Following tab

Everyone you currently follow. Each row has a Remove button (red) — tapping it unfollows them.

Remove = Unfollow. Tapping Remove on the Following tab is the same as tapping Unfollow on someone's profile. They don't get a notification, but they may notice if they check their followers list.

Requested tab

Pending follow requests you've sent to other users (people who haven't accepted yet). This usually applies to private accounts that require approval.

• Tap X next to a name to cancel the request
• Once approved by them, they move to your Following list automatically

Receive tab

The other side: pending follow requests other users have sent to you (only shows if you have a private account or have specific privacy settings).

• Tap the green ✓ to accept — they're added to your followers
• Tap the X to decline — they're not added
• Declining is silent — they don't get a clear notification

FAQs — Followers, Following, Requests

Q. Why doesn't anyone need to approve me when I follow them?

A. Most accounts on Currently are public — anyone can follow without approval. Only private accounts have an approval gate; their requests show up in your Requested tab until they accept.

Q. Can I make my account private?

A. Yes — go to Settings → Privacy & Safety → Account → Private Account. New followers will need to be approved by you. Existing followers stay.

Q. If I cancel a follow request, will they know?

A. They won't get a notification when you cancel — but if they were going to approve and now there's nothing to approve, they may notice the request disappear.

Q. How do I find specific friends in long lists?

A. Use the search bar at the top of any tab. Type a name, partial name, or username — the list filters as you type.

Q. If I remove a follower, can they re-follow me?

A. Yes — removing them just kicks them off the list, doesn't block them. They can follow again unless you've actually blocked them.
