Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How would you know if there’s an update on the post you are following?
A: You can look at your Notifications to know if there’s an update to the post you are following. The Notifications will show you who left a comment on the post or if the person who posted had any changes or updates in that particular post.
Q: Does the feature allow you to follow the person who posted it as well?
A: The method discussed above is for following of a certain post alone whether by an individual or by a particular group. However, you can follow the person or a group page you want. By default, you are following your friends on Facebook. However, you can still navigate the post of someone that is not listed as your friend. Just open their profile, then click the follow button located on their main page. After that, the button will change to a box with a checkmark and tag it as “following.” This will work if an individual Facebook account was set to Public.
Q: I cannot see the three dots in the post.
A: If you are trying to follow the post from one of your friends in your newsfeed, you might see an arrow down across your friend’s name instead of the three dots. Tap that button, and the Turn on Notifications for this particular post will appear.



Q: Can I deactivate or unfollow posts?
A: If in some way you lost your interest in a certain post you are following, you can unfollow it. Visit the post and follow the same steps here. At the last step, you will see the “Turn OFF Notifications For this Post” instead of ON. Also, you can unfollow posts on your Notifications status. Simply swipe left the notifications, then tap the “More” button. Then choose the “Turn off Notifications About this Photo” on the next screen.
