Your follower count is just one indicator of how successful and popular your profile is.
The number lets you know how many people are following you, while your followers list lets you know exactly who is seeing your content and receiving your updates.
But what happens when you want to hide this information and conceal your full followers list from other users on TikTok? In this article, we’re taking you through the steps to hide your followers (and why you might want to do so).
First to the why.
Why Hide Followers?
The main reason why TikTok users want to hide their followers is for enhanced privacy. When a user who doesn’t follow you or who you don’t know can access and see your full followers list, they are able to learn more about you.
The Best Way to Hide Followers
The best way to hide your followers is by accessing your privacy settings and changing the tracking list visibility to ‘Only Me’.
This is done by heading to your Privacy menu on your profile, then tapping on ‘List of People Who Follow You’ and making sure that ‘Only Me’ is selected. This limits the visibility of your follower list exclusively to you, so nobody else can look at your follower list.
Why Make Your Profile Private?
Another way to hide your followers, especially from those who you don’t know, is by simply making your entire profile private.
When your TikTok profile is set to private, users have to request to follow you – with you able to decline them with incredible ease if you want to. What’s more, making your profile private means that users who don’t follow you cannot see your TikTok videos, your followers, or who you are following.
So, if you’re especially concerned with privacy, then make sure to set your profile to private.
We really hope this helps you to feel safe and secure when using TikTok!
