How to change the add friend button to follow is an old tutorial that is now viral again. This is because many Facebook accounts only display the follow button in the profile section. Suddenly, the novice pesbuker were curious and wanted to imitate him.
In essence, this trick will work if your facebook account has activated facebook followers.
One of my facebook accounts (have many) I have also removed the add friend button. Not for any reason, but just to look pro, hehe.
Actually, removing the add friend button serves a purpose in itself. It’s just that many of them do not know, so they are only used for style.
Why should I change the add friends to follow button?
There is a situation where a person just wants to see the latest updates from a certain idol or person, but he also wants to get lots of likes when creating a facebook status. Well, this situation fits perfectly with the goal of changing add friend to follow.
Adding friends on facebook means that both accounts will interact with each other. Where every account A makes a status, it will appear on the homepage of account B. And vice versa.
While the function of follow is only to get the latest updates from the accounts that are followed. For example, if account A follows account B then account A creates a status, then account B can see the status. But if account B creates status, account A can’t see it.
So activating facebook followers is very useful if you are a popular person who has a lot of fans. You can still see status updates from certain people without being bothered by fan status.
Well, now you know right? the real purpose is like that.
But if you want to activate it just to beautify the appearance of your fb profile, please follow these guidelines:
How to change the add friend button to follow on FB lite 2022
Actually this tutorial is very easy, it’s just that many users do not pay attention to the terms and conditions. As a result, the process fails and shouts if it doesn’t work hehe.
No need to use a computer, just use the FB lite application, the add friend button can be changed to follow.
Here’s how you can’t add Facebook, you can only follow it.
1. Change public post privacy settings
First go to facebook settings.
Then scroll down and select public post.
Change the “who can follow me” option to public.
If you have, press again to save.
2. Turn off the Facebook friendship feature for the public
Still in Facebook settings, now you look for the privacy settings menu (above public posts).
Next change who can send friends to you to friends of friends.
Press again to save the settings.
Now the button on the FB profile will change.
More or less it will look like the image below:
If the account above is seen by the friends list, then the follow button will disappear to unfriend.
Likewise when viewed by fb accounts that are friends with the account’s friend list. What appears is still the add friend button.
The solution, you can use step 3.
3. Unfriend all facebook (optional)
If you really want to bring up the follow button and remove add friends which applies to all facebook accounts, then the way is to remove all friends.
You can unfriend by visiting the account profile, then clicking the unfriend button.
Or a quick way you can use a script or tool to cancel all fb friendships. But you need to know, this action can make your account difficult to find.
Unless you are a famous person, then everyone will look for your account.
4. Change post privacy to public (optional)
It also includes options that you can enable or not.
Every time we make a Facebook post, determining the audience is very important, especially if you already have a lot of followers.
Change to public so followers can follow the latest updates from your account.
And change it to friends so that only accounts that are friends can see your posts.
Well now I have explained how to make the add friend button to follow on FB lite in great detail. Now you just have to practice it yourself on your fb account.
Can’t change add friends to follow
The following are problems that are often encountered by users when changing the add friend button to follow:
1. There is no public post menu
The public posts menu will appear after you activate Facebook followers. The condition is that the age must be 18 years. And for the steps, you can click the link at the beginning of the paragraph of this post (in paragraph 2) to be precise.
If the age is not sufficient, then just change to a new account and then set the year so that it is over 18 years old.
2. Follow button doesn’t appear
If all the tutorials above you have followed correctly. But the follow button still doesn’t appear. So try using the following method.
# Use a Facebook account that is not friends with your fb account or your FB friends list to view profiles.
# Or just ask certain group members to check.
Can I change the follow button to add more friends?
Of course you can, just change the choice again who can follow me become friend.
The menu is in settings >> public posts.
Then also change the options who can send friends to you be public. This menu is in settings >> privacy settings.
By changing followers to friends, only the friends list can see the follow button. So when other people visit your profile you will only see the add friend button. But when that person has asked for friendship and you confirm it, then that person will only be able to see the follow button.
All right, now you got it? so please tinker with your own fb account as you want.
My advice is to make a facebook account as it is. Don’t be adventurous if you don’t know its function. The goal, of course, is so that other people can easily find our name/account on Facebook.
Well, if you are still confused by the tutorial above, please just ask which part is not clear through the comments column.
Okay, that’s all, thanks for reading and don’t forget to share.
