Community Q&A
-
QuestionHow do I prevent other people from seeing my followers?Community AnswerYou cannot do that unless your entire profile is private, and even then, your followers who you approved are able to see your other followers.
-
QuestionI have 51 followers, yet only 31 show. Why is this?Community AnswerThe most likely reason is that it's either a glitch, or those were fake followers or bot accounts.
-
QuestionCan a blocked user message your followers?Community AnswerYes, unless they blocked them, too. They're separate from each other since they're completely different accounts.

Warnings
