Adding and following people

There are two ways to link with someone. Connect is mutual: once they accept, you are connected. Follow is one-way: no approval needed, and you see more of their public posts in your Feed.

Where: The top of a person's profile

What's on the screen

Buttons on someone else's profile

Buttons on someone else's profile
  1. 1Connect: Sends a request. It shows Pending until they accept.
  2. 2Follow: Follow without waiting for approval.
  3. 3Message: You can write even if you are not connected. For the rules on writing to people you don't know, see Messaging someone without connecting.
  4. 4More actions: The three-dot menu: Mute and Block.

How to

Accepting a connection request

  1. Click the bell (Updates).
  2. Click Accept next to the request. You can also accept from the person's profile.

Good to know

  • You can withdraw a request you sent, but you then have to wait a week before sending another one to the same person.
  • Your connections are the only audience that sees your Regular posts.
  • You can follow companies too, with the Follow button on their page.
