Follow
When you follow someone, you see their posts in your Feed. You automatically follow people you're friends with. You can also follow the posts of people you're interested in. You can also choose to allow people who aren't your friends to see your posts in their Feed.
Getting Started
You automatically follow people who you're friends with. You can also follow Pages (example: businesses, organizations, brands) and people who aren't your friend on Facebook but allow everybody to follow them.
When you follow someone or a Page, you may see updates from that person or Page in your News Feed. If you like a Page, you'll automatically follow it.
Some Pages and well-known public figures with large followings are verified by Facebook and have a blue badge next to their names to help you know that they're who they claim to be.
You can also have the posts of Pages and people appear at the top of your News Feed with Favorites.
Keep in mind that you can also follow someone on Marketplace.

To find this list, go to your profile and click Friends below your cover photo and then click More > Followers. If you don't have any followers, you won't see this option. You won't see which of your Facebook friends follow you.
