This wikiHow teaches you how to see a list of the people who follow your Facebook account's public posts. After enabling public followers on your account, you'll find your followers list on your profile in the menu that's below your cover photo.
Steps
Viewing Your Followers
-
Open Facebook. If you're using a phone or tablet, open the Facebook app by tapping the blue "f" icon in your app list. If you're using a computer, go to https://www.facebook.com and sign in to your account.
- You can only see who is following you on Facebook if you've allowed non-friends to follow you.
-
Click or tap your profile photo at the top-left corner. This opens your profile.
-
Click or tap the three dots below your cover photo. It's below the cover's bottom-right corner.[1] A menu will expand.

Select Followers on the menu. This option is only visible if you have at least one non-friend follower. Selecting this option displays a list of all of your followers.Advertisement
Enabling Public Following

Open Facebook. If you haven't allowed people who aren't your Facebook friends to follow you, you can do so by enabling Public followers. If you're using a phone or tablet, open the Facebook app by tapping the blue "f" icon in your app list. If you're using a computer, go to https://www.facebook.com and sign in to your account.
