What does it mean to follow another user?
Article also available in:English (United States)
If you choose to follow another user on Yelp, their reviews and other contributions (not including Check-Ins) will be listed under the Following tab of your Recent Activity feed on the Yelp home page, as well as in the Activity tab on the Yelp app. You'll also see their reviews listed first in the default sort order on business pages (Yelp Sort). Once you follow a user, they will receive a notification that you are following them. You will also show up in their list of followers, and we will show who you are following on your own profile for other Yelpers to see. This enables others to rely on your impeccable taste to learn about these great reviewers!
