What your followers can see

Updated Nov 10, 2026

Your followers see something only if you turn on Show my followers when we read the same site in Settings. Then:

  • Only people you've approved as followers, and only if they've turned it on too.
  • Only while they're on a site you read in the last 7 days. They see your name and up to 5 titles you read on that site, with "today", "yesterday" or "3 days ago", never a clock time.
  • Never a list of your reading history. There is no page anywhere where someone can browse what you've read.
  • Never what you read on other sites, and never anything older than 7 days.
  • Never reads from a time when Show my followers was off, even after you turn it back on.
  • Never across a block, in either direction.
  • Never adult and 18+ sites, banking, money and investing, health and medical, email, chat and docs, dating, government services and job search sites, plus account pages (logins, checkout, carts, settings), search results and pages with a password field.
