How Many People Can You Follow on TikTok?
TikTok allows users to follow up to 10,000 accounts in total. You can also follow up to 200 users per day. Some people rapidly start following accounts when they first start out in the hopes of growing their accounts quicker. However, the platform may only allow you to follow up to 15 accounts in an hour.
If you want to follow more accounts you’ll have to wait an hour or so to start following more accounts until you reach your 200 daily limit.
Is the TikTok Following List in Order?
One feature users may not know is that your Following list will appear in chronological order. This means that your list will appear in date order. The person you followed recently will appear at the top of your list. Your Followers list will also be in chronological order.
Privacy Settings for Following on TikTok
TikTok offers users a plethora of privacy settings for each section of their accounts. If you don’t want your followers or the public to see who you’re following you can make this section of your profile completely private.
How to Make Your Following Private on TikTok
It should be noted that the privacy settings on the web version of TikTok may differ from the settings on your mobile app. In this section, I show you how to make your Following list private. Note that you can only change these settings on your mobile app and not on the website.
1. Visit Your Profile
Log onto your TikTok profile on your smartphone.
2. Tap on the Burger Menu
Next, tap on the burger menu which is the three lines located at the top right-hand corner of your smartphone screen.
3. Tap on Privacy and Settings
Tap on the Privacy and Settings tab on the menu that pops up. Then tap on the tab that says ‘Privacy’.
4. Tap on the Following List to Make it Private
Scroll down to the bottom and tap on the ‘Following’ tab. Click on the option that says ‘Only Me’ to make your list private.
Can Your Followers See Who You Follow on TikTok?
If your Following list isn’t set to private, then anyone who clicks on your profile can see who you’re following. They can also see anyone who is following you back. This also depends on whether your profile is private or not. Then only your followers can see details on your profile unless you make your Following list private too.
Encouraging Users to Follow Your TikTok Account
Content creators use various marketing strategies to encourage people to follow their TikTok accounts. You can do the same by telling people to click on the Follow button at the end of your videos. Another method is to share your profile on other social media platforms such as Instagram or Twitter.

Stitch and Duet Videos
Content creators can boost their visibility and recognition on TikTok by dueting or stitching videos. This process is when you react to other content creators' recordings. Duet videos and talk about what’s happening in the video you’re reacting to.
Some creators use the Stitch or Duet feature to sing songs with artists or play instruments for singers. It’s a great way to reach a wider audience especially if you want more followers.
