If your profile is private, every new follower must be approved. You receive the New follow request notification and decide from the requests page.
At a glance
- Where: website: My account → Follow requests (nightify.me/account/follow-requests); app: Profile → Follow requests (Approve or decline requests, with the subtitle N requests to review when there are any).
- When the entry appears: on the website only if the profile is private or there are pending requests (next to the title a badge with the number, 9+ above nine); in the app always; on your public profile the Requests statistic also appears, which opens the Follow requests window.
- Actions: Accept or Decline for each request.
Step by step on the website
- Open the requests. From My account choose Follow requests. What you see: the page with the text Approve or decline follow requests. and the list of waiting users.
- Decide. Press Accept or Decline on the user’s row.
- Read the confirmation. Request accepted.: the user becomes a follower and receives Follow request accepted; Request declined.: the request is deleted without notifying the user, who will see Follow again the next time they open your profile.
Step by step in the app
- Open Profile → Follow requests.
- Tap Accept or Decline on the row; the row disappears from the list.

- You no longer want to receive requests: set your profile back to public; anyone who presses Follow will follow you directly.

- Many requests: the page shows up to 50 at a time; when you accept or decline, badges and counters update immediately.
