To see who you're following on Reddit mobile, you need to first understand that "following" can mean two different things: the subreddits you've subscribed to or the people who follow your profile. The direct way to see your subscribed subreddits is to tap the three horizontal lines in the upper-left corner of the app to open the community drawer, where all your subscribed communities are listed.
What 'following' means on Reddit mobile: subreddits vs. followers
On Reddit mobile, the term "following" creates confusion because it applies to two separate features. When you subscribe to a subreddit, you are following that community, and its posts will appear in your home feed. Separately, other Reddit users can follow your profile to see your posts in their feeds. The official Reddit help page documents how to see the people following you, not a separate "following" list for subreddits. This distinction matters because you manage each list differently, and knowing the difference helps you control your Reddit experience, much like understanding Facebook privacy and notifications helps you manage your social media presence.
How to see your subscribed subreddits on the Reddit app
To view the list of subreddits you have subscribed to, use the community drawer method. This works on the current Reddit mobile app for both iOS and Android.
- Open the Reddit mobile app.
- The community drawer will open, displaying your subscribed subreddits in a list.
You can scroll through this list to find any community you have joined. Tapping a subreddit name will take you directly to that community's page.
How to see your subscribed subreddits using the Subscriptions tab
Some versions of the Reddit app offer an alternative path through the bottom navigation bar. The icon for this button has changed over time, but it is typically the second button from the left and may appear as a magnifying-glass-like symbol. One Reddit discussion says the home feed should be available on a recent app version, mentioning 2022.36 or 2022.37 depending on rollout.
- Open the Reddit mobile app.
- Tap the second button from the left on the bottom bar.
- Tap the Subscriptions tab at the top of the screen.
- A list of all subreddits you are currently following will appear.
This view allows you to browse your subscribed communities in alphabetical order and quickly access their content.
How to see who is following your Reddit profile
To see the list of users who follow your profile, follow the steps documented on Reddit's official help page. This feature shows you the people who have chosen to follow your account, not the subreddits you follow.
- Open the Reddit mobile app.
- Tap your profile icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.
- Tap Profile.
- Tap # followers under your username, where # represents the number of followers you have.
This will display a list of users who follow your profile. You can tap on any username to visit their profile.
How to unfollow a subreddit or user on Reddit mobile
Unfollowing a subreddit removes it from your subscription list, while unfollowing a user stops their posts from appearing in your feed. Both actions are reversible.
Unfollow a subreddit
- Navigate to the subreddit you want to unfollow.
- Tap the Joined button near the top of the subreddit page.
Unfollow a user
- Go to the profile of the user you want to unfollow.
- Tap the Following button on their profile page.
- The button will change to "Follow," indicating you have successfully unfollowed that user.
Neither action sends a notification to the subreddit moderators or the user you unfollowed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see a list of users I am following on Reddit mobile?
No, the Reddit mobile app does not currently offer a feature to view a list of the individual user profiles you are following. You can only see the content from those users in your home feed.
How do I control who can follow me on Reddit?
You can manage this privacy setting by going to Settings, then your username under Account Settings, then Safety, and toggling Allow people to follow you on or off. Reddit's official help page for followers says the privacy control is under Settings > your username under Account Settings > Safety > Allow people to follow you on iOS and Android.
Will someone know if I unfollow their subreddit or profile?
No, Reddit does not notify subreddit moderators or individual users when you unfollow them. The action is completely private.
Can I unfollow multiple subreddits at once on mobile?
No, Reddit mobile does not have a bulk unfollow feature. You must unfollow each subreddit individually by visiting its page and tapping the Joined button.
Why don't I see the Subscriptions tab on my Reddit app?
The Subscriptions tab location and icon have changed across different app versions. If you cannot find it, use the three horizontal lines in the upper-left corner to open the community drawer, which works on all current versions of the app.
