Roblox Follow Visibility Settings
The privacy settings for Roblox have been around since 2020 when they rolled out the new settings panel, and this is actually a straightforward fix. Most people miss it because the option is buried inside the Activity visibility section rather than being called out on the main page. Open the Roblox app or go to roblox.com and log in. Click the gear icon in the top-right corner to open Settings, then select the Privacy tab. Scroll down to the Activity section. You will see options like "Who can see my followers and who I am following?" Make it set this to Nobody. Save the changes if you are on desktop. I ran into this exact issue last year when someone on a server I joined asked me who I followed, and I realized publicly that anyone could see my follow list just by visiting my profile. I toggled the setting and confirmed within five minutes that the list was no longer visible from my public profile page.
One thing nobody tells you about this setting is that it does not retroactively hide your follow history. If someone screen-capped your profile before you changed it, that still exists. It only prevents future visitors from seeing it. Also, this setting syncs across all devices logged into your account. Changing it on mobile updates it on the web version and vice versa, which caught me off guard initially because I thought they were separate. Another nuance is that even with this turned off, some of your activity can still show up indirectly. If you join a game that a followed creator is streaming, your name might appear in a players list depending on the experience. That is not controlled by this setting. It is a separate layer of social visibility that Roblox handles differently. The downside of setting this to Nobody is that reciprocal followers cannot easily see that you follow them back. It sounds minor but it matters in communities where mutual follows are part of the social structure. A lot of younger players use their follow list as a signal of who they support. Turning this off removes that signal entirely.
There is no workaround for that limitation other than manually telling people you follow them through private messages or group chats. Some creators also set up Discord servers where you can prove follow relationships without exposing your entire list publicly. I would also note that Roblox occasionally changes the exact wording and placement of these options during updates. The core setting remains the same but the label might shift slightly from "followers and following" to something else. If the option is not in the exact spot, check the Activity section of Privacy regardless of what the current label says. That covers it. The setting works, it saves about ten seconds per change, and it eliminates the main privacy concern people have about their follow list being exposed.
