On both the prayer card and the prayer details page, you’ll notice a small star icon. This is the follow icon, and the number beside it tells you how many people are following that post. When someone follows a prayer, they receive notifications whenever there’s new activity—such as comments or when the post is marked as answered. Following is a great way to stay connected with prayer requests that matter to you.

To see exactly who follows a prayer, open the prayer details page and slide open the follow section. Here, you’ll find a list of all the handle names of those following. Tap on any handle name to interact directly with that person. Make it a habit to follow posts that hold personal meaning—you never know how much encouragement your interest might bring to the person who shared the request.
