# Follow runners and get notified

Follow a runner and you get a notification when they start a broadcast. Their broadcasts also gather under “Following”.

## Follow someone

1. Open the runner's profile, for example by tapping their name on a broadcast.
2. Tap “Follow”.

> The runner can see that you follow them. Nobody else can.

## Which notifications do I get?

- When the runner starts a broadcast. For a race with a set start time, it comes shortly before the start.
- When they finish, or if they leave the race.

> Only public broadcasts notify followers. Your phone or browser must allow notifications from Livebib.

## Where do I see them?

Open the menu (☰) and tap “Following” for the broadcasts of everyone you follow. Settings, “Notifications” lists what Livebib has told you.

## Stop following

Open the runner's profile and tap “Following” to stop.

## When someone follows you

When someone starts following you, you get a notification with their name: “Anna started following you”. When many follow at once they come together in one: “Anna and 4 others started following you”.

Don't want it? Under Settings, “Notifications”, switch off “When someone starts following me”. The Livebib app has the same switch in its notification settings.

## Your name when you follow someone

People you follow get a notice with your name. Off: the notice says someone new follows them. You still appear in their followers list.

Choose under Settings, “Notifications”, “Show my name when I start following someone”.
