How do I find out who else is following a person in Family Tree?

.

In Family Tree, it is currently not possible see a list of other Family Tree users who follow a person. Instead, we suggest that you view the list of recent changes, which identifies the Family Tree users who made changes to the person's record. It is likely that one of these users is also a follower.

Note: FamilySearch Support cannot provide a list of followers if you contact us.

    I think I am missing something. When I click on Family Tree>Following it shows me the "All Changes" list. I don't see any triple-dots on any of these people and I know that there are some. I also tried clicking "People I Am Following" but still no triple-dots. What am I missing? Thanx ~ Tiffany

    I did the same thing. When I went to "Following" it defaulted to "All Changes"--when you change that to "Person" in the "View by" option, then the 3 dots are visible.😀

    'Yes', ... 'Jennifer' is correct ...

    That "List" of OTHER Users/Patrons who were ALSO "Following" an individual/person that one is "Following"; plus, even 'send' them a 'Message' through "User Messaging" of 'FamilySearch', 𝑶𝑵𝑳𝒀 appears when you go to the "Options" ( on the 'right-hand-side' of the page/screen ), use the "Filters'; and, 'Select' the '𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐛𝐲' "𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏" filter.

    Here is where the "Options" are located ...

    Here is were the "Three" (x3) "Dots" appear ...

    LIST of Users__Patrons FOLLOWING those We FOLLOW _ 4 _ THREE Dots _ 1.jpg

    I hope this helps

    ==========

    Tiffany & Jennifer.

    FYI

    We were, for a "𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐲" 𝑺𝑯𝑶𝑹𝑻 '𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞', back around 19 February 2021, we had a NEW feature/function/facility, where wer were able to 'see', a "List" of OTHER Users/Patrons who were ALSO "Following" an individual/person that one us "Following"; plus, even 'send' them a 'Message' through "User Messaging" of 'FamilySearch'.

    But ...

    That said ...

    Shortly after this "Idea" of mine was posted, that NEW feature/function/facility was TEMPORARILY "Withdrawn"; as, there was some problem/issue with that NEW feature/function/facility.

    NOW, thankfully, that feature/function/facility is BACK ...

    Plus ...

    The aforementioned "Knowledge Article" to which I previously referred has SINCE been, "Removed"; and/or, "Replaced", by a current (ie. updated) version.

    Furthermore ...

    Hopefully ...

    Here are the MISSING "Images", that ORIGINALLY appeared, in MY "Idea" in the (NEW) [ ie. in fact, 2nd. version, prior to this CURRENT platform ] of the "IDEAS" ( 'Feedback' ) Forum ...

    LIST of Users__Patrons FOLLOWING those We FOLLOW _ 0.jpg
    LIST of Users__Patrons FOLLOWING those We FOLLOW _ 1.jpg
    LIST of Users__Patrons FOLLOWING those We FOLLOW _ 2.jpg

    I hope this helps.
