Following and messaging

Following

Tap Follow on a creator row, a profile or a card. Following is one-way: they don't have to follow you back. Their videos fill your Following filter and weigh more in For You. Your followers and following lists are on your profile; either can be hidden in Settings → Visibility.

Who can message you

By default, people you follow can message you directly. Anyone else lands in Requests, the violet pill in your Inbox, and you decide whether to open a conversation. Change the rule in Settings → Messages: everyone, people I follow, or nobody.

Scene chats

Joining a Scene adds its group chat to your Inbox. Leave the Scene to leave the chat, or mute it from the chat's header to stay in without notifications.

Sharing a video

Share on any video sends it into a conversation, a Scene chat, or out of Tubaar as a link. Links open the video in the app when it's installed and on the web when it isn't.

Following and subscribing are not the same

Following is free, and it is how you see someone's videos in your feed. A Circle is separate: it is a recurring VIP creator subscription a creator may offer, with possible access to selected content. You can follow without joining a Circle. See Creator subscriptions.

Blocking

Block from any profile, video or conversation. A blocked person can't see your videos, follow you, Echo you or message you, and isn't told. Blocked accounts are listed in Settings so you can undo it.
