Follow other runners to see what they share with their followers. Depending on their privacy settings, following someone can unlock their training, pace, and other data that isn’t visible to everyone.

​
Follow a runner

You’ll find the Follow button on a runner’s profile and in the leaderboard row sheet, next to View profile. The button shows your current relationship with that runner: Some accounts require approval before anyone can follow them. When you follow one of these accounts, NexRex sends a follow request and the button changes to Requested. You see follower-only content once the runner confirms your request. If you open the profile of an account that requires approval and you aren’t an approved follower, NexRex shows Activities are for followers only instead of their training and pace.
When you unfollow an account that requires approval, you’ll need to send a new request to see its follower-only content again.

​
Followers and following lists

Every profile shows Followers and Following counts. Tap a count to open that list. You can search each list by name. If an account requires approval for new followers, only the account owner and their approved followers can see its lists. Anyone else sees “Only {name}‘s followers can see this list.” Your own counts also appear on the profile card at the top of Settings. Tap Followers or Following to open your lists.

​
Follow requests

When someone asks to follow you, the request appears in two places:
  • Notification inbox: tap Confirm directly on the follow request notification. Tapping the notification opens your follow requests.
  • Settings: tap the Follow requests row on the profile card to see all pending requests.
In the requests list, tap Confirm to approve a request or Decline to reject it. Declining is silent. NexRex doesn’t notify the requester. Their button keeps showing Requested, and sending the request again does nothing. This stops the same runner from repeatedly re-requesting after you decline. To stop requiring approval, see Approve new followers.

​
Remove a follower

You can remove someone from your followers without blocking them:
  1. Open your Followers list from Settings, or open the runner’s profile.
  2. Tap the ⋯ button next to the runner, or the ⋯ menu on their profile.
  3. Tap Remove follower.
NexRex doesn’t notify the runner you removed. If your account requires approval, they need to send a new request to follow you again.

​
Block a runner

Block someone to cut off contact with them entirely. Open the ⋯ menu on their profile, or next to their name in your follower lists, then tap Block and confirm. When you block someone:
  • You stop following each other, and any pending follow requests between you are removed.
  • They can’t follow you, send you follow requests, or cheer for you.
  • They can’t message you, or comment on or react to your activities and posts. The same applies in the other direction.
  • You’re left out of each other’s follower and following lists.
  • NexRex doesn’t notify the runner you blocked.
Leaderboard rankings still include both of you, so ranks stay accurate.
Unblocking doesn’t restore follows. If you unblock someone, you each need to follow the other again.

​
Report a runner

To report a runner, open the ⋯ menu on their profile and tap Report. Choose a reason:
  • Spam
  • Harassment or bullying
  • Pretending to be someone else
  • Inappropriate name or photo
  • Other
The NexRex team reviews every report. Reporting doesn’t block the runner or notify them. Block them as well if you want to stop contact.
