Accidentally requested to follow an ex on Apple Music but instantly unrequested, does the notification go away?

Hi Not_nmless2023,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! Here's how follow request work that may help:

See what your friends are listening to

Respond to follow requests

You can allow everyone to follow you, or just people you choose. You receive follow requests only if you choose who can follow you.

1. Tap Listen Now, then tap  or your profile picture.

2. Tap View Profile.

3. Tap Edit, then tap People You Approve if you want to be followed only by people you choose.

4. Tap Follow Requests, then accept or decline the requests.

You may receive follow requests in other ways—as a link in an email or a text message, for example. To accept, tap the link.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day.
