1 min readUpdated
Connect your social media accounts to show how many people follow you, added up across platforms, under your photo. Hiyaly reads the count from each platform, so you never have to type it in or keep it current yourself.
Connect an account
- In the editor, open Settings › Audience › Social media.
- Choose Connect next to the platform.
- Sign in to the platform and allow access. You're brought back to Settings.
You can connect Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Twitch and Snapchat. If a platform shows Soon, it can't be connected yet.
Show your total followers
Your total shows under your photo as soon as you connect an account that shares a follower count. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Twitch do.
To hide it, open Settings › Audience › Followers and switch off Show total followers. The switch is greyed out until there's a count to show.
Manage a connection
Open the menu next to a connected account:
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Refresh | Gets the latest count. |
| Add to page icons | Adds that profile to your social icons, if it isn't there already. |
| Disconnect | Takes its follower count off your page. Any icon for it stays. |
If a platform stops sharing your account, the row tells you. Reconnect it to keep the count up to date.
