Following people

Follow sellers and friends to see their new listings in your Following feed and their stories at the top of Home. Your followers and the people you follow are listed on your profile.

If an account is private, following it sends a request, and you only see its posts once they accept. If your own account is private, requests wait for you under Follow requests. See Private accounts.

You can also choose whether other people can open the list of accounts you follow.

Likes, comments and shares

Like
Tap the heart. The author is notified, and it helps your For you feed learn what you like.
Comment
Ask a question or add something under a listing, a story or a wish. You can reply to comments, like them, and edit or delete your own.
Share
Send a post to someone in a Ahiuwa chat, or share its link anywhere else.
Save
Keep a listing in your Favourites.

For price questions and personal details, a chat is better than a public comment.

Hashtags and tagging people

Add #hashtags to a description or caption to help people find it — up to 30 in a post. Tap a hashtag to see everything posted with it; the app's search finds hashtags too.

In a wish you can tag up to 5 people who might know where to find what you want. They get a notification.

Notifications

The Notifications tab collects everything that needs your attention:

  • likes, comments, replies and new followers,
  • listing decisions from our moderators,
  • orders, bids, invoices and payments — each one takes you straight to it,
  • verification, shop and blue check decisions, and messages from our team.

On your phone you also get push notifications. Important things — security codes, password resets, payments and changes to your payout accounts — are sent by email as well.

In the app: Notifications tab

On the website: Notifications in the header
