Following, liking, and saving are the three ways you cheer on the people and apps you love on Whip. Follow a creator to keep up with what they publish, tap the heart to like an app, and save any app to keep it handy in your library. All three also send a signal that helps great work get discovered.

Follow a creator

Following someone tells Whip you want more of what they make. You can follow from a few places:

From a profile

Open any profile and tap Follow. The button flips to Following.

From a feed card

Many cards in the feed have an inline Follow button right on the creator’s name — tap it without leaving your scroll.

From suggested creators

When you first join and here and there in your feed, Whip shows a Suggested for you card of creators worth a look. Tap Follow on any of them.
To unfollow, tap Following again. From a profile or a follower list you’ll get a quick confirmation first; from inline buttons on cards it happens right away.
Following changes two things. Their new publishes can send you a notification, so you never miss a drop, and it helps shape the suggestions Whip shows you. You can follow up to 5,000 people.

Like an app

A like is the quickest way to say “this is good.” Tap the heart on any app card, or double-tap the app’s preview for a satisfying burst of hearts. Tap the heart again to unlike. Likes are public — anyone can open an app’s Likes list to see who tapped the heart. The creator gets a notification the first time you like one of their apps.

Save apps to your library

A save is your personal bookmark. When you save someone else’s app, it drops onto your Home screen so you can find and open it anytime — think of it as your collection of other people’s apps, kept right next to the ones you built.

Tap the save icon

On a feed card or an app’s detail sheet, tap the bookmark icon. In menus, the same action reads Add to home.

Find it on Home

Saved apps live on your Home screen alongside your own creations. Sort and organize them however you like.

Remove a save

Tap the icon again, or choose Unsave / Remove from home from the menu. Removing a saved app from Home doesn’t delete it — the creator’s app stays live for everyone.
Every card shows a save count, so popular apps wear their saves proudly.

How this helps creators get discovered

Following, liking, and saving aren’t just for you — they feed the feed’s ranking. Whip weighs engagement when it decides what to surface, and the signals aren’t all equal: a remix counts most, a save counts about twice a like, a comment a little more than a like, and a like is the baseline. Recent plays add a boost too, and brand-new apps get a fair shot at the top for their first day. So every heart and save genuinely helps a creator reach more people.
Loved an app enough to want your own version? Remixing it is the highest compliment you can pay — and the strongest discovery signal of all.

Common questions

Straight to your Home screen, mixed in with the apps you’ve built. You can drag them into folders to keep things tidy.
Not a separate tab, no. Following someone can send you a notification when they publish, and it shapes your suggestions — but the main feed is For You and Trending.
They see save counts and can hit save milestones, but saves and likes are about discovery, not about sharing your private data. Whatever you do inside an app stays in your own copy.
