Getting someone to follow you is just the beginning. What happens next can make or break that new connection. That’s where Upleap’s Like after Follow feature comes in—it gives new followers a gentle tap on the shoulder to say, “Hey, I see you.”
What it actually does
When someone follows you back, Upleap quietly goes to their profile and likes a few of their recent posts. It’s subtle and intentional. We’re not talking about liking everything in sight. Just one to three posts, depending on how active they are and how fresh their content is.
Likes are spaced out over a couple of days, never dumped all at once. We skip anything that’s way too old and tailor the number of likes based on how often the person posts. That way it always looks natural, like something you’d actually do yourself.
Why it’s worth keeping on
This feature works best when you leave it running. It makes your account feel more personal and helps you stay visible right after someone connects with you. That’s a moment when people are still paying attention, and a little nudge from your side can lead to real engagement.
Likes go out before we unfollow anyone, which keeps things smooth. Since that process runs on a slight delay, you might not see the likes displayed on the counter right away, but they’re happening behind the scenes, and you’ll find all the stats waiting for you in your dashboard.
How to turn it on
Honestly, you don’t need to do much. It’s already on by default when you’re in Auto Mode. But if you ever need to check:
-
Head to your Upleap dashboard
-
Go to the Dynamics section
-
Find the toggle for Like after Follow and make sure it’s switched on
You can flip it off anytime, but most users keep it on. It’s one of those quiet features that just makes the whole system work better.
The takeaway
If you want your new followers to stick around, give them a reason to! A like or two on their content can start the kind of engagement loop that keeps your account at the top of their mind. People remember when you notice them, even just a little.
