Follow channels and content

Before you can follow a channel, you need to be able to navigate to it: 

• Navigating to a channel using search: While viewing any tab other than the Web tab:
  1. Tap  Search.
  2. Enter the name of the channel that you want to follow.
  3. Tap Search or tap any recent search suggestions to perform a search.
  4. (Optional) If the search defaults to the People tab, tap Content to view those results.
  5. Tap a search result to go to it. 
• Navigating to a channel through its content: While viewing content on the channel you want to favorite, tap the channel name at the top of the app to navigate to the channel. 

Select  Ellipsis while on a channel or content to display follow options. When on content, you can choose to follow the current content and/or the channel where that content resides.
