What is a Top Fan Badge on Facebook?
Facebook is well known for rolling out badges to increase users’ engagement on the platform. The top fan badge is one of the recently rolled out badges, and we will explain it.
If you follow a given Facebook page or group, you probably like its posts, videos, view its profile, and comment on the posts.
Facebook takes notice of these efforts, and when it notices that you are the most active fan of a given page or group, it rewards you with a top fan badge, helping you stand out from other followers.
Once you get awarded the badge, you can turn it on for it to display next to your Facebook name. Besides, you must click the “Display top fan badge” when Facebook awards it to you for it to start appearing on your name.
Here are some of the things to note about the top fan badge:
- Facebook updates the top fans weekly. Therefore, the badge may disappear if your activeness reduces or someone gets more active than you.
- The page owner or the admin can decide to remove the top fan badge or turn the feature off for their group or page. If that happens, you automatically lose the badge.
- When you get awarded the top fan badge, all interactions you have with the page or group will update and display the badge next to your name.
- All comments you make on the group or page will have the badge next to your name.
How To Get a Top Fan Badge on Facebook
To get the top fan badge, you must earn it through your activeness on the given Facebook page or group.
Therefore, to stand out as the most active follower, you must watch videos from the given page, like their posts, comment, share them, and react to other people’s comments.
Furthermore, the Facebook page or group you are a member of must have 10,000 followers for Facebook to award the top fan badge to its members.
So, if you plan to get a top fan badge, start by ensuring you join a group with many followers. Once that is done, focus on how you will stand out as the most active follower.
Lastly, remain consistent in your activeness and wait for Facebook to notice you and award you the badge.
Managing Top Fan Badges for Your Facebook Page
As an admin of a given page or group, you have the power to decide whether the top fan badge should be used on the page or group. Besides, you can choose to remove the badge from an individual follower, but you can determine who gets awarded the badge.
To turn on or off the badge on the page or group:
- Open Facebook and access the page where you are the admin.
- Tap the “Settings” option.
- On the left column, select the “Facebook badges” option.
- Lastly, click the option to turn on top fan badges.
