# Fetch follow status

> Check whether the current user follows a specific user

## Overview

Returns a function that checks whether the current authenticated user follows a given `userId`. Returns a status object including the follow ID and timestamp if following.

## Usage Example

```tsx theme={null}
import { useFetchFollowStatus } from "@replyke/react-js";

function ProfilePage({ userId }: { userId: string }) {
  const fetchFollowStatus = useFetchFollowStatus();

  useEffect(() => {
    fetchFollowStatus({ userId }).then((status) => {
      console.log(status.isFollowing, status.followId);
    });
  }, [userId]);
}
```
