Hey, it’s very simple.

Use this :PromptOptIn() to prompt the Turn on notifications,
and use :CanPromptOptInAsync() to check if the player is following the experience

  • false means is following
  • true means is not following here is a simple example
--// Services
local ExperienceNotificationService = game:GetService("ExperienceNotificationService") 

--// Functions
-- Checks if the player is following the experience.
local function IsFollowingExperience(retries: number)
	local IsFollowing
	
	-- This yields so it requires a pcall in case of an error.
	local Success = pcall(function()
		IsFollowing = ExperienceNotificationService:CanPromptOptInAsync()
	end)
	
	-- Makes the retry process infinite if it's within the negatives.
	if retries < 0 then
		retries = math.huge
	end
	
	-- Retries the logic until it's successful.
	while retries >= 1 do
		-- Simple delay before trying again.
		task.wait(1)
		
		-- Deducts -1 from the retries.
		retries -= 1
		
		-- Tries to check if the player is following the experience again.
		Success = pcall(function()
			IsFollowing = ExperienceNotificationService:CanPromptOptInAsync()
		end)
		
		if Success then break end
	end
	
	-- If it was a failure then return that the player isn't following the experience.
	if not Success then
		return false
	end
	
	-- returns if the player is following the experience the reason.
	-- why i've added not is because if it's true it means the player isn't following the experience.
	-- but if it's false it means the player is indeed following the experience.
	return not IsFollowing
end

--// Logic
-- Checks if the player is following the experience.
local IsFollowing = IsFollowingExperience(3)

-- Checks if the player isn't following the experience.
if not IsFollowing then
	-- This handles prompt the notification prompt for following the game.
	ExperienceNotificationService:PromptOptIn()
else 
	warn("Already following experience!")
end

--// Connections
-- Listen to whenever a prompt is closed.
ExperienceNotificationService.OptInPromptClosed:Connect(function() 
	-- Checks if the player is following the experience.
	local IsFollowing = IsFollowingExperience(3)
	
	if IsFollowing then
		-- if he followed the experience.
		warn("Player has followed the experience.")
	else
		-- if he cancelled and didn't follow the experience.
		warn("Player refused to follow the experience.")
	end
end)
  • Client side only, you will have to make a client/server communication to check. I’m not sure if there is any way to check that directly on the server, correct me if I’m wrong.
