How to see friend requests sent on Facebook
Facebook is one of the most popular social networks in the world, with over 2 billion monthly active users. One of the fundamental aspects of Facebook are friendships: through this platform, users can connect with friends and family all over the world.
However, it may happen that you send a friend request to someone and then forget whether you did it or not. Fortunately, Facebook offers a feature that allows users to see all their sent friend requests.
How the "Sent Friend Requests" feature works
To access the "Sent Friend Requests" feature on Facebook, follow these simple steps:
- Login to your Facebook account
- Click on the exclamation point icon at the top right of the main page
- In the drop-down menu, click on "Recent Activity"
- Click on "View All" next to friend requests
- This will display all sent friend requests in reverse chronological order (from newest to oldest)
This way you can keep track of your sent friend requests and check if they have been accepted or not.
It is important to note that this feature is only available for sent friend requests and not for received ones. If you want to see received friend requests, you will need to access the "Friend Requests" section on your main page.
Step 1: Login to Your Facebook Account
To view your sent friend requests on Facebook, you first need to login to your Facebook account. If you don't already have an account, you will need to create one.
To login to your Facebook account, follow these simple steps:
- Go to the Facebook login page (https://www.facebook.com/)
- Enter your email address or phone number in the "Email or Phone" field and your password in the "Password" field.
- Click the "Log In" button.
Now you are logged in to your Facebook account and ready to see your sent friend requests.
Remember that if you forget your password, you can select the "Forgot Password?" option below the "Log In" button to reset it.
Step 2: Click on the Friend Requests Icon
After logging in to your Facebook account, you need to click on the friend requests icon. This is located in the top right navigation bar of the main page.
The icon is represented by two stylized people with a small flag icon next to them. When there are new friend requests, the icon will have a red number indicating the number of requests received.
By clicking on the icon, you will be directed to the friend requests page where you can see all received and sent friend requests.
To view only your sent friend requests, you need to select the "Sent Requests" tab above the list of received requests.
- Login to your Facebook account
- Find the friend requests icon in the top right navigation bar
- Click on the icon to access the friend requests page
- Select the "Sent Requests" tab to view only your sent friend requests
Remember that you can cancel or delete your sent friend requests if you change your mind or send a request by mistake.
Step 3: Select the "Sent Requests" section
After clicking on the person-shaped icon in the top right corner, select "View Profile" from the dropdown menu.
In the profile page, click on the "Friends" tab below the profile picture. This will show a list of all sent and received friend requests.
To view only your sent friend requests, click on the "Sent Requests" section. Here, you will see all friend requests that you have sent to your friends on Facebook.
- If a friend request has been accepted, their name will be visible in your friends list.
- If a friend request has been declined or is still pending, you will see a message next to the request indicating its current status.
In this section, you can also cancel previously sent friend requests. Just click on the "Cancel" button next to the request you want to delete.
Remember that cancelling a friend request does not necessarily mean that the other person will not be able to see your profile or search for you on Facebook. However, you will never receive a notification from them regarding the cancelled request.
Step 4: View and cancel sent requests if necessary
After viewing your received friend requests, it is important to also check your sent requests. To do so, follow these simple steps:
- Login to your Facebook profile.
- Click on the "Friends" icon in the top right corner of the screen.
- In the dropdown menu, click on "See All Friend Requests".
- Click on the "Sent Requests" tab.
You will now see a list of all sent friend requests. If you want to cancel one or more requests, click on the "Cancel Request" button next to each name in the list.
Remember that cancelling a friend request does not mean blocking or removing the person from your friends list. Cancelling a request only means that the person will never receive your friend request and you will not be able to send it again until you receive a response from them.
