Friending
You should send friend requests to friends, family and other people you know and trust on Facebook. You can add a friend by searching for them and sending them a friend request. If they accept, you automatically follow that person, and they automatically follow you — which means that you may see each other's posts in News Feed. If you'd like to see updates from people you find interesting but don't know personally, like a journalist or celebrity, try following them instead.
To unfriend someone:
- Go to that person's profile
- Hover over Friends at the top of their profile
- Select Unfriend
The person you unfriended won't be notified.
If you don't want someone to see your profile, add you as a friend or send you a message, you can block them.
Note: If you unfriend someone, you'll be removed from that person's friends list as well. If you want to be friends with this person again, you'll need to add them as a friend again.
