Accepting or Declining Friend Requests
Sometimes potential Facebook friends find you before you find them. When this happens, they will send you a friend request, which you can then accept or decline. You might receive a friend request via email, or you can view friend requests within Facebook.
Accept or Decline a Friend Request in the Facebook Mobile App
You don’t need to access the Facebook website to see your pending friend requests. You can accept or decline friend requests directly from your mobile phone or tablet.
From within the mobile app, tap Requests to display the Friend Requests page.
Tap Confirm to accept a given friend request.
Tap Delete to ignore the friend request.

Unfriend a Friend
What do you do about those friends you really don’t want to be friends with anymore? Sometimes people drift apart, or you don’t like that person’s political views or inane posts. Whatever the reason, you don’t want to read any more of that person’s posts, and you want to delete him from your friends list.
Fortunately, you can at any time remove any individual from your Facebook friends list. This is called unfriending the person, and it happens all the time.
- Click or tap the person’s name anywhere on the Facebook site to open that person’s Timeline page.
- From the mobile app, tap the Friends icon or, on the website, mouse over the Friends button.
- Click or tap Unfriend.
