It hurts when someone deletes your friend request on Facebook. But unfortunately, this social media king doesn’t let you know the name of that person who is not ready to accept your request for virtual friendship on Facebook.
Well, there is a way to see rejected friend requests on Facebook. Take a quick tour of this guide and you will be able to know if your Facebook friend request is ignored or rejected.
When someone denies your Facebook friend request, you can send another; but in case there is no action taken on your friend request, you can’t send another request to the same person.
This tutorial tells you how you can see ignored friend requests on your Facebook account.
How To Know If Your Facebook Friend Request is Ignored or Rejected:
Step #1: Open Facebook and log in with your Email ID & Password.
Step #2: Now click on “Friend requests” icon (you can see silhouettes of two busts).
Step #3: Scroll down and click on “See all”.
Step #4: Click on “View Sent Requests” from under “Respond to Your Friend Request”.
Now you can see all your so-called friends, whom you have sent friend requests. Keep clicking on ‘See More Requests’ and more such friends will be displayed.
You have two choices: either send a friend request again or forget those friends. If you want to forget, just take the mouse on the “Friend request sent” button.
You will see a drop-down menu with some options. Last option is ‘Cancel request’. Just click on this option and your friend request will be canceled.
Facebook will ask your confirmation: Are you sure you want to cancel this friend request? Click on ‘Cancel Request’ and the request will be canceled forever. Goodbye and good riddance…
How to Know if Your Facebook Friend Request is Ignored on iPhone, iPad, and Android
If you are using a smartphone, you can still check the status of your friend request – is any action taken or is it rejected?
Whether you are using an iPhone or an Android device, you can follow this method given below to view if someone has declined your Facebook friend requests or not.
Step #1: Launch Facebook app on your iPhone or Android device.
Step #2: Now tap on Friend Requests icon from your device. On your iPhone, this icon is located at the bottom. On your Android device, you may find this icon on the upper menu.
Step #3: Scroll down until the list ends; and next, tap on See All.
Step #4: Here, you will find some options for Suggestions, Search, Requests, Contacts etc. in the top menu.
One of the options is Outgoing and you need to tap on that Outgoing option.
This will show you all your Facebook Friend Requests you have sent; since your request has been ignored, you can see the name of that person under OUTGOING FREIND REQUESTS.
Step #5: Simply tap on Undo button and your Facebook app will activate ‘Add Friend’ option again.
When your Facebook friend request is not responded, you will get to know about this in a couple of weeks. Basically, your friend request is ignored and therefore, you don’t receive any message from the person.
In case your request has been deleted, you won’t be able to see the name of that person (who has rejected your FB friend request) in the list of OUTGOING FRIEND REQUESTS.
