Sending a Friend Request
Step 1: Log in to your Facebook account.
Head over to www.facebook.com and log in to your account. If you don’t have an account yet, you’ll need to create one.
Step 2: Find the user’s profile
Use the search bar at the top of your Facebook page to find the profile of the person you want to connect with.
Step 3: Navigate to the Profile
Once you’ve found the person, click on their name to go to their profile.
Step 4: Send a Friend Request
Look for the “Add Friend” button on their profile. Click it to send a friend request. You might have the option to add a message along with your request—a great way to personalise your connection!
Cancelling a sent friend request:
Step 1: Access Friend Requests
Go to your Facebook home page and locate the friend request icon (usually a silhouette of two people). Click on it to open the friend request menu.
Step 2: View Sent Friend Requests
Within the friend requests menu, click on “View Sent Requests” to see a list of the friend requests you’ve sent.
Step 3: Cancel the Request
Find the pending friend request you want to cancel, and next to it, you’ll see the option to “Cancel Request.” Click on it, and voila, your friend request is cancelled.
Important Considerations
- Privacy Settings: Keep in mind that users can adjust their privacy settings to control who can send them friend requests. If you can’t send a request, they might have restricted friend requests to friends of friends or a specific network.
- Profile Customization: Some users may not accept friend requests from individuals with blank profiles or limited information. Consider completing your profile to increase the likelihood of your requests being accepted.

Sending and cancelling friend requests on Facebook is a fundamental aspect of building and managing your social network.
