Have you ever wondered why you can’t see a friend’s activity on Facebook? Wondering if they have silently removed you from their list of friends? Although Facebook won’t send you notifications when someone unfriends you, there are several ways to see who unfriended you on Facebook.
There might be several reasons behind someone removing you as a friend on Facebook. Maybe a personal issue, or they don’t like the content you post. But before you jump to conclusions, let’s first ensure whether you’re kicked out of their friend list or not.
1. Visit Their Profile to Check Your Friendship Status
One of the simplest methods to know if someone has unfriended you on Facebook is to check their Facebook timeline. Here’s how you can do it,
Step 1: Open Facebook and search for your friend’s name.
Step 2: Scroll to find and select their name.
Step 3: Here, you can find out whether you’re blocked or unfriended,
- If you can’t find the person’s profile, they probably have blocked you or deleted their profile.
- If you can access the profile, you might see one of the following,
- Add friend – This means you’ve been unfriended.
- Friends – They have not unfriended you (as of yet).
Tip: If you discover that you’ve been blocked on Facebook and want to take revenge, follow this guide to block someone who’s blocked you on Facebook.
2. Manually Check Your Facebook Friends List
An alternate method to see who unfriended you on Facebook is to manually check your list of friends.
Step 1: Open Facebook and tap your profile picture to visit your Facebook feed.
Step 2: Scroll down and select See all friends.
Step 3: Here, search for your friend’s name.
If you can’t find the friend in your list, it simply means that you have been unfriended. Moreover, if you can’t nail down who unfriended you, then scroll through the friend list and see if someone is missing.
3. Check Your Facebook Timeline
While this method doesn’t exactly tell who unfriended you on Facebook, it can tell you who’s still your friend. The basic idea is to check a post’s status icon, whether is it a globe (public post) or two people (visible to only friends).
To do so, simply scroll down your timeline and observe the recent posts shared by your friend. If you spot the two people icon, worry not, they are still friends with you.
However, the accuracy of this method depends on a lot of factors,
- Public post – Even if you are still friends with someone, you’ll spot a globe icon next to their public posts. So, you can’t judge them from one post. Visit their profile to view older posts.
- You’re unfriended – If you’re not in their friend list, Facebook won’t show you their private/friends-only post. So you might not see their latest posts in the first place to check this scenario out.
- If you follow them – Even when someone unfriends you on Facebook, you can still see their posts as long as you follow them. In such a scenario, you’ll only see their public post, i.e., the globe icon.
- Restricted list – You might not have been unfriended, but you could be on the restricted list. So, you can view their public post but not the friends-only post.
We know waiting around for someone’s post to show up on your timeline isn’t the ideal solution. The other (above-mentioned) methods are simpler and quicker.
However, this might come in handy if you don’t know who unfriended you. Especially if that person is pretty active on social media. So, if you haven’t seen any updates from them for some time, this could be one of the reasons.
4. Use Third-Party Apps
It’s easier to find an unfriendly friend if you doubt them. But finding someone who unfriended you from that long list of all your Facebook friends isn’t that easy. There are some apps especially designed to help you find that out, like Still Friends.
However, these apps will need access to your Facebook account to do so. A major red flag as it could lead to all kinds of privacy and data breach issues. We’ll suggest against it, but if want to, do so at your own risk.
Difference Between Unfriend, Unfollow, Take a Break and Block
Facebook offers two ways in which someone can stop you from accessing or looking into their profile. So before we conclude, let’s peek at the available options,
- Unfriend: When someone unfriends you, Facebook removes you from their friend list, and vice-versa. You’ll no longer see each other’s posts.
- Take a break: Exactly as it sounds, the Take a break feature allows you to temporarily limit the interaction between the two people. You’ll not see posts from them on the timeline, but you can visit their profile and check them out anytime.
- Unfollow: When you unfollow someone, you remain friends, but you stop seeing their posts in your news feed.
- Block: Blocking someone on Facebook is a more extreme action. It prevents both users from seeing each other’s content, sending messages, or interacting on Facebook.
