How to Unfriend on Facebook: 9 Steps

Are you finding it difficult to manage an ever-increasing friend list on Facebook? Do you want to declutter your newsfeed and keep only those who matter? Unfriending someone on Facebook might seem like a daunting task, but it is a simple process with just a few steps. Follow these nine easy steps to unfriend someone on Facebook:
1. Log in to your Facebook account.
Visit the Facebook website at www.facebook.com and sign in with your email or phone number and password.
2. Go to the profile of the person you want to unfriend.
You can either type their name into the search bar located at the top of the page or visit their profile through your friend list.
3. Find and click on the “Friends” button.
Once you are on their profile, locate the “Friends” button situated below their cover photo, next to the “Message” button. Click on it.
4. Open the dropdown menu.
When you click on the “Friends” button, a dropdown menu will appear with different options such as ‘Get Notifications,’ ‘Close Friends,’ or ‘Acquaintances.’
5. Click on “Unfriend.”
Within that dropdown menu, locate and click on the “Unfriend” option. A confirmation prompt will appear once you click on it.
6. Confirm your action.
Click “Confirm” on the prompt window that appears, asking if you are sure you want to unfriend the person.
7. The person is now removed from your friend list.
After selecting “Confirm,” Facebook will process your request and remove that person from your friend list, thus unfriending them.
8. Repeat for other friends, if necessary.
If there are multiple people you wish to unfriend, go through these same steps for each one of them.
9. Check your updated friend list (optional).
You can review your updated friend list by clicking on “Friends” in your profile or the main Facebook menu, confirming that the people you unfriended are no longer visible.
That’s it! In a few simple steps, you have now successfully unfriended someone on Facebook. Remember, though, once you unfriend someone, they will not be able to see your posts, photos, or updates on their newsfeed. However, your mutual friends might still share information with them. If you want to completely block them from viewing anything on your profile, you can follow Facebook’s blocking procedures for further privacy protection.
