We also discuss what unfriending means, possible reasons for unfriending, and what to do next.
Only Seeing Public Posts
Facebook won’t notify you if you’ve been unfriended.
However, some clues may help you figure out whether you’re no longer Facebook friends with someone.
First, if you only see someone’s public posts, they may have unfriended you.
Facebook posts have two primaryprivacy options: Public and Friends.
Public posts have a small globe icon.
Friends posts display a small icon of two people.
Only people who are official Facebook friends with the creator can read these posts.
However, this isn’t definitive.
The person may be sharing more public posts lately.
Navigate to yourprofile pageonFacebook.comor within the Facebook app.
SelectFriendsto view your list of Facebook Friends.
Search for the person’s name via the search bar.
Search for the name they use on Facebook if it’s different from their legal name.
If they don’t show up in the search results, they may have unfriended you.
Check Your Friend’s Facebook Profile
Navigate to the individual’s Facebook profile.
If you don’t see their profile, they may have deleted their Facebook account.
If you see their profile and theAdd Friendbutton is visible, you’re currently not friends.
If you suspect this was accidental, send a new friend request.
Blocking someone on Facebookis a drastic action.
They also can’t send you a new friend request.
Why Do Users Unfriend People?
There are many reasons users unfriend someone on Facebook.
Trying to communicate with someone who unfriended you after a disagreement is unwise at best.
Give the situation time and space, and it may resolve naturally.
