http://terrycrosbyblog.com/facebooktutorials/facebook-new-firend-request-and-... Facebook has changed the way we reject a friend request. We used to click "ignore" when rejecting a friend request. We now click "Not Now". This hides the friend request without letting the person know there request has been hidden. We are then given the option to click "Don't know . . . ". If we choose this option that person will be blocked from adding you as a friend. If you don't want to choose "Don't know. . . " you have to click on the "requests page" to go to another page to reject the friend request. Rejecting a friend request is now a 2 step process.

Facebook also added a new follow feature. When someone requests to be your friend on Facebook, they automatically subscribe to all of your public ("Everyone") posts. They are now able to follow your public updates in their News Feed. Their subscription ends once you reject or choose "Don't know. . . "

I have created a follow up video that shows you where to find your hidden friend requests http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiJGCxCCbOk

  • How will you know if you're blocked?.. Like because i had a friend and later when i come on now i don't see them and when i look up their name they don't come up..

  • @leonx245 click on account in top left corner; click on find friends; You will land on a page that has a search bar at the top. Type that friends name in to see if they show up. If they don't you are no longer friends. If you can't find him at all on Facebook most likely you have been blocked

  • nice vid. appreciate it!

  • Because sending requests to strangers is considered spam, your friend requests have been blocked for 30 days. Please visit the help center to learn more or let us know if you believe we've made a mistake.
