Have you ever sent so many friend requests on Facebook that you lost track? Maybe you’re wondering who hasn’t accepted your request yet. Or perhaps you want to cancel some old ones to clean up your pending invites. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!

How to See Sent Friend Requests

Facebook lets you see all the friend requests you’ve sent but haven’t been accepted. Here’s how you can find them:

On Mobile (Facebook App)

  1. Open the Facebook app.
  2. Tap on the Friends icon (the two silhouettes) at the bottom.
  3. Tap on See All next to Friend Requests.
  4. Now, tap on “See sent requests”.

You’ll now see a list of all the people you’ve sent friend requests to but haven’t accepted.

On Desktop (Facebook Website)

  1. Go to Facebook and log in.
  2. Click on the Friends icon at the top.
  3. Click on See All.
  4. Now, click on View sent requests.

There you go! You now have a full list of your pending friend requests.

How to Cancel Sent Friend Requests

Found some friend requests you no longer want hanging around? Canceling them is super easy.

Cancel Individual Requests

Once you’re on the sent requests page, follow these steps:

  • Find the request you want to cancel.
  • Tap or click on the Cancel Request button next to their name.
  • The request is now canceled, and they won’t be notified!

But what if you have a lot of requests to cancel? Doing it one by one can take forever. Fortunately, there’s a way out!

How to Cancel Friend Requests in Bulk (Fast Method)

Facebook doesn’t give you a direct option to bulk-cancel friend requests, but there’s a simple trick using your browser.

Using a Browser Script (For Desktop Only)

For this method, you’ll need to use your browser’s developer tools. Don’t worry—it’s easy!

  1. Open the sent requests page on Facebook.
  2. Press F12 (or Ctrl + Shift + I) to open Developer Tools.
  3. Go to the Console tab.
  4. Copy and paste the following script into the console:
setInterval(() => {
  document.querySelectorAll("div[aria-label='Cancel request']").forEach(button => button.click());
}, 2000);
  1. Press Enter.

This script will click all “Cancel Request” buttons one by one every two seconds, automatically canceling all pending requests.

Why Should You Cancel Old Friend Requests?

There are a few reasons why you might want to clean up your sent requests:

  • Facebook might temporarily block you from sending new friend requests if you have too many pending.
  • Some people might never accept, so your requests are just sitting there.
  • Keeping your friend list neat and organized is always a good idea.

Final Words

And that’s it! Now you know how to find and cancel sent friend requests—individually or in bulk. Keeping your Facebook clean and free of unnecessary pending requests has never been easier.
