How to Unfriend Someone on Facebook: A Quick Guide

To unfriend someone on Facebook, follow these steps:

Method 1: Using a Desktop Browser:

1. Log In to Your Facebook Account: Open your web browser and go to the Facebook homepage (https://www.facebook.com/). If you’re not already logged in, enter your email address or phone number and password to access your account.
2. Go to the Person’s Profile: Navigate to the Facebook profile of the person you want to unfriend. You can do this by searching for their name in the Facebook search bar or by clicking on their name in your friends’ list or in a post they’ve made.
3. Unfriend the Person: On their profile page, hover your cursor over the “Friends” button. This will bring up a dropdown menu with options. Click on “Unfriend.”
4. Confirm the Unfriend: Facebook will ask you to confirm your decision to unfriend the person. A pop-up window will appear. Click “Unfriend” again to finalize the process.
5. Done: Once you’ve confirmed, the person will be removed from your friends’ list, and you will no longer be connected as friends on Facebook. You will also no longer see their posts in your news feed, and they won’t have access to your non-public posts.

Method 2: Using the Facebook Mobile App:

1. Open the Facebook App: Launch the Facebook app on your mobile device. Make sure you’re logged in to your account.
2. Find the Person’s Profile: Navigate to the Facebook profile of the person you want to unfriend. You can do this by searching for their name in the Facebook search bar or by tapping on their name in your friends’ list or in a post they’ve made.
3. Unfriend the Person: On their profile, tap the “Friends” button. This will open a menu with options. Tap “Unfriend.”
4. Confirm the Unfriend: Facebook will ask you to confirm your decision to unfriend the person. Confirm by tapping “Unfriend” again.
5. Completed: The person will now be removed from your friends’ list, and you will no longer be connected as friends on Facebook through the app. You won’t see their posts in your news feed, and they won’t have access to your non-public posts.

Unfriending someone on Facebook is a private action, and the person you unfriend will not be notified. However, they may realize they’ve been unfriended if they visit your profile or try to interact with your content. Keep in mind that unfriending someone is reversible, and you can send them a friend request again in the future if you change your mind.
