Can You See Who Unfriend You on Facebook?

Genrally speaking, no. Since, Facebook doesn’t notify you if someone unfriends you. And there isn’t a built-in feature to see a list of people who have unfriended you. However, just likeblocking, there are ways to deduce who unfriened you on Facebook.

Method 1. Visit Their Profile to Check Your Friendship Status

One of the simplest methods to know if someone has unfriended you on Facebook is to check their Facebook timeline. Here’s how you can do it,

Step 1: OpenFacebook. Search for yourfriend’s name.

Step 2: Scroll to find andselect their name.

Step 3: Here, you can find out whether you’re blocked or unfriended,

Tip: If you discover that you’ve been blocked on Facebook and want to take revenge, follow this guide toblock someone who’s blocked you on Facebook.

Method 2. Manually Check Your Facebook Friends List

An alternate method to see who unfriended you on Facebook is to manually check your list of friends.

Step 1: OpenFacebookand tap yourprofile pictureto visit your Facebook feed.

Step 2: Scroll down and selectSee all friends. Here, search for your friend’s name.

If you can’t find the friend in your list, it simply means that you have been unfriended. Moreover, if you can’t nail down who unfriended you, then scroll through the friend list and see if someone is missing.

Method 3. Check Your Facebook Timeline

While this method doesn’t exactly tell who unfriended you on Facebook, it can tell you who’s still your friend. The basic idea is to check a post’s status icon, whether is it a globe (public post) or two people (visible to only friends).

To do so, simply scroll down your timeline and observe the recent posts shared by your friend. If you spot the two people icon, worry not, they are still friends with you.

However, the accuracy of this method depends on a lot of factors,

We know waiting around for someone’s post to show up on your timeline isn’t the ideal solution. The other (above-mentioned) methods are simpler and quicker.

However, this might come in handy if you don’t know who unfriended you. Especially if that person is pretty active on social media. So, if you haven’t seen any updates from them for some time, this could be one of the reasons.

Tip: Not seeing someone posts not necessary means that they have unfriended you, make be they’re just taking a break from you. Check out thedifference between take a break, unfollow and unfriend on Facebookfor further clarifications.

Method 4. Use Third-Party Apps

Be Cautious:Such apps will need access to your Facebook account to do so. A major red flag as it could lead to all kinds of privacy and data breach issues. We’ll suggest against it, but if want to, do so at your own risk.

It’s easier to find an unfriendly friend if you doubt them. But finding someone who unfriended you from that long list of all your Facebook friends isn’t that easy. There are some apps especially designed to help you find that out, likeStill Friends.
