How to Cancel All Friend Request Sent on Facebook in One Click

If you’ve been using Facebook for a long time and made a lot of friend requests to grow the community around your account, you may have come across an issue, that is, Facebook does not allow you to make other friend requests anymore.

In fact, Facebook allows you to have up to 5000 friends, but you can not have more than 1,000 friend requests in pending state. You realize that not all of whom you sent the requests will respond to them, so you need to cancel them to be able to make new ones.

But how to handle this task if you have a few hundreds of them? How to cancel all friend request sent by you?

Well, there are 2 possibilities: one manual and slow using the Facebook web interface or mobile app, and another one automatic and fast with the help of a tiny code snippet. Let’s explore both of them to help you choose which one works for you best.

#1. The Manual Method – Using the Facebook Web Interface

  1. Go to Facebook website, log in to your Facebook account if requested and click on the “People” icon on the top bar.
  2. Then click on “Friend Requests” link.

  3. Click on “View Sent Requests” in the top box, and a list with all your friend requests will be displayed.

  4. Beside every pending request there is a button like “Friend Request Sent” thingy. Just hover your mouse over it and click “Cancel Request” option in the drop-down menu that appears. Do this for every friend request in that list.

Depending on how many friend requests you have, this task may be VERY time consuming, because the operation usually takes 2 or 3 seconds per request, or even more. And it’s boring… ?

And here comes to the rescue the method number 2!

#2. The Automatic Method (sort of)

I am an IT guy and I like automation, and if you want to cancel all friend requests sent by you and make it in a blink of the eye, then this is for you!

This method was tested with Google Chrome and Firefox browsers. Here are the steps:

  1. Go to the Facebook Friends Mobile Site and sign in if requested. Use a desktop or laptop computer for this, not a mobile device. Here is the link:
    https://m.facebook.com/friends/center/requests/outgoing/
  2. Scroll down all the way to the bottom as many times as necessary to force all friend requests to load into the page.
  3. Open Developer Tools->Console and paste this little script in the console:
    var inputs = document.getElementsByClassName('_54k8 _52jg _56bs _26vk _2b4n _56bt');
    for(var i=0; i<inputs.length;i++) {inputs[i].click();}

The last step requires using your browser’s Developer Tools, which may be activated by using F12 key, or by right-clicking and choosing “Inspect Element” option in the contextual menu. Then select the Console tab where you are supposed to paste the javascript code mentioned above.

As I mentioned before, only Chrome and Firefox have been tested with this method, but it should work with any other browser.

This second method usually takes just a couple seconds to complete.


PS: If you have a lot of pending friend requests and you want to get rid of them fast, try using the automatic method. And please, don’t forget to share with us your experience by commenting below.
