How to unfriend a friend on Facebook



By: Ola Pat

Often there are situations that require that one remove a particular friend from one’s circle of friends on facebook, just as you can disassociate them in real life. A friend is someone that has been given access to one’s information, timeline and can see whatever you or another friend write on your timeline or wall on facebook just by accepting his/her friendship request or anybody that accept your friendship request.  Also, you can monitor the activity of anybody on facebook by following them that means you don’t have to be their friend to be able to monitor the activities on their timeline or wall. One of the differences between a friend and a person being followed is that you will not be able to message the person. For the followed person to access the inbox message, he/she will require a little technical knowledge (this I will deal with sometime in the near future). There are other difference too but this is not the focus of this HOW TO TECHY. Here is how to de-friend a facebook friend.

1    Locate the person you want to unfriend.


2.      Get to the person’s wall or timeline by click his/her name.

3.      On the person's wall click About.


4.      This takes you to the person’s Profile page

5.      Scroll down and click on Unfriend or Unfollow.

6.      You will be asked to confirm that you want to remove the person from your list of friends.

7.      Click Confirm to remove or cancel to retain the friendship.


8.      You will then receive a message confirming the remover of the person.
