How To Turn Off Friend Request On Facebook

Описание: If you’re looking to turn off friend requests on Facebook, it’s important to know that Facebook does not currently offer a full "disable friend requests" option. However, you can significantly limit who can send you a friend request by changing your privacy settings. This reduces the likelihood of receiving requests from strangers and gives you more control over your connections.

To start, make sure the Facebook app on your device is updated to the latest version. Once updated, open the app and log into your account. Tap on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-right corner of the screen, then scroll down and select 'Settings & privacy,' followed by 'Settings.'

Within the Settings menu, scroll to the section labeled 'Audience and visibility.' Tap on 'How people find and contact you.' Under this section, look for the setting that says 'Who can send you friend requests?' By default, this is usually set to 'Everyone,' meaning anyone on Facebook can send you a request.

To reduce this, tap on the setting and switch it to 'Friends of friends.' This means only users who share mutual friends with you will be able to send a request, effectively filtering out most strangers. While this doesn't turn friend requests off entirely, it is the most restrictive option Facebook currently allows.

If you're still receiving unwanted requests, consider tightening other privacy settings like hiding your friend list, limiting who can search for you by email or phone number, and adjusting your profile visibility. These changes collectively reduce your discoverability on the platform.
