FAQs
Q. How many times can you send a friend request?
The new Facebook policy doesn’t have a clause on the maximum number of friend requests you can send per day. The practical limitation is up to 1000 friend requests. Meaning you can send up to a thousand friend requests on Facebook. Similarly, your account can only have up to 5,000 confirmed friend requests at a time.
Q. Why can’t I find sent Facebook friend requests on the mobile app or web browser?
You can fail to see your friend requests if the recipient has already accepted your request. It could also be due to a violation of Facebook policy violation. You may want to double-check to confirm that all your activities on the platform are in compliance with their User Agreement and Terms and Conditions of use of the social platform. Lastly, the other reason why you can’t seem to find your Facebook friend requests is probably that they have been automatically removed from the platform after the 14 day viability period.
Q. Why am I unable to find a sent friend request on the list?
Your sent request may not be visible on your list because the recipient hasn’t responded to it after 14 days. Another reason why this could be happening is because of a possible violation of Facebook’s privacy policy and user agreement.
