Facebook: Friendship request rejected - can you see that?

You send a Facebook friend request, but don't get an answer. We'll reveal if you can see if the request was rejected.

Review rejected friend requests on Facebook

If you have not received a response to friend requests on Facebook for a long time, it may well be that your request was rejected.

• Unfortunately, it is not possible to see whether your friend request was actually rejected by the other side.
• Nor can you see which Facebook friend requests from other people you have declined or deleted.
• However, you can check which of your outgoing friend requests have not yet been answered.
• To do this, click on the friendship symbol at the top of the Facebook bar and select "Show all" at the bottom of the window that appears.
• In the window that is now open, you can select the link "Show sent friend requests" below the heading. Again the note: Here you will only see friend requests that you have sent but have not yet been answered.
• By the way: If you reject a friend request yourself, your counterpart will not receive a notification about it.
• However, a rejected friend request is also considered answered and is then no longer included in the above list.
