This wikiHow teaches you how to view a list of pending friend requests that you have sent to other Facebook users. You can view this list through the Facebook app on your iPhone or the Facebook desktop site. Currently, there is no way to view the list of friend requests you have sent via the Android version of the Facebook app.

Step

Method 1 of 2: On iPhone

Step 1. Open the Facebook app

This app is marked by a dark blue icon with a white “f” on it. The news feed page will open if you are logged into your Facebook account on your phone or tablet.

If not, enter your email address (or phone number) and account password to continue

Step 2. Touch

It's in the lower-right corner of the screen.

Step 3. Touch Friends (“Friends”)

It's at the top of the menu.

Step 4. Touch Outgoing (“Sent”)

This tab is at the top of the screen. You may need to slide the existing row of tabs to the left first.

Step 5. View the list of friend requests you sent

Pending requests that you have submitted will be displayed on this page. Please note that friend requests that have been sent will not be displayed on this page.

You can touch the button " Undo ” (“Cancel”) under a friend request to cancel the request.

Method 2 of 2: On Desktop Site

Step 1. Visit the Facebook website

Enter https://www.facebook.com into the browser's URL box. The news feed page will load if you are logged into your Facebook account.

If not, type in your email address (or phone number) and password before continuing

Step 2. Click the " Friends " icon

This icon looks like a silhouette of two people and is in the top right corner of the Facebook page. Once the icon is clicked, a drop-down menu will appear.

Step 3. Click Find Friends

This link is at the top of the “Friends” drop-down menu.

Step 4. Click View Sent Requests (“View Sent Requests”)

This link is below a pending friend request that someone else sent you.

You may need to swipe up to see this option

Step 5. Review the friend request you sent

Requests under the heading " Friend Requests Sent " ("Friend Requests Sent"), at the top of the page are still awaiting acceptance or rejection from the respective user.

If you want to cancel the friend request, select the button “ Friend Request Sent ” (“Friend Request Sent”) under the username and click “ Cancel Request ” (“Cancel Request”).
