Cancel All Facebook Sent Freind Requests!

Ahmad AwaisAhmad Awais

More often than not you find someone interesting and send them a friend request but don’t get a response. That sucks. Well, getting to undo these sent friend requests sucks more.

Cancel friend requests#

So, here’s an easy way to do it. It worked till 2018-05-21

โžก Step#1: Go to this link on Facebook (it’s a mobile site link).

https://m.facebook.com/friends/center/requests/outgoing/#friends_center_main

โžก Step#2: Scroll to the very end till all requests you sent are loaded.

โžก Step#3: Open Chrome Inspector/DevTools by right-clicking on the page anywhere and selecting Inspect or just press โŒ˜ + โŒฅ + J on Mac for Chrome.

โžก Step#4: Paste the following script and press enter :) โ€” and you’re done.

javascript: var inputs = document.getElementsByClassName('_54k8 _56bs _56bt');
for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) {
    inputs[i].click();
}

All it does is click on all the Undo buttons for you.
Peace! โœŒ

      I just tried and it works. `undefined` doesn’t mean anything โ€” it means that there was no ouput.

    i just wanted to note in case it may be helpful to someone, but i had to scroll to the bottom of my requests, then type in the code. at first it was only deleting the loaded sent requests, so once i scrolled down to the bottom (1000 people took about 3 minutes) it then deleted them all no problem.

    const deleteRequestsTillBottom =()=>{
    const deleteAllRequests =()=>{
    javascript: var inputs = document.getElementsByClassName(‘_54k8 _56bs _56bt’);
    for (var i = 0; i {
    window.scrollBy(0, 1000);
    deleteAllRequests();
    }, 5000)
