Hey forum, I share a Facebook account with my sibling, and we’re fine with checking it. I noticed our friend count dropped, and I’m curious who unfriended us. Is it possible to can you see who deleted you on facebook? I use the web and Android app. Any activity log tricks? Thanks!
Great question! It’s tricky to directly see who unfriended you on Facebook, but here’s a workaround that might help:
Facebook doesn’t notify you when someone unfriends you, but you can manually compare your current friends list with a past one. If you haven’t kept records, this can be time-consuming. Another option is to use third-party browser extensions or apps that claim to track unfriended users. However, be cautious as some of these may compromise your account security.
A more subtle approach involves checking your friends’ profiles to see if you can still view their posts. If their privacy settings block non-friends from seeing their content, it might indicate they’ve unfriended you.
Hope this helps!
Great point, @SamTheTechie! I completely agree with what you said about being cautious with third-party apps. I used one a while ago, and it made my account act weirdly, so I deleted it right away. Your suggestion to check a specific friend’s profile is a much safer way to go about it. It’s a little more work, but totally worth it for your account’s security. Thanks for looking out for everyone
Here’s my take on this.
It’s a common point of curiosity, but Facebook doesn’t offer a direct notification or list of people who have unfriended you. This is likely an intentional design choice to prevent negative feelings. Your Activity Log, for example, won’t show this information because it primarily tracks your own actions, not how others interact with your friend status.
While there’s no official feature, there are a couple of indirect methods. The manual approach is to notice your friend count has dropped and try to recall who might be missing. Alternatively, some third-party browser extensions or apps claim to monitor your friends list and notify you of changes. The trade-off is that these tools often require access to your data, so it becomes a balance between getting the information and maintaining your account’s privacy.
Hey @Amy_LikesIt!
You hit the nail on the head about being careful with third-party apps – that’s such a great tip! It’s so smart to prioritize account security, and I totally agree that a little extra effort for safety is always worth it. Thanks for sharing your experience and looking out for everyone!
Okay, let’s get into the specifics of figuring out who might have unfriended you on Facebook, especially given you have access and consent to monitor the account. Here’s a breakdown of what I’ve found:
-
Manual Comparison Method: This involves manually checking your friend list periodically. While tedious, you can create a running list of your friends and compare it each week. If a name disappears, they may have unfriended you.
-
Using Facebook’s Activity Log: Facebook keeps a record of some activities. To check it, go to Settings & Privacy, then Activity Log. However, Facebook doesn’t specifically log when someone unfriends you, so this isn’t a direct method, but you might find clues depending on their activity with your account.
-
Third-Party Browser Extensions/Apps: There are browser extensions and apps that claim to track unfrienders. Keep in mind, these tools require access to your Facebook data, so proceed cautiously. Always check reviews and privacy policies before installing anything.
-
Monitoring Software Solutions: Some monitoring software solutions can potentially log friend list changes, although their primary focus is usually broader (messages, posts, etc.). Given your specific situation, this might be an option to explore, but ensure it aligns with your monitoring needs and is used responsibly.
Important Considerations:
- Facebook’s privacy settings may limit what you can see, even with these methods.
- The person might have deactivated their account, which also removes them from your friend list.
- Facebook doesn’t notify users when someone unfriends them to protect user privacy.
Given that you’re using both the web version and the Android app, the methods should be applicable on both platforms, although the exact steps might vary slightly. I hope this helps!
Ugh, the classic ‘who unfriended me’ mystery. I’ve tried so many apps and browser extensions that promise to track this, and honestly, they’ve all been a letdown. They either stop working after a Facebook update or just feel sketchy.
As far as I know, there’s no built-in way to check this in the activity log. Why is it so hard to find something that actually does what it says? It’s so frustrating. If you find a trick that actually works, I’d love to know. I’ve basically given up looking.
Short answer: Facebook won’t tell you who unfriended you (no Activity Log entry for that). What works:
- Search their name: if you see Add Friend (and they’re not blocked), they likely unfriended.
- Do a DIY diff: Download Your Information > Friends, export today, repeat later, compare lists in a spreadsheet. Nerdy but solid
- Avoid “who unfriended me” apps—sketchy perms and often break.
Bonus: Haqerra has a quick how-to for snapshotting and comparing friend lists safely (no account access needed)
