Unfriend Someone on Facebook
You can unfriend someone on Facebook easily. The process is the same for PC and Mobile devices as the profiles are the same in both devices. Here’s how you can unfriend someone on Facebook.
- Go to facebook.com and login to your account.
- Go to the profile of the person you want to unfriend.
- Click on the grey button, which says “✓Friends.”
- A drop-down menu will appear. Click “Unfriend” in it.
- The user will be unfriended.
The person will be no longer your Friend (on Facebook). Although he/she will not receive a notification that you have unfriended them, they’ll know when they’ll visit your profile or message you.
If you don’t want them to know that you have unfriended them and still don’t want to see their uploads, then you can unfollow them.
