A lot of marketers now use Facebook as a way to connect with fellow entrepreneurs, clients, coaches, and leaders.
Facebook [Meta] has now become a really great tool for communication, allowing us to directly message pretty much anyone.
Today, I’d like to share a 3-step tutorial to remove/cancel all the pending friend requests you have sent on Facebook in one click.
(Even if you have iOS or Android, I suggest you do this on a laptop).
This works as of August 2024.
Step 1 – Go to the Facebook Friends Mobile Site and Scroll Down to the Bottom
The link is https://m.facebook.com/friends/center/requests/outgoing/#friends_center_main

Don’t forget to scroll down that list all the way to the bottom.
Step 2 – Go to the Chrome/Firefox Console
You can right-click anywhere on the page and then select Inspect.
or you can press alt+cmd+J on Chrome.
Step 3 – Paste this script on the console
var inputs = document.getElementsByClassName('_54k8 _52jg _56bs _26vk _2b4n _56bt');
for(var i=0; i != inputs.length; i++) {
inputs[i].click();
}That’s it! You’re done.
Manual Method
If there’s only one specific friend request you want to cancel, you can do so by
- Going to your sent friend requests.
- Hovering over Friend Request Sent next to the request you’d like to cancel.
- Selecting Cancel Request > Cancel Request.

Hola Alejandro,
This script worked like a jem.
Do you have one to to add all mutual friends listed on https://www.facebook.com/friends? Ideally, only auto add all who I have 20+ mutual friends with.
thank u so much
I was facing trouble to cancel request one by one , this script worked for me very well, thanks!

Does not work….
As of today the current script worked for me! Thanks so much!
glad it did!
Really nice.. Saved a lot of my time. Thank you
As of October 7th, it doesn’t work
Thanks you
The script worked fine for me, I had 1000 sent requests (unanswered) which is apparently the limit.
🙂
if you have 5000 friend request you can add this on the script
for(let i=0; i{
scrollTo(0, 1000000)
}, i*5000);
};
As of Aug. 9th 2019, it worked 100%.
its easy and fast.
Thanks a lot Alejandro.
🙂
It worked like a charm. Thanks Alejandro.
It seems that the class name changed.
” class=”ba bc bt bu bb” seems to be the name for the “Cancel invitation” box
however this script :
javascript:var inputs = document.getElementsByClassName(‘ba bc bt bu bb’);
for(var i=0; i<=inputs.length;i++){inputs[i].click();}
only delete one invitation
It Doesn’t work ;(
I didn’t paste the script but knowing that your url link me to the page where i can remove those sent requests one-by-one is totally a heaven. Thank u so much for posting this, can’t thank you enough. You provide more concrete and specific answers to any FB admin posts i came across.
I’m glad to hear this 🙂 let me know if you have other ideas for posts about FB tricks
I pasted it in the console and nothing happened. Am I supposed to do something?
Sadly still not working. It keeps saying “Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token” and the “_54k8 _52jg _56bs _26vk _56b_ _5uc3 _3cqr _56bt” part is getting underlined in red colour. Seems that the class name is incorrect. Ideas?
javascript:var inputs = document.getElementsByClassName(“_54k8 _52jg _56bs _26vk _56b_ _5uc3 _3cqr _56bt”);
for(var i=0; i<= inputs.length;i++){inputs[i].click();}
thanks for sharing!
i updated it , it’s working well now 🙂
javascript:var inputs = document.getElementsByClassName(“_54k8 _52jg _56bs _26vk _56b_ _5uc3 _3cqr _56bt”);

Looks like it needs to be updated again. Worked earlier this year.

The script used to work fine but now I receive messages that say’Stop ” Cross-Origin-aanvraag geblokkeerd: de Same Origin Policy staat het lezen van de externe bron op https://1-edge-chat.facebook.com/pull?channel=p_100003159628724&seq=31&partition=-2&clientid=6be8e9f3&cb=a2rm&idle=1&qp=y&cap=8&pws=fresh&isq=323537&msgs_recv=31&uid=100003159628724&viewer_uid=100003159628724&sticky_token=345&sticky_pool=lla1c26_chat-proxy&state=active&mode=stream&format=json niet toe.

So the request is blocked, any idea how to slove this?
it’s fixed now!
thanks you so much for the script 🙂
I extremely like these types of posts which are composed in basic written work with the goal that everybody can understand it, and everybody can understand what message authors needs to pass on. The style of your is exceptionally one of a kind however straightforward what you need to say in this discussion.Education contain diverse task like exposition, task, research paper writing and a significant number of the student can’t finish their assignment effectively inside the time.
