I'm one of the fan of Facebook. I used it as a tool to communicate with my family and love ones. But recently I received so much friend request notification and I can't even handle or I don't have time to confirm or reject those notification.
So I decided to limit those who can send request to me to be their friend. I manage to do some changes on my privacy setting.
Remove Add Friend button
To see what button that you are currently using you can preview your profile.
How to do it:
- On your "Profile" click the small icon with drop down beside the activity log, click "view as"
Now let start removing the "Add Friend" button.
Steps:
- Click on Privacy shortcuts button (Beside "HOME")
- Click "who can contact me?"
- Then on "who can send me friend request?"
- Choose "Friends of Friends"
Note: Removing "Add Friend" button is not totally removing it, you just made a restriction who can send you a friend request. In this case only "friends of friends" can send you friend request not "everyone".
If in case you don't have "Subscribe" button on your profile just enable it.
How to do it: Go to
- Account setting --> Subscriber (on the left corner) --> check "Allow Subscriber".
That's the end of my tutorial. I hope it helps you.
