This doesn’t work, there is no option as mentioned above.
Try this: Go to your profile > Open up the activity log (look for 3 dots under your profile picture) > Connections > Sent friend requests.
thanks a lot
Happy to help! 🙂
Hi,
On my app the 3 dots don’t appear. Not on my phone nor on my desktop. Further more my pages don’t look exactly the same as the sample above. Tried to refresh the app but I have the latest available version. So what am I missing?
I’ve no idea why it’s not available for some users. But I found something through the app, that might be work for you.
Go to your profile > Open up the activity log (look for 3 dots under your profile picture) > Connections > Sent friend requests.
This doesn’t appear to work this way anymore…
Still looks fine. Try https://www.facebook.com/friends/requests.
Hi! This goes for desktop.
Maybe you already figured it out, but once you’ve clicked “friends”, there’s a blue text “see all” under the settings symbol up right. Click that and the text “view sent requests” will appear to the right.
