Friending
Friending on Facebook helps you stay connected with people you care about. Adding a friend means you may see each other’s activity in Feed, Stories and Photos.
When you want to add a friend on Facebook, keep in mind:
You should send friend requests to people you know and trust. Add a friend
by searching for them or directly from People You May Know
.
You can control who can friend and follow you
by editing your privacy settings.
If you don’t want someone to see you on Facebook, learn how to unfriend or block them
.
You can have up to 5,000 friends
at a time.
If you'd like to see updates from people you find interesting but don't know personally, like a journalist or celebrity, try following them instead
. If you're getting unwanted or inappropriate friend requests, you can report the account.
