How To View & Cancel Pending Friend Requests In Facebook

We all know very well that Facebook is very cautious about spam, and they wont allow you to send friend requests continuously. First they will give you a simple alert, later a 7 days block for sending requests  further, again if you violate it ,Facebook will block you for 14 days.

I faced a situation where I had sent too many friend requests on Facebook and many were not accepted. I started getting warning message from Facebook as shown below.

Friend request blocked

Many of you might have had similar situation and worried about account getting blocked.
So you may want to remove your pending friend requests. A few days back it was possible to view pending friend requests on Facebook. But later  Facebook changed its interface it becomes impossible to view pending friends request directly. On ‘Edit Friends’, it was possible to view whom you have added but not yet confirmed or pending. But this list doesn’t show pending friends any more.
So what you do now to remove your unaccepted friend requests?
The solution is simple if you want to remove single or recent requests which you might remember whom you had sent.
You may try to remember each person’s name whom you sent a request then go to their profile and remove them from there. But what you do if you don’t remember each persons name separately?
There are two easy solutions for this problem – also for bulk cancelling of friend requests.
First Solution:
The most easiest one is a Facebook application name Pending Friend Requests. Just go to this link while you are logged in your Facebook account. Add this application to your account by clicking ‘Go To App‘.
‘Allow‘ the application to access your info. Then go to the application.

App screen will show up like below. Here you can find all your pending requests using ‘bulk load’.

Once you click on bulk load, below screen appears.

Just follow the steps 1,2,3 in above diagram.
You will reach to a new screen as show below.

Remember one thing you may not be able to remove all requests together, but you can get a list of all users where request is pending. Clicking on ‘Cancel Request’ will take you to the respective friends home page, where you can manually unfriend him like this way.

Second Solution:
There is another method to do the same but you have to install Firefox ‘GreaseMonky’ addon and download a user script for this. Download the script from this link.
So you think are Done? Not yet.
One problem still remains. When you tried to send a request to someone it may still show that message as alert when that ‘someone’ logs in next time!!!
Solution is ‘Edit’ your Basic Information. Just change your gender or some info. If you are male change it to female, if female change it to male, according to the person whom you are sending request to. And don’t forget to hide your gender. Problem fixed and now you will be able to send request again.!!!
