In this article, we&#8217;ll show you how to confirm a friend request, add a new friend, and report a fake account. You&#8217;ll also learn how to confirm a friend request and check the date of the most recent event in a prospective friend&#8217;s timeline. Let&#8217;s get started! &#8211; Sign in to Facebook. Once you&#8217;ve signed in, find your friend&#8217;s profile and click on the &#8220;Add friend&#8221; button.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add_a_new_friend\"><\/span>Add a new friend<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To add a new friend on Facebook, you must log in to your account and click on the &#8216;Add a Friend&#8217; option next to their profile photo. Your privacy settings may also affect this process. Logging in to Facebook requires that you use an email address and a password. Once you&#8217;ve successfully logged in, click on the &#8216;Add a Friend&#8217; button. The person you&#8217;d like to add will then receive a friend request, which they can accept or decline.<\/p>\n<p>If the person is not able to accept your friend request, you can contact them off-FB and ask them to add you as a new friend. If the other user doesn&#8217;t respond to your request, they&#8217;ll likely block you from adding them as a friend. You can also ask them to add you as a friend if you&#8217;re not familiar with each other&#8217;s profile. This will allow you to contact them outside of Facebook, and you&#8217;ll get a notification if they accept your friend request.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Confirm_a_friend_request\"><\/span>Confirm a friend request<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes you&#8217;ll receive a friend request on Facebook, but you&#8217;re unsure about the person. You can either ignore the request or click on the name of the person to visit their profile. If you see a friend request from someone you&#8217;d like to become friends with, you can click to confirm the friendship or delete the request. It&#8217;s a good idea to follow up after accepting the request, though.<\/p>\n<p>After accepting a friend request, the person can view information that&#8217;s set to be accessible by other users. This may include pictures, posts, and videos. This will depend on your Facebook privacy settings. The privacy settings are located under &#8216;Privacy Settings &amp; Tools&#8217;. When you accept a request, Facebook will display a message confirming that you received the request. This message should be sent to the person&#8217;s email address.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Report_a_fake_account\"><\/span>Report a fake account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have noticed that someone has created a fake profile or page, you should report them to Facebook. You can do this by searching for the account name, or by requesting a link to the account from a friend. Fake accounts often have blank profile images, suspicious friends, and are not a good sign. To report a fake account, go to your profile and look for three dots near the cover photo. From there, select Find support and Report Profile.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not have a Facebook account, you can still report the fake account by filling out the form. Facebook only responds to reports that are made by the impersonated person. The form will vary depending on what the impersonated person has previously entered. You can also ask the impersonated person to fill in the form if they have one. After filling in the form, you can wait for a response from Facebook.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Send_a_friend_request_from_an_alternate_account\"><\/span>Send a friend request from an alternate account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To be safe, don&#8217;t send a friend request on Facebook from a fake account. Fake accounts may use derivatives of your name to create fake profiles. They can set up scams by pretending to be you to steal your personal information. In such cases, you should report them immediately and warn your friends to ignore the fake request. If you&#8217;ve been scammed by a fake account, you should report it to Facebook immediately.<\/p>\n<p>To send a friend request on Facebook from an alternate or different account, you must log into your account. Go to the Facebook app and open it. Look for the &#8220;Facebook&#8221; button. Then click on the name of the person you&#8217;re trying to contact. You&#8217;ll see a list of people you&#8217;re mutually friends with. Click on the one you&#8217;d like to add.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/quf5a0wrkXQ\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"498\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"278\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Request Friend on Facebook If you are wondering how to request friend on Facebook, you&#8217;ve come to the right place.
