Facebook is one of the most popular social media platforms in the world. With over 2 billion monthly active users, it’s no wonder marketers are drawn to it like moths to a flame. One of the great things about Facebook is that you can easily connect with friends from your past. However, there may be times when you want to request access to these friends’ Facebook profiles but your request is not being accepted. Why is this happening? There could be a few reasons, but we’ll explore a solution for you in this article.
Why are Facebook friends requests not working?
Since Facebook implemented the new privacy policy that requires users to approve anyone who wants to be friends with them, many people are seeing requests from friends not working. The issue is that Facebook has changed the way friend requests work and, as a result, many people are not getting accepted requests. Here's how to fix the problem:
- Open Facebook and click on the main menu in the upper left-hand corner of the screen.
- Click on Settings and then on General.
- Under App permissions, make sure that Require friend acceptance is checked.
- Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.
How to fix Facebook friends request not accepting issue
There could be a few reasons why your Facebook friends request might not be accepting.
Here are some tips on how to fix the issue:
- Make sure you have added all of your Facebook friends correctly. If you have made any changes to your Facebook profile since adding your friends, make sure you update these details in the Friend Request Addition section of your account settings.
- If you haven't sent out a friend request in a while and your Facebook friends list has changed, it may take up to 48 hours for updated requests to be accepted. Make sure you send out new requests at least every 2-3 days so that they'll be accepted more quickly.
- Try sending a friend request from an alternate account if yours appears to be rejecting requests due to high activity levels or suspicious activity on the part of your account holder (for example, reported abuse or spam). This can help reduce the chance that suspicious activity will cause future friend requests to be rejected.

Conclusion
If you are having trouble accepting Facebook friend requests, there is a solution. First, check your settings to make sure that you have turned on notifications for new friend requests. If you have not done this yet, go to Settings -> General -> Notifications and turn on the toggle next to Facebook. After turning on notifications, reload your Facebook page and try accepting friends again. Sometimes when we are busy or distracted, we may not see new friend requests immediately.
