Not Able To Send Friend Requests
If you are not able to send a friend request that has to be one of the five reasons listed below.
- The user has disabled or deactivated their account. Facebook doesn’t allow friend requests to disabled or deactivated accounts.
- The person in concern has added you to their restricted list. If you are added to a restricted list by someone then you won’t be able to send them friend requests.
- This is the most common in all cases. The person in concern has rejected your friend request.
- Facebook sometimes faces some technical issues and it can be the result of that as well. You can wait for some time or a day and try again.
- When you send too many friend requests in a short time, Facebook temporarily blocks you from sending any further requests. This temporary block lasts for about 24 hours and you can get back at it after that.
