Tired of receiving friend request from one particular person on Facebook over and over again. You don’t want to block the person on Facebook because he/she is either related to you or as a senior colleague. All you have to think now is to permanently stop that person from sending you friend request in future.

In this article, you don’t need to block them anymore. When you stop someone from sending you friend request without blocking on Facebook, they won’t be able to see that send friend request button whenever they view your Facebook profile.

How do I permanently stop that someone from sending you friend request in future?

Please note that this feature is only possible on web browser only.

1. Login to Facebook with your favorite web browser
2. Go to your Timeline
3. Click on Friends

Adding someone as spam means that you do not recognize the person. The friend request might have been by mistake. From that day, he/she won’t be able to send you friend request. You can still undo the action.
