Add Friend Button Not Showing on Facebook

Facebook has become one of the most popular social media platforms, with the most subscribers. The ability to add friends who can follow and read your posts is appealing. So it’s a bummer when you can't add friends on Facebook.

The inability to add a friend on Facebook has numerous causes and is not always indicative of a block. If you're curious about the other reasons, check out the list below to see which one applies to you.

1. Privacy Settings

A person's privacy settings may have changed, preventing you from adding them on Facebook. A few Facebook privacy settings may prevent you from adding someone. With no mutual friends, you won't be able to send them a Friend Request if their Friend Request privacy is set to "Friends of Friends."

2. Account Deactivation

Deactivated accounts may also prevent you from adding them. Unless they entirely remove their account, this generally leaves it up. While their account is deactivated, no one can send them friend requests. Maybe that’s why can't I add someone on Facebook.

3. You have been Blocked

On Facebook, one can prevent others from viewing or interacting with their profile. You also won't be able to access their posts, images, or comments, or message them. Message someone to see whether they've blocked you. You've been blocked if you can't message them at all.

4. You Blocked Them

If you're trying to add someone but can't access their profile, you may have blocked them. It's conceivable you forgot if it's been a while.

5. They Have Reached Their Friend Limit

There is a maximum number of Facebook friends.. You can no longer submit a friend request to someone who has 5000 friends. The person should have 5000 friends on Facebook if you attempt.

6. You Already Sent a Request

If you've previously sent a request to someone, you won't be able to add them until they accept it. If you send a request and they don't add you, it's simple to forget about it.

7. They Denied Your Request

A person may also have declined your request. If you sent a friend request and still see the Add Friend button, that means they declined it. If the Add Friend button is still available, you can send another request.

8. Facebook disabled their account.

If someone is reported to Facebook enough times or is determined to be breaking the Facebook guidelines, their account may be restricted for a period of time. The time ranges range from minutes to weeks. During this time, the person cannot accomplish certain things.
