Adding or Removing Friends from Friend List

Adding Friends

There are several ways to add someone as a friend on our platform. The easiest method is to visit their profile page and click the “Add Friend” button.

To add a friend to your network, please follow the steps below:

1. Find and click the “Add Friend” button.
2. Add a personal message for the best chance to have your friend request accepted.
3. Send your request!
   

(i) Note that you must have a premium membership in order to send friend requests.

Apart from the profile page, you can also add a member as a friend from the following places:

• A member’s profile quick view on the search results page, broadcast page, the message center or in the hottest photos or hottest videos pages

• The conversation page on Instant Messenger

• Your hotlist

• By hovering over the “Interact” button in the full-size view of a photo or video in the activity feed or in the hottest photos or hottest videos pages

Why the “Add Friend” Button is Missing?

Sometimes, you might notice that the “Add Friend” button is missing or disabled. If this happens, please review the possible reasons listed below:

You may already have sent a friend request

You won’t see the Add friend button if you’ve previously sent them a request and they haven’t accepted it yet, even if you sent that request years ago.

The person doesn’t accept friend requests and wants to take a break from receiving requests

If you don’t see the “Add Friend” button, it could be because the person you are trying to add isn’t accepting friend requests at the moment. They may have turned off the “Add Friend” link on their profile to take a break from receiving requests. You can check out Privacy Preferences to enable or disable that setting for your own profile.

Removing Friends

1. Log into your account and click on the logo in the upper right corner to access your home page.
2. In the left pane under “My Favorites” click on “Friends”
3. On your My Friend Network or My Friends page, find the friend you’d like to remove from your Friends List.
4. On desktop, click on the red “Unfriend” at the bottom of the Friend Category dropdown, then click “Yes” to confirm you want to remove that friend. If you’re on mobile, tap the gray “x” on the right of the listing for the friend you want to remove. When prompted, tap “Unfriend” to confirm.
5. Once clicked, that member will instantly be removed from your Friends Network.
   

Viewing and Accepting Friend Requests
