The system displays a maximum of 20 friends at any given time. You can either refresh the screen to view a new set of 20 friends or type their name into the search bar to check your friends’ status with them. If you are friends with them, you will see the word ‘Friends.’ If you are not friends, you will see the option to ‘Add Friend.’
When you add someone as a friend, they also become your followers. Unfriending a friend means they cease to be both your friend and follower. Therefore, when selecting who can see your friends list you can choose either ‘My Community’ (Friends & Family) or ‘My Followers’ (Page followers). The additional option of ‘My Followers’ is due to the fact that on your Pages, you can only have followers. To learn more about Page followers,, click here. It is important to understand that anyone within your ‘My Community’ bubble gains entry following a request and acceptance process, whereas following a Page does not require a user to send a request followed by acceptance to become a follower.
