5 Quick Ways to Filter Out Inactive Friends on Facebook

Filtering out inactive Facebook friends on both phone and computer is quite simple with just a few steps. However, you'll need to use some supporting tools and utilities. Below, Mytour will guide you through quick ways to filter out inactive friends on Facebook on your phone and computer.

The Benefits of Filtering Friends on Facebook

You might have a large number of friends on Facebook but not many engage with you for various reasons. Filtering out inactive friends on Facebook can bring you many benefits such as:

• More space to connect with new friends: Facebook limits friend requests to 5,000 people. So, filtering out those who interact less or no longer communicate will give you more space to connect with desired friends.
• Removing accounts you no longer interact with: Sometimes you accidentally accept friend requests from people you don't even know. Or you and they have no contact whatsoever.
• Protecting privacy rights: Helps safeguard your privacy, especially from harmful friends, protecting your personal data.
• Optimized Facebook feed: Facebook will only display content you're interested in and people you want to connect with.

Considerations when filtering inactive Facebook friends

Through the above content, you've learned how to filter out inactive friends on Facebook using both computer and mobile. However, there are some considerations to keep in mind when filtering friends on Facebook:

• Filtering and unfriending friends in bulk on Facebook using a third-party app is not within Facebook's management rights. Therefore, it may trigger a checkpoint. As a result, your Facebook account may be temporarily locked. You can wait for the lockout period to end and then log back into Facebook. Or try unlocking Facebook.
• After filtering Facebook friends via the app on your phone, unlink your Facebook from the MonokaiToolkit app. This is to protect your Facebook information from being exposed, especially avoiding personal information leakage.

So, Mytour has shared with you various ways to filter out inactive friends on Facebook quickly using both phone and computer. Hopefully, with Mytour's detailed instructions, you'll succeed on your first attempt.
