Q&A: Can I block ‘App Invites’ from just one Facebook friend?

How to find and remove ‘ghost friends’ from your Friends List on Facebook

Posted on December 7, 2020

Facebook is a vast community consisting of approximately 2 billion users, and over time it’s easy to amass a large number of “Facebook friends”.

As your friends list grows, it’s inevitable that some of your friends will deactivate their accounts for some reason but never got around to actually deleting it.
