This article shows you how to find out who your best friends are on Facebook. These are the people you interact with most often and search regularly. Remember that Facebook uses a dedicated algorithm to determine who your best friends are within the platform and this algorithm is often changed.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Mobile Devices
Step 1. Launch the Facebook app
Tap the corresponding icon with the white letter "f" on a dark blue background. If you are already logged into your account, your profile's Home tab will appear.
If you are not logged in yet, enter your email address and security password before continuing
Step 2. Press the ☰ button
It is located in the lower right corner of the screen (on iPhone) or in the upper right corner (on Android). You could look for the "Friends" button on the top and click on that instead.
Step 3. Scroll down the menu, choose Find Friends option and then click on All of the friends.
You can find this option at the top of the page.
Step 4. Check your friends list
All the people who are listed at the top of the list, according to Facebook's algorithm, represent your best friends.
- All users who appear at the bottom of the list are people you interact with less frequently than those who appear at the top of the friends list.
- As a general rule, you should consider the top 5-10 names on the list as the people you are most in contact with on Facebook. This scenario takes into account the relationship you have with these people, but not necessarily what they have towards you.
Method 2 of 2: Computer
Step 1. Log in to the Facebook website
Use your computer browser to access the web address If you are already logged into your account, the most up-to-date version of the feed will be displayed.
If you are not logged in yet, enter your email address and security password in the text fields
Step 2. Click on the tab with your username
It is located at the top right of the Facebook page. Your profile will be displayed.
Step 3. Click on the Friends tab
It is located below the profile cover image visible at the top of the page. Your friends list will be displayed.
Step 4. Review your friends list
Those who appear at the top of the list are the people that the Facebook algorithm considers your best friends (for example the people you are in close contact with).
- Keep in mind that the top 5-10 names on the list are the people you keep in touch with the most. In this case, the interactions you have with these people are taken into account, but not necessarily the ones they have towards you.
- The people who appear in the other places on your friends list are the ones you communicate with the least on Facebook. The only exception to this rule is people you just put on your friends list and you immediately started chatting with or are reading posts about.
