If you unfriend someone on Facebook will they know it?

If you unfriend someone on Facebook will they know it? There are people that show up as friends on the FB account that I never marked as a friend. If I press unfriend them will they know it? I get emails about everything they do and it's a pain.

NO ... they will not. But if they "look at" their list of friends and not see you there...they'll know.

I usually "Snooze" people for 30 days.

I wondered the same thing when I BLOCK unwanted emails.

Does it bounce back to sender?

You can hit "unfollow" and you won't see anything from them.

She/he won't receive a notification that you unfriended her. If she checks her list of friends and doesn't see you listed, then she'll either know or she won't care! If you're not a good friend of the person, then I doubt she'd care either! I have a relative who keeps adding "friends" because she wants to have a huge number of friends who "like" her comments and photos. If someone dropped out, she'd never know! If you don't want to receive her posts, unfriend her, or snooze her posts for awhile (and just keep snoozing her!).

How do they get on my friends list if I never friended them?

@Mindy D just click unfollow and that would do it. You won't see anything they send

That's surprising that they are your friends if you didn't accept the request. Never heard of that happening.

@jannabelle1 @Do you mean that they can add you as a friend if you never friended them? Do you mean they can add you to their friends list without you confirming it?
