This article explains how to unfriend someone on Facebook. It also explains what happens after your social media friendship ends.

Unfriending someone on Facebook is a quick and easy fix that’s a little more powerful than unfollowing someone, but not as dramatic as blocking someone completely.

When you unfriend someone on Facebook, that person won’t see any messages you send to your friends. Additionally, all direct messages will be filtered into your Message Requests inbox, where you’ll need to approve them before you can read them.

Go to Facebook or open the app and log in, if necessary.
