How do I accept or ignore a friend or follow request?

You can find all your open requests on the Requests page. Press the person icon in the top navigation bar to get there.

To accept or ignore a request:

1. Go to the Requests page
2. Find the request under "Friend Requests" or "Follow Requests"
3. Press "Accept" (on larger screens it reads "Accept Friend" or "Accept Follow") or "Ignore"

You can also accept or ignore a friend request from the banner at the top of the sender's profile.

Members aren't notified when you ignore a request. To them, it looks like the request is still pending.

How do I undo an ignored request?

1. Go to the Ignored page, or press "view ignored" on the Requests page
2. Open the "Friend Requests" or "Follow Requests" tab
3. Press "Undo"

The request goes back to your Requests page, where you can accept it.

You can also press "Delete" to remove an ignored request for good. Deleting a request lets the member send you a new one.

Why do I get follow requests?

You only get follow requests if you turned on "New followers must be approved first". Learn more in How do I approve new followers?
