Understand that Facebook does not give FriendFilter access to 100% of the friends on your list. Additionally, there are a few more reasons why your friend count on Facebook and FriendFilter doesn’t match 100%.


⚠️ Reason #1: You removed friends through Facbeook

  • FriendFilter is a 1-way sync, so if you remove friends manually on Facebook.com, it will not be detected by FriendFilter.

  • The app is designed this way for many reasons, including efficiency and security.


⚠️ Reason #2: Hidden (ghost) friends on Facebook’s backend

  • In some cases, your deleted friends remain in your friendlist on the backend. This is a Facebook bug and there is no way for FriendFilter to differentiate these hidden (ghost) friends from your actual friends.


⚠️ Reason #3: Deactivated profiles

  • Some deactivated accounts in your friend list don't have account IDs and cannot be detected by FriendFilter.


✅ Solution:

  • If you removed friends manually on Facebook, or find friends you’ve removed a long time ago:

    • Go to Friends --> Inactive

    • Select friends you have already removed on Facebook

    • Click 'Already Removed'

    • These friends will be moved to the 'Unfriended' Section

  • If you've removed many friends on Facebook and want to start fresh, just request it using the Support email below and we'll clean your database.
