Posts evolved from “Statuses,” which originally only allowed users to share text updates about what they were doing or what was on their mind in that moment.

Friends
These are people you’ve either sent a request to and they’ve accepted or people who have sent you a request and you’ve accepted.

Unlike other social networking sites that allow someone to follow you without you following them back, Facebook Profiles require both you and the other person to be friends with each other in order to engage.


A personal account for an individual cannot have more than 5,000 friends (and it’s not a good idea to make a second Facebook profile to get around this rule).

Followers
Followers are people who have opted to receive updates denmark whatsapp number database from a specific page or profile.

When you add new friends, you automatically follow them (and they follow you, too). This is Facebook’s way of adding this new friend to your newsfeed and making sure you see their posts (at least for a little while unless you stop engaging with them).

Facebook also allows you to “unfollow” individuals without unfriending them.
