Facebook: Unfollow people and pages

See comments section for more up-to-date versions of the script. The original script is from 2014 and will not work as is.

Open news feed preferences on your Facebook menu (browser)
Click people or pages
Scroll down (or click see more) until your full list is loaded
Run the script in your browser console

Facebook will block this feature for you while you use it, depending on how much entities you try to unfollow. It automatically unblocks in a couple of hours and you will be able to continue.

@zeeatsh I'm glad the script worked for you. However, unfortunately, I see no way to unfollow/unfriend friends from the activity log. It may be possible from public profile page, but it would be a pain to create and maintain considering how Facebook CSS classes are minified. I mean, what is this?

There's no gaurentee these classes will remain consistent for more than two days. I wrote a script for me that worked that day, two days later, everything is broken. Point being, this sort of task may have to be done with an application made by C# that uses Facebook APIs. Hopefully, someone creates that soon.

Hi BookOfCooks,

I did what your advice and it popped up "Promise {: undefined}", also appears as follows (read at the bottom on the right-hand corner):-

After I entered,

const promise1 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
resolve('Success!');
});

promise1.then((value) => {
console.log(value);
// expected output: "Success!"
});

it then became

Success!
Promise {: undefined}

But when I entered again what you provided to us, it came back same message, appears as follow:-

Promise {: undefined}

@COFFEEHOLIC47 It's because you have no liked pages ("Nothing to show" is said in the screenshot). In other words, the script worked, it just didn't do anything because there's nothing to do. If you're trying to unfriend/unfollow friends (not pages), I don't have a working script for that, and as I told [zeeatsh] in my latest reply, I have no possible way of doing it with Javascript (at least, as far as I am aware of).

cosmoshiki · 2022-11-23T15:32:29Z

i run the script today, not working anymore, hope there will be updates soon

boc-github-user · 2022-11-27T16:16:10Z

@cosmoshiki did you try the latest solution in this thread?

busonolsun · 2022-11-30T16:36:57Z

@cosmoshiki did you try the latest solution in this thread?

@boc-github-user
Is there a ready-made script that can currently unfollow all the "https://www.facebook.com/{username}/following" page?
I don't understand what the final solution is. For this reason, I cannot apply the last solution step.

cosmoshiki · 2022-12-01T08:36:00Z

I didd, i already tried the latest one

@busonolsun No there isn't. You have to use the activity log, here's the steps: (this can also work for you @cosmoshiki )

Open Facebook > Open your profile (https://www.facebook.com/{username})
On the right-hand side, click the "..." button > Activity Log
Go to Connections > Pages, page likes and interests
Scroll down as far down as you can (this ensures the script unlikes everything)

The benefit of using the Activity Log is you can unlike deleted/inactive pages, which you can't do in https://www.facebook.com/{username}/following because Facebook ciphers the css classes.

Then run this script (I can make it much more performant later):

(async () => {
    var logs = document.querySelectorAll(selectors().log);
    for (let i = 0; i < logs.length; i++) {
        try {
            const logElement = logs[i];
            logElement.querySelector(selectors().moreActions).click();
            await wait(1500);
            document
                .querySelector(selectors().unlikeBtn)
                .firstChild.firstChild.click();
            await wait(500);
            i--;
        }
        catch (error) {
            console.log(error);
        }
    }
})();
function selectors() {
    return {
        log: `[class="om3e55n1 jl2a5g8c alzwoclg"]`,
        moreActions: `[aria-label="Action options"]`,
        unlikeBtn: `[role="menu"] [class="alzwoclg cqf1kptm cgu29s5g om3e55n1"]`,
    };
}
function wait(milliseconds) {
    return new Promise((resolve) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
            resolve(null);
        }, milliseconds);
    });
}

Great script
in https://www.facebook.com/{username}/following there are a list of people and pages
a person has an "add friend" button in front it's name
Can someone tune this script so that it only unfollow the persons in that following list?

mdnayemhossain · 2023-05-15T19:34:15Z

Can anyone give me the updated script that will unfollow all the following people from Facebook? Cause all the above scripts don't work anymore.

kevindashgit · 2023-06-15T16:24:54Z

The script I posted a while back still works, just run it from within chrome/firefox dev tools console.

document.querySelectorAll('[aria-label="Toggle to follow"]').forEach(i=>i.click())

This script assumes that you are using a web browser to access the social media platform, specifically revealing the list of people you wanna unfollow. You can execute this script by opening the developer console in your browser while on the social media website, and then pasting and running the code.

arrio3107 · 2023-06-20T14:32:36Z

**Hello, this script is completely functional; also added auto scroll after every unfollow. the code isn't perfect, but it gets the job done. ❤️
1 - Goto https://www.facebook.com/YourUserName/following
2 - Scroll down a bit and you'll be able to see all your followings.
3 - press CMND + OPTION + C to open console(for macbook), paste the code. and see magic.

arrio3107 · 2023-06-20T16:17:42Z

@mdnayemhossain Which browser you are using?. Check that you are on the right page, as I mentioned earlier, you should be doing this on your following page where all your followings are showing.

mdnayemhossain · 2023-06-20T17:07:51Z

@arrio3107 I'm using the google chrome browser and yeah I was on the following page that you've mentioned but it showed me the above-mentioned error, unfortunately. Thanks in advance...

good job can u make a working method to unfollow all people on following list ?

jcarroll · 2023-08-19T23:10:07Z

can u make a working method to unfollow all people on following list ?

Are you asking about "unfollowing" a "friend"? Or, are you asking about "unfriending" a "friend"?

For the latter, I used L.O.C. browser extension with good results, which includes a "Friends Remover: find and remove friends with ease."

It gave me a list of all my friends, and I was able to check one box to mark 100 at a time and then click once to remove all 100. I had 400-600 friends, so it only took about 15 clicks to "unfriend" all of them. Note it did take a few minutes to process each batch of 100, so total time was several minutes, but effort was very low.

For the former (un_following_ other people), no, that I'm not familiar with.

farukborann · 2023-09-18T23:15:22Z

@COFFEEHOLIC47 @pgbnguyen @kevindashgit I wrote a new script that unlike pages/users (unfollow will take another script, hopefully someone else does it). To use it:

Open Facebook > Open your profile (https://www.facebook.com/{username})

On the right-hand side, click the "..." button > Activity Log

Go to Connections > Pages, page likes and interests

Scroll down as far down as you can (this ensures the script unlikes everything)

The benefit of using the Activity Log is you can unlike deleted/inactive pages, which you can't do in https://www.facebook.com/{username}/following

Then run this script (I can make it much more performant later):
(async () => {
    var logs = document.querySelectorAll(selectors().log);
    for (let i = 0; i < logs.length; i++) {
        try {
            const logElement = logs[i];
            logElement.querySelector(selectors().moreActions).click();
            await wait(1500);
            document
                .querySelector(selectors().unlikeBtn)
                .firstChild.firstChild.click();
            await wait(500);
            i--;
        }
        catch (error) {
            console.log(error);
        }
    }
})();
function selectors() {
    return {
        log: `[class="om3e55n1 jl2a5g8c alzwoclg"]`,
        moreActions: `[aria-label="Action options"]`,
        unlikeBtn: `[role="menu"] [class="alzwoclg cqf1kptm cgu29s5g om3e55n1"]`,
    };
}
function wait(milliseconds) {
    return new Promise((resolve) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
            resolve(null);
        }, milliseconds);
    });
}
//# sourceMappingURL=index.js.map
Happy Coding!

I just updated the selectors :

function selectors() {
    return {
        log: '[class="xdj266r x2bj2ny x1lq5wgf xgqcy7u x30kzoy x9jhf4c x1yztbdb xwib8y2"]',
        moreActions: '[aria-label="Action options"]',
        unlikeBtn: '[role="menu"] [class*="x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x6umtig"]',
    };
}

Its working for me, thanks.

Hi fettou,

Firstly, Thank you for your work.
It works for jcarroll

As you read below, # kept rolling to '19453' after I entered the code you provided on July 14, which also indicated 'Promise {; undefined}.

Turns out that the long list of "Following" I am following is still there.
