Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Ever get the feeling that someone is ignoring you?
Maybe you met them at a party, talked for a long time about your shared love for Game of Thrones and thought you’d hit it off.
So you go home and before you go to bed you send them a request on FB. It never gets accepted.
You go through all the usual excuses; perhaps they didn’t see it, perhaps they’re not a prolific user of Facebook or maybe they accidentally declined the invite and were too anxious to re-add you.
But there may be no need to fret over phantom Facebook adds anymore. Yes, there’s a way to see the friend requests you’ve sent that have been ignored.
If you go to the Friend Request tab on your Facebook account and click "see all", it brings up a list of outstanding friend requests on your end and the list of suggested friends.
At the top, under the heading "Friend Requests" will be a hyperlink labelled "View sent requests".
Here you can see the requests that you’ve sent out which haven’t been responded to. Awkward.
