Today I was trying to suggest a friend on Facebook to another one of my friends. I opened the friends’ profile and the link to Suggest friends wasn’t there. It’s used to be located under the main profile photo. It has moved though. To find it, follow these steps.
These steps can be performed on the desktop version of the site.
- Login to Facebook.
- Go to the profile of the person you would like to suggest friends to.
- Hover over the “Friends” button on the person’s page.
- Choose “Suggest Friends…“.
- Search for a person, then use the “Suggest friend” button next to their name.
FAQ
How can I do this from the iPhone or Android app?
There does not seem to be a way to do this from the Facebook app for iPhone or Android. Your best option would be to view the desktop version of Facebook from your browser, then follow the above steps.

Big fail that this functionality isn’t available on the apps. Considering the amount of other junk and bloat that fb. are now encumbering it with it is poor that this fairly basic function is not there.

Was much better the other way!!

I just tried this and after I clicked the Suggest Friends option, the screen just went blank. Multiple attempts both ways (suggesting each to the other) just did nothing in both IE and Firefox.

I have this same problem. When my friends go to my fb page there is no suggest friends option in the drop down. My account is not new. I’ve changed my settings every way possible and nothing works.

Just go on your friend’s profile and chose more option. Then another box will pop up which will have suggest friends as an option.

Garrett, I’m having a similar issue. My younger sibling just made a facebook, and I was going to suggest friends for them, but the button isn’t available. I can suggest friends for some of my other friends, so it’s probably because it’s a new account.
Debbie says
There is no suggest friends in the app on iPhone or on the webpage using the browser. I can’t find it anywhere. Frustrating…
Garrett says
Ok, I just made a new facebook account and it will not show suggested friends for me at all. Ive looked everywhere its really not there. My friends cannot suggest a friend for me. Would this be because its a new account? Is there a certian time you have to wait before it becomes active? Or is my account broken and do I need to start over with a new account.
