How do I cancel a friend request I sent?
How do I cancel a friend request I sent?
Updated this week

If you send a lot of friend requests, you may run into a problem where you have too many pending requests, and can't send any more!

If this happens you will need to cancel some of the requests yourself. Here's how!:

First, hover over 'Social' in the left menu, then click 'Friends':

On the Friends page, you'll find the Friend Requests menu on the right side of the screen, where you can manage any incoming or outgoing requests:

Click on 'Outgoing' to see your sent requests.

Click the 'X' to cancel the request!

Please note that currently this can only be done on the website, not on the app. Please sign in to Chess.com on your browser.
