Updated for May 2026

A few things have shifted since this post first went up. Meta dropped the legacy “Page” verification track in 2024 and folded it into Meta Verified ($14.99–$19.99/mo depending on tier and country) — the blue check is now a subscription, not a one-time review. Friend-request flows still work as described, though Meta moved the bulk-cancel UI deeper into mobile settings; the desktop m.facebook.com/friends/center/requests/outgoing route still works (2026-04 spot check).

Worth knowing in 2026: ~3.07B Facebook MAU (Meta Q4 2025 earnings), but the share of time-on-platform relative to Reels and WhatsApp has continued sliding. If this post is part of an outreach strategy, weight WhatsApp and Threads (yes — Threads survived the 2024 pivot speculation and crossed 200M MAU) accordingly.
