Facebook does not send any alerts when someone unfriends you on Facebook for privacy reasons. However, your friends list on Facebook contains a complete list of all of your current friends; when someone unfriends you, they will be removed from this list. Your friends list also displays the number of total friends that you have. If this number goes down, you can check back on your friends list to see who unfriended you. If you have many friends and cannot remember all of them, it may be easier to save a copy of your current friends list for comparison in the future to see who unfriended you.
Open your Internet Explorer browser, navigate to Facebook.com and log into your Facebook account and navigate to your profile page.
Locate the "Friends" icon below your top cover photo on your Facebook timeline. Note the number of friends you have, which is displayed on the "Friends" icon. Write down the number on a piece of paper.
Click on your "Friends" icon to view your friends list. Scroll to the bottom of the list to view all of your friends.
Save your Friends page by clicking "Page" in your browser's program menu at the top of the window and selecting the "Save As" option from the drop-down menu. Choose a location on your computer where you would like to save your current friends list page and click the "Save" button to save a current copy of your friends list for reference.
Make a note of your number of friends whenever you check your Facebook. If the number goes down, open your downloaded list of friends and compare the lists to see who unfriended you.
