Find Friends tab missing on Facebook?

Are you unable to see the "Find Friends" tab on your Facebook?
Relax.Its not a thing to be worried about.
The Find Friends tab is a shortcut to the Find Friends page which is always there on your profile.
Facebook provides that tab at the top right of your pages just to help you get a quick access to that page.
It is there to help you connect to more and more friends on Facebook. Generally, you will see friends of friends or the people from your school, work place, neighborhood, etc. appearing in this section.
You will be able to see this tab on your Facebook initially when you are new. But, it will disappear when you have connected to enough friends.

When does this tab disappear?
I have noticed that this tab automatically disappears when you have connected to 200 friends on facebook. Maybe that is when facebook thinks you have good number of friends or have used facebook enough to know how to add more people. Therefore, the tab is not shown anymore.

If your friend has that tab present on his facebook, then she must be having less number of friends. Eventually, when she adds more than 200 people, her facebook won't show the tab anymore.
So you need not worry if the tab is not present any more. You can get access to your Find Friends page anytime you want.


Here, take a look at how to do that:

Click on the friend requests tab at the top left of you page which shows you incoming friend requests.




In the box that shows up, you will find the "Find Friends" link at the top right as you can see in the above pic.
Clicking on that link will take you to the Find Friends page where you can find more friends.


How to get back the Find Friends tab?

There is a way of getting the tab back. But believe me, you don't want to do that.
For someone curious as you, read on to know how to get back the Find Friends tab.
It is simple. As you know now that the tab disappears when you have more than 200 friends, the tab appears back automatically when you have less than 200 friends.
I tried this myself. I unfriended some people and brought the number down to 199.
After refreshing the page, the Find Friends tab was back! I think this will work for you too. But as i told you, you don't really want to do this to get the tab back. If its gone, nothing is wrong with your facebook. So just chill and have fun on Facebook.
