Check your friend list: If the person no longer appears, they might have unfriended you. Visit their profile: If you can't find it through search or it says 'Add Friend' instead of 'Friends,' you're no longer friends. Look at mutual friends' activity: If they are tagged or commented on but you can't click their profile, they might have changed privacy settings or unfriended you. Messenger clues: A missing profile photo or 'FB User' in Messenger could indicate being unfriended or their account being deactivated.**
