Did you notice your deactivated friends on your Facebook?

When my friend’s deactivated their Facebook, they didn’t show up on my friends list. Now, I noticed Facebook has an update change where you can still see your friends on your Facebook even if they deactivated their account. Is this true? Are you now able to delete your friends who deactivated their Facebook account?

Also, if your friends don’t show up on your Facebook even when they deactivated their Facebook, does that mean the deleted you or blocked you?

yes, I noticed just today that my deactivated friends showed up in my friend list, but u can only see their name, no profile or anything

and there is the option to unfriend them

this is a great change that Facebook made, because a lot of Facebook friends are stalkers... they activate their FB to spy on their friends and then quickly DEACTIVATES their profile and disappears ... now, if u want to delete someone from your friends list--even if they deactivated their profile--it is POSSIBLE... thank you facebook!!! :-)

I continued to have deactivated friends show-up in my friends list. Just clicking on "Friends" on my page would not reveal everyone. I had to click "find friends" at the top right of the page, then click the "manage friends list" button near the top. Here is a link: https://www.facebook.com/friends/edit/ The deactivated friends show with their name only; after you click on a name, you are given the option to unfriend them. Finally I can get rid of them.
