Does someone know if I unfollow them on facebook?

[1234]

Basically I was on facebook and someone appeared in my newsfeed randomly so I clicked on their profile and noticed I wasn't friends with them but I then noticed it said following so I clicked 'unfollow' will this person get a notification saying I unfollowed them or an email or anything? Or will they only know if they view who is following them? I don't even remember following this person in the first place. Thanks

They will not get an information e-mail or notification when you unfollow them.

You can safely unfollow them. There are no notifications about that unless they use Social Fixer or some such.

The reason you were suddenly "following" that person without remembering you had followed them in the first place, is most likely that you used to be friends, and the other person removed you as a friend.

It could also be that you have requested to be their friend and they hid, deleted or ignored your request. That would make you a follower too.

So there is probably no chance they would be offended if you stopped following them. Chances are they don't know you're following them and might not have intended for you to be a follower.

No, they will not know you unfollowed them. They do not receive any notifications.
