Facebook Moves Friend Requests Link to the Home Page's Left Sidebar

Facebook has moved the active link for friend requests from the Requests panel in the bottom of the home page’s right sidebar to the “Friends” navigation link in the top of the left sidebar. Similar to application requests, pending friend requests will still appear as text in the Requests panel, but users must click the navigation link which denotes pending requests with a counter in order to visit the Friends page and respond to friend requests.

This change may signal that Facebook is preparing to remove the Requests panel, as the only active links still present there are Page, family, and old group requests.
