Abstract
A method is for friend recommendation which includes obtaining a first picture sent by a user, and determining one or more users associated with the first picture based on attribute information of the first picture. The method also includes, when it is determined that a total number of the users associated with the first picture is two or more, detecting whether a first user and a second user from the one or more users associated with the first picture are friends. Further, the method includes, when it is detected that the first user and the second user are not friends, sending friend recommendation information to one of the first user and the second user, wherein the friend recommendation information contains information of the other of the first user and the second. It is more likely that the friend recommendation information is of real interest of the users receiving the information.
