Friction always acts in the opposite direction of the force applied.

Answer 2

It is the opposite direction of the acting force that friction acts.

The friction tends to resist the movement of an object on another, sometimes which is required, and sometimes it becomes a headache.

Without friction, it would be difficult to stop any movement when required or allow any object to move.
