Oh fgs I thought someone would be along to tell me I was wrong. Is it only today? I miraculously avoided Facebook for lots of today… thankfully

It was only for a small period of today but is very much true. Unfortunately during that small window I checked out the Facebook page of teenage sons very new not really official girlfriend 🙈 we are now friends because she accepted. DS will hit the roof when he finds out.

Oh no😂😂😂

So FB sent friend requests to profiles visited just today or over the last few weeks/months ?

SycophantsUnite · 12/05/2023 21:45

Unfortunately true yes 😫

Between 12 and 1 o'clock ish as I was on lunch at work. Its ok I would laugh at me as well.

It happened to me but it's a total random. I have no memory of looking at his page and can't even see how I would have ended up there by accident (not a friend of a friend etc) Very odd!

Katyrosebug · 12/05/2023 21:53

This is hilarious, so earlier I got a friend request from my cousins' partner (we're not very close, they've been together 10 years and we've never met), I thought it was because I'd like a video she'd shared and he was tagged in, I accepted it 🙈 he was probably having a nose hahaha

SonnySideDown · 12/05/2023 21:53

Oh god I wondered why someone had accepted my request when I didn't remember adding them! Luckily was an old work colleague, I was nosing about him now living in Thailand with a much younger girlfriend

kessiebird · 12/05/2023 21:54

I deleted Facebook and started an account with family only four years ago. Due to drama in an old school friendship group. This afternoon one of that group accepted a friend request. And I still see her for coffee as she's nice in person.

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 12/05/2023 21:54

I'll definitely see it on my activity if it's done it to me, yes? It's not cancelled them and removed them from the log?

Sunnycornwallanddevon · 12/05/2023 21:54

Can I ask where the activity log is please?

Wow I thought this must have been a hoax…!!! Pretty poor from Facebook 😱

I am the worst for looking up people on Facebook and have done so several times in the last 48hrs. Just heard there was a glitch where Facebook was firing friend requests to anyone’s profile who you’ve visited! Can anyone confirm if this has happened to them before I panic?! 😂

Omg! I thought I was going mad! It's happened to me today and I thought I'd accidentally pressed friend request but couldn't work out how I'd done it 3 times in one day when I've never done it before. I also got a friend request from a v ex colleague who I wouldn't have expected to make a friend request.

motherofkevinnotperry · 12/05/2023 21:59

How do we unsend the friend requests? I have 2 🫣

Hilarious @Hellocatshome 😂 Hope DS forgives you!

Years ago (I'm off fb now) I fell asleep while looking at FB, my phone fell and hit my face and I somehow sent numerous friend requests to people I don't know. Most accepted, but one messaged me to say "how do you know me?"
I was mortified when I woke up!

hennybeans · 12/05/2023 22:01

I got a friend request from a random person today but not a spam account( it happens very seldomly). I wonder if this was why?

greyhairnomore · 12/05/2023 22:01

This happened to me a few weeks ago. It was ok , a cousin of SD but still embarrassing 😳

Laurdo · 12/05/2023 22:02

Yes happened to me today. I also got friend requests from about 10 people because I was tagged for supporting a charity event that's happening tomorrow.

Itsallovernow23 · 12/05/2023 22:06

Yes I have had loads of requests today and also requested lots of people one was an ex from 10 years ago arghhhh
