What’s all this about Facebook sending a friend request to anyone whose profile you’ve viewed?!

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?! 😂

Ha! My whole family got a friend request from the same person.

I’m sorry but I haven’t heard of that before.

How are you sure they didn’t unfriend you & then when they were put on the spot by you directly asking why - they said that they don’t know what happened…

It happened to me once and it was a good friend with no reason to remove each other. Maybe she did ! but it sort of didn’t make any sense in the context. Like we’d chatted recently enough on fb, about just normal stuff, and had been friends for about 20 years, uneventfully. It was odd enough and I was surprised enough that I just asked her. Maybe we have the same friend 😂

I noticed this today. I looked at a few profiles and it sent friend requests to all of them, which I then retracted

Argh 😭😂
Here's hoping it was a glitch, as I've snooped several profiles this evening including a knobber at work who's name popped up, he'd better not be getting a friend request! 😭😁

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.

this is brilliant! 😂🙈

No, this did happen and now it's been resolved, 6 weeks ago.

It was a glitch 6 weeks ago, not a rumour or misunderstanding

Why have you resurrected this thread to tell someone it is a misunderstanding or rumours when it actually did happen?

Only just saw this. Hadn't heard anything about it before but, oh my days, am thanking every deity there is that I went on holiday on May 12th so wouldn't have had time to do my usual stalking!
