PSA: Facebook Bug - You Probably Have Sent Few Friends Request without Knowing

If you visited anyone's profile yesterday you probably sent a Friend Request without knowing due to a bug with Facebook that just got fixed.

Better check your Activity Log under Friend Requests/Friends Added to see if you recently added or sent friend requests.

I checked and apparently I had four requests sent.

    This is why my divorced friends ask me to stalk their exes for them.

  • I guess all those people I stalked from fb marketplace are now my friend

    • Yeah…

    Thanks… Found one I apparently requested from 2 days ago.
    Albeit I don't even recall visiting their profile!

    Lol, no wonder yesterday while I was watching youtube I got a notification that my female work acquaintance has accepted my friend request. I was like WTF. Talk about awkward.

    Now I checked my Facebook and "I" have unfriended them yesterday. I might stop going work altogether now…

    When i found out that linkdin told the person someone viewed their profile…

  • I visited a couple of profiles yesterday and the activity log shows no friend requests sent, so this isn't a categorical bug

    • This was posted on Sunday so the word 'yesterday' means Saturday night really.

      • I also checked and I have no new requests either.

  • I had one new "friend" on Monday morning. Looking now, it seems that Facebook has rolled that back on my behalf: "NanoDuke removed xxxx as a friend".
    I don't even remember looking at that persons profile in the first place.
    I think they were a suggested friend with 4 mutuals.

    • yes it did remove 1 'friend' for me cause the person already accepted but the rests of the pending requests will need to be cancelled by yourself…
