What finally happened to the wrong friend requests sent by Facebook?   

The problem is officially a thing of the past

 Last week Facebook users were faced with an unprecedented problem. Their accounts were sending friend requests on their own due to an unexpected technical issue that caused the friend request button to be automatically clicked upon viewing a profile. The issue, which initially confused many users, was fixed relatively quickly by Facebook, which apologized and explained what happened.

In summary, Meta has confirmed that the strange friend request bug has been ironed out , with no other significant impact on their systems. It is worth noting that Facebook not only fixed the problem, but also automatically canceled all friend requests made by the bug that the recipients did not have time to accept.

However, Facebook has sent everyone affected a relevant notification urging them to check their activity logs to detect if they made any requests they didn’t want. The good news is that users can now browse the social media platform with peace of mind, confident that they won’t be accidentally sending friend requests left and right!

Sure the random friend requests have led to…surprises and possibly very awkward situations. Several users on Facebook itself, as well as other social media, reported experiencing the problem, with some even mistaking the automatic friend requests for a problem with their smartphones. So despite the quick resolution, the incident serves as a reminder for users to be careful with their activity on social media platforms.
