Some users looked at the funny side of the issue, as it effectively gave away those who were “Facebook-stalking” people they were not friends with.
Others were not as amused, describing the glitch as “absolutely terrifying”, “embarrassing”, and even “the Devil’s work”.on Friday, 12 May 2023.
A spokesperson for the tech giant said a recent app update caused the bug and that it had been patched. “We’ve stopped this from happening, and we apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused,” the spokesperson said. Subsequent to Meta’s response, Facebook removed the unsolicited pending friend requests and rolled back the friend requests that were accepted as a result of the bug.
