Do not visit anyone profile on Facebook who your not friends with as there is a bug that’s atuomaticly sending them friends request
Copy and paste from the article
You may want to avoid your ex’s Facebook profile for a bit. A new bug in the Facebook app automatically sends friend requests when you visit a stranger’s profile. Review Geek has successfully reproduced this bug, but only on the Facebook mobile app.
This bug occurs so quickly that you’ll hardly notice it. Upon visiting a stranger’s profile, the “Add Friend” button automatically changes itself to “Pending.” There isn’t a warning, a popup, or anything else that indicates you’ve sent a friend request. The only way to avoid the bug is to avoid strangers’ Facebook profiles. |

"I’ve see lots of posts on my Facebook from friends saying that this has happened to them "
Yes seems to be a bug so just wait for friends request and now you know who’s looking at your profile  |

I suspect a lot of people only use it took other people up, and would likely delete it if they could... so this could lead to real anger!
I hate the damn thing and would delete it altogether if I wasn't given pages I need to see every now and again. It really is hard to get rid of completely, I've tried. pt |

Don’t think the wild fire as spread just yet but I suspected outrage soon when exs are at each other teeth for stocking one another |

If only there was a competitor in the wings who could step in on this. Facebook came off the back of MySpace, it shouldn't be impossible for someone to improve on FB. Somehow it was allowed to by Instagram I noticed.pt |

"'buy' Instagram I mean
They own watts app also "
-bollocks isn't it. It's makes it so hard for others to get near.
Microsoft used to asset strip back in the day. Buy out potential competitors and just sit on their software or technology. pt |

I have read that it’s only happening with anyone using an android phone. Admittedly this is only one person I know on Facebook who has said this, so I’m not sure of the accuracy of their claims.
Luckily I’ve not had it for awhile and only really use it for a couple of groups I’m a member of. |

Not shour was a android rooting forum that I am on that it got posted to so not shour what is offered just thought I would throw warnings out there
Just like I did the other day
Do not buy charges from cheap stores or eBay or anything like that
Only buy cables from manufacturers or legitimate places like Tesco Argos currys or what not
Omg cable has just hit the market
Basically a charging cable that has the capacity to hack and steal data from anything it’s plugged in to
And then remotes kills it’s self after it’s gotten everything
LTT reported it 3 days ago

For those using the Facebook app, you can see if your device has done you dirty:
1. Launch the Facebook app then tap Menu (three lines). It's on the bottom right of the iPhone app and the upper right of the Android app.
2. Tap Friends.
3. Tap See All.
4. In the upper-left corner, tap More (three dots).
5. Tap View Sent Requests.
6. Select Cancel to terminate the request if required, and pour yourself a glass of wine (other celebratory beverages are available).

I was kidding. 
All the posts I've seen on Facey are people going on about how mysterious friends requests have been allegedly sent after they've been stalking exes, new partners of exes, people they work with, random people that afe friends of friends, the local hottie that drinks in their regular pub etc.
If there is a problem then the only way to avoid it is to not go browsing random profiles for whatever reason, surely?

I seriously wouldn't call it stalking. People are nosey. Its natural, am sure most people do it at one time or another. My ex hubby is the father of my children, so yea guilty of having a peek occasionally |

Oops, I had a look at someone I was seeing for a couple of months when I was a teenager.
I hope he didn't get a friend request from me |

I've been stalked in real life and it's much worse than someone having a nose at your Facebook profile.
I love a good online stalk though. I'm Inspector Clueso.

I have it on my android app: E, Find Friends, Friend Request - See All, ..., View Sent Requests. (Nothing for years from me fortunately). pt"
I found it. You have to tap on requests, then the dots are top right.
I had two requests, one from 12 years ago. |
