I keep getting friends suggestions from Facebook that sre people from fab. The weird thing is, they're not people I have anything to do with.
It's not great really as I can now know more about them than they would probably like.
WTF?  |

As said above ....if you have someone on your contacts or hv whatsapped them it will link you...remember they will appear in your suggestions so the chance is your also appearing as a suggested friend for them  |

"I would take the Facebook app off your phone and use the Facebook website instead. It's a little less creepy. "
 I don't know why anyone still uses the app. |

I get suggestions of guys I've chatted to on here but never exchanged numbers with. It's very odd. I've never had the OP suggested though!
Facebook do own What's app and I wonder if that has something to do with it. I was totally spooked but I don't think there's anything sinister in it. You have to wonder how they get their info  |

This sort of thing has been happening to me too. I use Facebook mainly for family and have high privacy settings. I am somewhat worried by all this 'helpful' linkage between worlds I would rather keep separate. |

"It's people who I have had NO contact with. No whatsapp, no chat, no nothing. It's just odd.
"
How do you know they are off fab?
Could there be another link? |

I know they are on fab because I recognise their faces. (That's one of the many reasons I keep my pics private).
There's no other link. They're not friends of friends. Just suggestions. |

"Facebook will often recommend friends of friends, so it's more likely someone who you have chatted to from fab, has got those people stored in their phone from WhatsApp. "
That would be my guess- I hate the linking too.  |

Facebook does share info/contact details with WhatsApp unless you tell it not to. There was a big thing about it in the news a few weeks back. |
