It seems like Facebook is up to its old tricks again. You might want to put a pause on your creeping sessions because there’s a glitch causing you to unknowingly friend people you’ve been stalking… I mean, casually checking out on Facebook. Talk about an unexpected turn of events!
Imagine the shock on your face when you receive a notification saying, “Congratulations! John Doe has accepted your friend request.” Wait, John Doe who? Oh, right, the person you were just casually spying on. Awkward! Who knew a simple stalking session could lead to a virtual friendship?
But don’t worry, Facebook has heard your desperate cries for help and issued an apology. It turns out this glitch was triggered by an app update. So, while Mark Zuckerberg and his team work on fixing this hilarious mishap, they kindly suggest you take matters into your own hands.
Here’s what you can do to save yourself from potential embarrassment. First, resist the urge to continue your creeping escapades. Take a break, my friend, for the sake of your social life. Then, follow these steps:
Head over to facebook.com/friends. No, not to make new friends, but to fix your accidental friend-making frenzy.
Click on ‘Friend Requests’ in the left-hand tab. It’s like entering the secret chamber of all your friend requests.
Next, click on ‘View send requests.’ Brace yourself, because you’re about to see a list of people you accidentally requested to be friends with. It’s like a virtual “Oops! My bad!” moment.
Now, you can cancel those friend requests. Phew! Crisis averted. Just click that cancel button like there’s no tomorrow, and no one will ever know about your secret admiration for their profile.
And here’s the best part: when you delete a friend request, the person on the receiving end won’t even know you were creeping on their profile. Your secret remains safe… well, until they stumble upon this conversation. Oops!
If you need a good laugh, you can also check out a video of someone experiencing this glitch firsthand. It’s like watching a virtual comedy show. You might even spot a few familiar faces among the unsuspecting victims of this hilarious bug.
So facebook now automatically sends friend request when you see someone’s profile…. We did the test with random people and if you check your friend request sent they appear there… #Facebook pic.twitter.com/vN7r8T1uw8

So, my friend, proceed with caution on Facebook until this glitch is sorted out. And remember, stalking… I mean, browsing people’s profiles can have unintended consequences. Stay safe out there in the virtual world, and may your friend requests be intentional and embarrassment-free!
