The latest update released for the Android ecosystem by Facebook, one of the most popular social media platforms in the world, caused a very serious problem in the application. A bug in the update caused Facebook users to automatically send friend requests to all people they entered on their profiles. A statement on the matter came from Facebook.
The mistake on Facebook has led users to revolt on the issue on every social media platform. In fact, they were not wrong, because users who entered someone’s profile were sending friend requests to that person without even realizing it. Fortunately, Facebook management understood the incident in a short time and did the necessary work.
Here’s the bug on Facebook sending friend requests like this:
In the video above, you can see the problem with Facebook’s Android application. You do not need to do anything after the update. You just have to enter someone’s profile. The app automatically sends friend request. The only thing that the user who realizes the situation can do is log out of the Facebook application after withdrawing the request. In case of returning to the profile, the friend request is also sent again.
A Facebook spokesperson said: “We fixed a bug with the latest app update that caused some Facebook friend requests to be sent by mistake. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.
