A big mistake has been detected on Facebook, the social media platform of the years. After the last update of the application to Android devices, users encountered a serious problem. Facebook accounts of users who installed the latest update on their devices sent friend requests to all profiles they entered. Here are the details about the error that the Facebook application gives on the Android platform…
Friend request may have been sent to everyone you entered on your profile!
Facebook recently released its latest update for Android devices. In the last update, there were no new features other than bug fixes. However, users who installed the latest update on their devices encountered a very strange situation. Users’ Facebook accounts were sending out-of-control friend requests to other people’s profiles.
An error that occurred in the version of the Facebook application developed for Android was sending friend requests to all Facebook profiles that users viewed. Users who noticed the situation rebelled on other social media platforms and Facebook. They weren’t exactly wrong. Among them, perhaps, were stalkers who stalked their ex-girlfriends, and they unwittingly exposed themselves.
The error was actually quite frustrating. When you view someone’s profile, Facebook sends friend request to that user against your request. The only way to avoid this was to withdraw the request and log out of your Facebook account. Otherwise, the app would still send friend requests. With the active use of Facebook groups, when you want to look at the post of a user sharing a post, the friend request was still going.
The rebellion movement started on the subject was soon noticed by Meta. Meta started a study with the emergency code and released a new update. Thanks to this update, the bug in Facebook has been fixed and profiles have returned to normal. Meta team and Facebook platform spokesperson made a written statement on the subject.
In the statement made, it was stated that the source of the error that caused the problem was found and the problem was fixed. He also apologized for the inconvenience caused to Meta users. The problem occurred only in Android versions of the app. It was resolved in a short time after increasing reactions. Currently, the application does not repeat such a mistake on both Android and iOS sides.
Tech writers and Facebook employees recommend checking the friendships in your account. You may have unintentionally become Facebook friends with someone you don’t know.
