New Delhi: Unknowingly, if anyone accepted the friend request that you did not send or if you happen to get friend requests from strangers, you need not worry about your Facebook account getting hacked. This is a Facebook technical glitch that the Meta-owned company has confirmed.
Meta has fixed the Facebook bug that sent automatic friend requests, and it apologised for the inconvenience. Several users reported the problem on social media platforms. The flaw was caused by a recent upgrade to the Facebook program, which automatically sent friend requests when a user visited a profile.
This follows after Facebook announced the increase of ads on its Reels monetisation program, which would compensate creators on Facebook based on the performance of their Reels rather than ad profits.
Meanwhile, Meta intends to test a performance-based reward model for Facebook’s ‘in-stream’ advertisements with a small group of creators.
