Meta, formerly known as Facebook, has successfully addressed a bug that triggered automatic friend requests when users accessed any profile. The company expressed regret for the technical mishap, assuring users that the issue has been resolved. The glitch, caused by a recent app update, resulted in unintended friend requests being sent, prompting both amusement and confusion among users. Some users even discovered that Facebook sent friend requests to individuals they were attempting to block.
