How To Stop Facebook From Suggesting Friends???

Postby Lushh » 16 Oct 2018, 23:29

I am sick of these persistent friend suggestions I've been getting from Facebook. At one time they were sending the profile pics of persons who were friends of my friends. I would go through individually and click 'X' to delete them. The next day I log on it would be the same thing. Then I started deleting them all at once by removing the suggestion 'title' itself.

Just when I thought they had run out of people to suggest, they started sending me images of random naked people, informing me that I may know them. Well no, I don't know them and would rather keep it that way. It's not the nakedness of these individuals that I have a problem with. It's just the idea of someone else making the recommendation that I should befriend them.

As if that weren't enough, now I am receiving a new, deceptive style of introduction to these suggestions. This one says "You have a friend suggestion from (name of my cousin's) post. So really, the suggestion is not from my cousin but from his post. Have you ever heard of such a thing?

I tried everything I could think of to block these kind of notifications. What have I not adjusted in my settings? Is closing my Facebook account the only way to stop this from happening? Does anyone know?

I think we can't stop it since FB is social network and it will always want interaction with others.

I think you're right @mrki444 and there's just no going around this thing. I would close the account if so many of my contacts weren't still on FB. It would be cool if they would join me on the other social media platform where I don't have these harassment issues. Lol.

This is social media where anything and everything happens. Just learn to ignore what you don't need because you cannot erase it unless you close your account.

It's a Facebook thing. Lol. The other platforms don't do me like this but yeah, closing the account is probably the only option.
