What to do when added as friend by a stranger?

Post by Bo-Catan »

Hi,

I've been added as friend by a stranger. How can I undo this? It seems a bit creepy to me...

Thanks a lot!

you can red thumb them, that limits what they can see about you

However, red thumb also means you can't play a game with them, which might or might not be something you want.

What you can do is red thumb them. That means you are automatically removed from their friends list. After that you can remove your red thumb.

So now you aren't on their list but you can still play with them.

Another way to go about that is maybe just sending them a message as to why they've done that. Maybe they just enjoyed a game with you and wanted an easy way to play you again.

Being on their friend-list causes your public wall posts and updates to appear on their personal feed.

On your side it won't change anything, except for the initial notification that you have been added.

Ignore it, friend them too or red thumb them to remove yourself from their list.

Thanks a lot to you all! I'm going to red thumb them and remove it afterwards.
