Hi all

About a week or so ago I started to get FB friends suggestions and very few are where mutual friends exist. Some are possibly logical such as wildlife photographers

However many are just random! AFAIK I did not make any changes in FB or Instagram that could have triggered this change :thinking:

Stopped using both a long long time ago.
They seemed like a good idea at the time.

I am not an active user of either.....if anything it is IG I use in regard to my exhibition display(s) and only during exhibition dates.
 
Ig and Facebook are linked, particularly if you use the same email address to login.

.... It's their automatic system which is creating these suggestions based on both your profile and other pages you view. They are constantly trying to encourage you to expand your circle of contacts and spread advertising with increased traffic. It's nothing sinister so just do what you want to do and ignore their suggestions. Use Facebook and/or Instagram to suit your purposes and not be led by others.

It will become more targeted and less random as their AI learns your habits.
