Remove/Disable 'Suggested Friends'

Hello,

I would like to see the 'Suggested Friends' removed from the user interface on Xbox One. It just seems strange that you would add someone to your friends list, without knowing who they are, or without having previously communicated with them. The only time
I add people to my friend's list, is when I've played a game where we've gotten into a cool discussion, or where perhaps a person has been fun to play a particular co-op game with. The only other way I would add someone to my friend's list is if I know them
in day to day real life.

Another part of this is, that I don't really want to be listed as a 'suggested friend' on other people's feeds, because I have no interest in people that I don't know, sending me invites. I currently have a whole bunch of people who 'follow' me, but in many
cases, I don't know who they are, and we don't communicate at all, so it all seems rather pointless.

I feel like in this day and age, that social media seems to be at the heart of everything that the major console manufacturers are doing these days, and it all seems so forced. In my opinion, adding a friend to your friends list should be a more organic
experience, rather than having Xbox Live do everything for you.

You also have to look at the fact that not all of your customers are children and teenagers. I'm a fairly old gamer, and Xbox Live may be trying to suggest friends to me, who are half my age or less, which I have no interest in whatsoever. Being that this
is the case, it would be a great addition to the settings of the user interface, if you could at least disable the 'Suggested Friends' ability.

Thanks

:)

 

Fed up with friend suggestions

Please, give us the option to disable this useless feature. I am totally fed up removing suggested friends from both my XBOX and the APP.

It's totally worthless and insane!

+1 - I liked that feature previously or at least give us the opportunity to enable/disable notifications

 

Hey BattleAxe Elite! To make sure this gets to the right team you will want to submit the idea
here. Thanks!
