    Strangers adding me, become friends not followers


    I have just removed about 20 people from my Xbox friends list who I do not know. How these people find me, I do not know, as I don't even play online games!

    I thought when people add me as a friend, they become a follower on my side, until I also add them as a friend? Instead they are adding me and becoming a full friend immediately!

    Also, just to confuse matters more, people I actually know and are friends, are on my friend list AND my followers list!? How does that happen? We are both on each others friends list, so why are they also on my followers list?

    I have seen similar stories like this on Google going back years. Is it a glitch that Microsoft can fix? Utter madness.

    Thank you for your help.

    :)

    Why fo new frend recwests not show up as new message s

    It seems to be by design. A follower is someone that's added you as a friend, but you haven't yet added them back. If you do, they become a friend, but there's no notifications.

    I cant remove myself as a follower

    If you added me as a friend and then removed me as a friend you should no longer be in my follower's list still following me correct

    How do I keep strangers from adding me as a friend?

    Thanks for the response, much appreciated. I guess I will just keep blocking them and ignoring their messages. Hopefully they'll just give up at some point.

    How do I keep strangers from adding me as a friend?

    There is no way to make your GT completely unsearchable or private. If you do not add these users back and you've made your feed/profile/bio private they will not have access to it. You can also block these users who try to friend request you.
