Facebook is the world’s most popular social media website with over 2 billion users from different continents. The main idea behind Facebook is to connect with friends and family. That’s the reason from time to time they tend to show you, people, you may know so you can add them up or they can add you up.

However, that has changed over the years as people now add people they don’t even know up. So expect to see friend requests from people you don’t know or people that you don’t want to be friends with. However, you can put an end to this with a few steps. Follow the procedure below to achieve this.
