FB friend suggestions

Someone riddle me this:

I get an email from my landlord. Then FB proceeds to suggest her as a friend an hour later. How?

  • Gmail to Gmail email
  • iPhone
  • Not saved as phone contact
  • Landlord doesn't have my current phone number
  • All comms thus far was face to face or via gmail
  • No mutual friends
  • No whatsapp contact/comms

I don't get how FB figured that out, let alone that timing. :confused:

You looking at you being the 'leak' for them getting your information
what if its the other way she has her facebook on phone and allowed it access to her contacts.
Your gmail is under her contacts and she granted FB access ?

Oh yes, makes sense, explains my issue too mostly I guess. I guess I need to improve my segmentation/separation.
 
I think FB does more digging than they let on. I have had them suggest friends who I have only ever whatsapped. I don't have FB on my phone. My phone number not linked to my FB.

FB owns Whatsapp...
 
Is your Facebook set to share phone contacts?
Has access I think, but she isn't a contact.

Wouldn't explain the timing. It's gotta be that she searched for me on FB.

Maybe your landlord fancies you.
Give the woman what she wants, and save on rental.

Win.
haha she does indeed like me but not in that sense.

That's why I mentioned that in OP
