Who ARE these people in my friends list?

Tickedoff

Until two minutes ago, I have always signed into Candy Crush via Facebook. Yesterday, and again today, close to 50 people showed up in my friend list. And I can't get rid of them. Every one of them has a cartoon face, I don't think any of them are real names. Only two of MY friends were in the list. And literally as I was looking at their names, they disappeared too. Years ago Candy Crush updated and all my friends disappeared - even tech support could not get them back. But these COMPLETELY UNKNOWN 'friends'? WTH

Same here. My Facebook friends disappeared a couple of days ago, and I can’t figure out how to send friend requests from candy crush, so I can see them again. I have 2 friends that show up in a long list of people/players i don’t know, and I think that’s because at some point they sent me a friendship request somehow thru the game. I am still in a fabulous five team with friends, but I can’t send requests to them for lives. When I try to go through Facebook to play the game, it tells me I have no internet connection, even though I am connected to the internet. Sorry that I can’t help. Just letting you know you aren’t alone.

@Tickedoff, @dbles I believe this happened because the feature called ''candy connections'' was added to the game.

@Tickedoff If you see your friends cartoon face logout twice and after that login with Facebook. It happen to me too and this is the way to get the normal back.
