Group invites (possible bug)
I have just encountered a possible bug with Restricted groups. (To be more accurate, this is the group type: Restricted - Users must request to join the group or receive an invite)
I tried join one, and of course my request is now awaiting approval.

If I open my friend list, there is a list on the left side ( https://ibb.co/PtGBZtN ), showing Groups->Pending invites. And there is nothing in the list (no pending group invites to show). I think, the group I have just tried to join should be listed there. Furthermore, all the other groups in which my join request haven't been accepted yet should be in the list.

not a bug.
this shows invites sent to you, which you have the option to accept or decline.

you requesting an invite does not belong there as you do not have an invite, you want one.

That is interesting, because I have created a Restricted group, and the "invites sent to me" have never been shown!

the requests for invites to a group are shown on the group page. not your account notifications.

Yes I know, thank you. And the original question still hasn't been answered to yet..
You can try it, you own a group (but you will have to change the type to Restricted). Just try joining it or even I can help (by joining). But I can assure you that you won't see my join request. (as presented on my screenshot) :P

Oh ok, I solved it. It only works if you send someone an invite to your group. And the receiver of the invite will see the notification, as you mentioned. Thank you, it was really ambiguous.

And the following situation is still a problem:

Imagine that you want to join a few not-open groups. You send your join requests. A few days later you are sure to forget about some of the groups you tried to join earlier. You can't even check the status of your join requests... maybe they were declined, or accepted... and it's even worse that you won't be able to find the groups themselves (that was my situation actually.)

because that is the wrong place to view requests for join....
you will find those on the group page...

seems you have a really hard time understanding that requests for join and invites are not the same.

@wuddih: I said I had already solved it myself, thank you.
