Friend keeps being unfriended automatically from Steam.
This issue happened hundreds of times and it seems i'm the only one with this issue.
One of my friends keeps being automatically unfriended from me. Sometimes i log in and find him missing from my friend list, completely at random. I always have to search him in the community tab and add him again. He confirms that he never tried to unfriend me once therefore it's probably a bug on steam that literally doesn't want us two to be friends. This is getting very annoying also because it only happens to this specific friend. Any ideas?

How is someone supposed to prevent another person from unfriending you?

[Unfriend bug?]

There's validity in all of the perspectives in here - perhaps this is just an excuse being used by someone who doesn't want to admit that they removed you

...but what I don't like is that most everyone seems to be saying, about their own perspectives, "Yeah, this is definitely 100% for sure how it is."



You're all not omniscient nor are you intimately familiar with either the system's underlying code - or - the people involved in these posts claiming this is happening.

Take this response for example:

If there was a bug in the system where people are randomly being unfriended, there would be a lot more complaints here in the forums.

It sounds like your friend is messing around.
This is fallacious & no one has called this out yet.

While the "friend" might really be "messing around" or removing the other person - the fact that a [potential] bug is uncommon doesn't mean that it can't exist as a real bug - not all bugs are common. Some are only triggered by very specific sets of circumstances. "Yeah, Kiddie, like the friend deciding to remove the other person!" ...yeah, maybe... I've already acknowledged that possibility multiple times but since I don't know how the underlying code works & I don't know the people involved, I refuse to accept an assertion that it's definitely & FOR SURE... that!

Personally, I find this to be the most constructive post in the topic:

Ignore people on here talking about them unfriending you on purpose iff you have confirmation. I've been on the end of "deleting" people without actually deleting them. They eventually added me back and were sad about it, but of course I had nothing to do with it. It seemed to usually occur when using the older steam android application on a cruddy phone. If I were to use it to browse a friend's profile, there would be a slight chance for it to malfunction and delete that person just by accessing the profile page, regardless of what you did. Unfortunately, I've never bothered looking for a fix since when I changed phones the issue stopped.

I can't say this is the reason for why your case may be happening, but I bring it up to confirm that this issue does, or at least use to exist in some quantity.
...yeah, maybe that entire post is fake - but why bother?
Why make all of that up? It's highly detailed.

Also, it's a well-known fact that the phone version of Steam is... not great / doesn't always function well. Everyone I know who uses the phone version says that something somewhere doesn't load properly, whether it be pictures in a chat or posts on the forums.

Unfortunately, IF this is a real bug, then for all of you who are encountering it, you're likely not going to find a solution as it's apparently uncommon enough as to be considered "made up".
Try to figure out if there's something wrong with your install that is an uncommon setup.

If it happens consistently with ONLY 1 person on your friend list, though... that's a little suspicious as to whether the two of you are being honest...

As you acknowledge at the end given the specifics of the situation (always the same person getting removed) and the lack of certain other specifics:
* Each of those additions of him to the friend list happening during the Steam Maintenance window (where yeah I could see maybe someone not caring that a specific 5 minute window of transactions got rolled back during a time where it's highly unlikely anyone is adding friends).
* Indications of any issues (such as errors messages, long loading times, failure to load the page saying they are now your friend) which would indicate the much more likely location for bugs (failing to add them as a friend in the first place).

The natural assumption is that yeah his friend (or someone with access to his friends account) is removing him. Maybe not intentionally perhaps he is blindly following a guide on how to get rid of spammy notifications in your activity feed without understanding what he is doing, perhaps he is hitting buttons on his phone that remove a friend accidentally (would be difficult I don't even know how to actually remove a friend from the mobile app, not even sure it has that feature) but he is getting removed.

The other thing is if his friend actually wasn't doing this he would take steps to ensure that either it was less likely to happen, or that if it did happen the friend would be readding him promptly (creating a special group and pinning it to the top of his friend list called "People Who Keep Dropping Off My List") and the OP wouldn't be the one having to prompt the readding he'd just come online and have a friend request waiting for him to be re-added after a few days at most.

i have the same problem idk what happened when i looked at the friends list i notice one of my friends where gone there could be a steam bug that removes our friends automatically

There is NO bug that does this automatically. It requires user input.

what do you mean by user input

A person sitting in front of their PC or on mobile clicking/tapping remove friend.

maybe he wants to find new friends and think that we must part our ways (if he is like that then i dont blame him)
Could be.

It's, also, fairly easy to accidentally choose "Remove Friend" instead of "Notifications" or "Change Nickname", from the "Manage" context menu, if you / someone aren't paying attention.

I wouldn't write off the possibility of some sort of an error occurring (though, most likely user-error, rather than system error - but even that is possible (though implausible)) because there's just so many events that could lead up to that.
(It's implausible as a system error because we [other users] would expect it to happen more if it was - such as with a second person on one's friend list.)

If he didn't tell you not to contact him again, then it should be fine to try and check with him, especially if he has a public comment section or something to that effect. Otherwise, it's probably best to leave it be, especially if he said not to contact you anymore as that can have additional ramifications tied to it.

...but especially if this is someone you know irl, or have known for a long time, and no reason was communicated to you for this, it would probably be a good idea to try and confirm if there was a known reason as long as you haven't already been told not to contact him again.

:teddy_talk: Don't Ask.

Don't bother with "If it was this? If it was that? Maybe this? Shoulda? Coulda? Woulda?"
Leave them be. Let it go. Move on with your life. Done.

If they're not in your circle of RL friends, then they're expendable Steam connections, as you are to them.

Personally and more recently I wished I had never accepted this one "friend" invite.
A Big mistake. This last guy is a forum regular so I thought he was okay and then, I found he is a freaking nutjob with multiple alts.

Maybe the user was compromised? Scammers sometimes take control of accounts and then nuke the friends list for certain purposes. Otherwise they removed you for whatever reason.

Are any of these friends in different regeons to you? Different countries?
Are exiting Steam correctly with a fried invite still open?
Exit Friends and chat first them correctly exit Steam before closing off PC.

20 million daily concurrent users, yet less than a handful of people report it here over a time period of three years, and it happens to be the same friend that's "bugged" and gets removed each time.

That's either an extremely uncommon and specific set of circumstances, or it's people not owning up to not wanting that person on their list anymore. Until further evidence, Occam's Razor says it's the latter.

On the slim chance it is a bug, don't expect it to be fixed, except by accident. Tracing the exact set of circumstance it happens to diagnose and fix it at this incidence rate is nigh impossible.

Dnes se mi stalo to samé. Měl sem 43 přátel. Všechny jsou pryč. Psal sem na podporu Steamu. Co čekat od Steamu? Nic. je to banda sráčů. Opět nepomůžou. Vše manuálně nejspíš budu muset naklikat.
