Facebook is about to suggest friends with people who are near you

Recently, Facebook has been granted a unique patent, which allows people to be near you and automatically suggest friends. This is a useful feature for users in case they want to make friends with their neighbors but do not dare to contact information.

This feature works by using different sensors in the smartphone including Bluetooth, NFC combined with signal strength analysis to determine if someone is standing near you. Even this feature can analyze whether the subject near you is standing still, walking, or cycling through GPS.

Unfortunately, this feature can only work successfully when both users' devices turn on suggesting friend mode when nearby.

If this feature is actually implemented by Facebook in the future, it will be very helpful for those who want to make friends and get acquainted with the girls / boys that they love but do not dare to ask for information directly or indirectly.
