Request to be a friend

The other day on my phone (I’m pretty sure it was via the Plex App) I received are request to be a friend from a person. It showed their email which I did recognized. When I swiped the notification to unlocked my phone it launched the Plex App but I could find the request.

  1. I there such a feature?
  2. How did they find my server?

Over past 6 months I have also received 2 requests. Status of invites should be visible in web app under settings->users. They got your e-mail? Might be https://blog.plex.tv/2015/07/02/security-notice-forum-user-password-resets/

The security issue back then may explain how they got my email but I still don’t understand how they made the request.
