Auto-deny friend requests

Product: Apex Legends
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
AMD or Nvidia Model Number RTX 2060
Enter RAM memory size in GB 16
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? M3nriq
Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible.
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)?
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)?
Where did the issue occur? In the lobby (waiting area before the match)
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. In the game lobby
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Was in the lobby
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? Yes
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? Doesn't matter
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Minor impact to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? Friend requests show after game is opened when they are set to be denied
What should be happening instead? Requests should be denied
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Set "Crossplay invites" to "Deny all" close the game, send a friend request to that account, open the game and the request should pop up in the lobby

Follow-up to my last post, the issue in that post seems to be fixed but I discovered one more thing. When the "Crossplay invites" is set to "Deny all" and you get friend requests, they will show up next time you open the game. Now I don't know if this is intended behaviour or if it's still a bug with the system, but anyway I think it should be fixed so that the requests will be denied even when the game isn't open or they get denied as the game is opened. Happens on both Steam and Origin on PC, so probably on consoles too.

    @M3nriq Is it just a friend request you get still or do party invites come up as well when you reopen?

    @EA_Illium Upon further testing, I found out that the friend requests will still show after restart even if you have the "Crossplay invites" set to "Deny all" if you just stay in the lobby after restarting, but after just going to the "Friends" section where the setting is, the requests will be denied. So if you restart the game after setting the crossplay invites to be denied, restarted the game and just went to the lobby without doing anything else, the requests will show regardless if you received them while the games is closed or open, but as soon as you visit the "Friends" section, they will be denied. What comes to the party invites, from my understanding the setting doesn't affect those, so they come through as they're supposed to.
