I came across the same problem while making my own platformer type game that was seen in the 2D platformer tutorial videos where the player sticks to the side of platformers when the player falls of them. I have applied a 2d physics material with 0 friction to both my player characters and the platforms and the player still sticks to the side of the platform. Is there something else that I need to do?
2D Platformer : Player Sticking to Walls Even With 0 Friction

It only happens when you walk/jump off the platform and then touch the side of the platform (in this case move back to the right while in the air to touch the left side of the platform). You don’t need to hold right once you have touched the wall and are stuck, but it stays there until you press left.

I just added a slippery physics material to objects that the player would collide with. (Walls, Platforms, etc). There’s a prefab slippery material in the 2D Sample Assets.
Wouldn’t this make the player also slide around when walking on top of the platform?

Create physics material with 0 friction
Apply box collider or edge or polygon to whatever object u need
Drag material to box collider..
I had this exact problem, and its fixed now, trust me it works !

I came across this issue as well and applying the Physic’s material with 0 works but you also have to watch the size of your colliders on the player object. I had a circle collider on the feet of the player and a box on the torso of the player. The collider on the torso was larger across than the circle so it caused the box collider to sit on top of the platform causing the player to hang there even through the physics material was set to 0.
I only have one box collider on the player. Is there a chance that somehow the bottom of the collider is somehow sitting on the side of the platform collider?

THANK YOU!!!! It was a very stupid issue. You see, I wanted the top of my player objects to count as ground so that double jump will be reset just as if you had landed on a platform. To achieve this I made a thin invisible rectangle that rest above the player’s head. After switching to scene view during play I saw that the rectangle was extending past the edge of the player box collider and was resting on the top of the platform as if a hand had reached up to grab the edge.
