[Demonic Jenkins]

This shyt shows your location on a map??

lol all you gotta do is click the round blue icon right above the thumbs up icon to turn that off lol..yall are so paranoid smh

 

[Demonic Jenkins]

Funny story related to that though. I broke up with my ex months ago and started dating this othet girl. My ex got into a jealous arguement with me and told me where I was at...she only knew because she purposely messaged me through Facebook where it showed my location lol. Back then I didn't know u could do that...I turned it off and kept it moving lol

nikkas keep on acting like this app is doing anything Facebook and Instagram and Twitter and Vine doesn't do now

smh

When you go to download the app it shows they have access to your contacts, pics, texts, I think wifi info, things like that

Edit - read the permissions https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.orca

lol nah man. those are so u can turn on the sms feature and use it as a text app..it'd also for sending pictures and audio through it like I message or any text app...trust me I did all my research on all of this before going through with it lol

[dontreadthis]

lol all this thread is showing me is people don't know how the apps on their phones operate forreal.

Well I guess I'm one of the few that like the fact it's a separate app. I'm not active on FB y entire fam has a group chat and that's our primary method of communication. So I can utilize that without having to use the full fb app.

I don’t know anything about the invasion of privacy or anything like that, but i do know I’m not about to download a separate app, because i just don’t really feel like it.

Using facebook is so much better on windows phone. Facebook messaging is integrated into the OS so using it is very easy. No need to download spyware disguised as apps for basic services like messaging.

Use an Android and complain about apps being too nosey brehs...

never a good idea to force something onto the consumer or needing to have two apps. The popping head thing should have just been integrated into the fb app itself and it should have the option to turn that feature off because sometimes the popping heads get in the way of my mobile browsing or needed to dial a contact on my htc one

 

[Mr Rager]

does all of this as well

Change the state of network connectivity – This means that Facebook can change or alter your connection to the Internet or cell service. You’re basically giving Facebook the ability to turn features on your phone on and off for it’s own reasons without telling you.

Call phone numbers and send SMS messages – This means that if Facebook wants to…it can send text messages to your contacts on your behalf. Do you see the trouble in this? Who is Facebook to be able to access and send messages on your phone? You’re basically giving a stranger your phone and telling them to do what they want when they want!

Record audio, and take pictures and videos, at any time – Read that line again….RECORD audio…TAKE pictures….AT ANY TIME!! That means that the folks at Facebook can see through your lens on your phone whenever they want..they can listen to what you’re saying via your microphone if they choose to!!

Read your phone’s call log, including info about incoming and outgoing calls – Who have you been calling? How long did you talk to them? Now Facebook will know all of this because you’ve downloaded the new Facebook messenger app.

Read your contact data, including who you call and email and how often – Another clear violation of your privacy. Now Facebook will be able to read e-mails you’ve sent and take information from them to use for their own gain. Whether it’s for “personalized advertisements” or if it’s for “research purposes” ….whatever the reason..they’re accessing your private encounters.

Read personal profile information stored on your device – This means that if you have addresses, personal info, pictures or anything else that’s near and dear to your personal life…they can read it.
Get a list of accounts known by the phone, or other apps you use – Facebook will now have a tally of all the apps you use, how often you use them and what information you keep or exchange on those apps.

*deletes app*

This shyt is getting out of control man

Easy fix with jailbroken iDevice but I don't use facebook anyway.
