Facebook published a blog post explaining how it relies on location data, and how new iOS and Android software updates will affect access to that information, ahead of the expected release of iOS 13 and less than a week after Google released Android 10
The blog post on Monday said"Facebook is better with location." It comes ahead of the expected release of Apple's latest software update, iOS 13, and less than a week after Google released Android 10.As part of the iOS update, people will get notifications with information about which apps are collecting their location info in the background and how many times they've accessed it in a certain time period.
In Android 10, people can allow individual apps to access their location both while they use the app or when they're not. In the past, sharing background location info was either on or off, and didn't account for choosing to share the information while an app was in use or not.Despite these updates, Facebook may still be able to collect info about a person's location — even if the location settings on their device are turned off, according to the blog post.
