I've spent hours of effort making sure Facebook Apps on my phone never have access to my location. It's something I'm particularly crept out with regard to Facebook specifically.
I've granted them access to my photo library when I'd like to post a picture there, so this means they they can suddenly read all the photos in my library, including their exif data?
If so, what are they chances they are collecting all that exif and uploading it? I'd be genuinely pissed. And if such a practice came to public eyes, wouldn't that bring up enough of an uproar to cause fb some serious harm?

- michelb 9y agoEven if they are not using your exif, they will be trying to identify your locations in the photos based on the presence of other people, landmarks, or other objects. In the same way that Google does.
- hobarrera 9y agoWhat I've found works best for keeping access to photos restricted, is clicking on "Share" on the iOS photos app, and then selecting the target app (eg: FB Messenger). This means that the target app doesn't get access to my entire library -- but I can still share one (or a few) photos through it.
