The one that got me to delete the app was when I went out one night on a first date with a woman, and then both the woman and I immediately started showing up in each other's "do you know" prompts.
There is probably an explanation for this that doesn't boil down to "FB watched our GPS and noticed our phones sat next to each other at the same location for several hours," but it still felt sufficiently creepy to make me uninterested in sticking around to figure it out.

"That’s why location is only one of the factors we use to suggest people you may know.” 1. https://splinternews.com/facebook-is-using-your-phones-location-to-suggest-new-f-1793857843 https://splinternews.com/facebook-is-using-your-phones-locat...

- r0m4n0 7y agoYea this I believe to be true as well. A few people I’ve matched with on tinder repeatedly showed up on PYMK soon after. Leading up to a date would only make sense that they would search by name on Facebook. More likely that than the information between the services
