Interesting. Do you have any more information about it? I haven't been able to find anything.
Their privacy policy seemed reasonably OK by modern standards, and all I can turn up is Facebook is getting map data from them; but nothing about Facebook being integrated into their products.
- Nextgrid 6y agoLook at the network traffic from the phone while the app is running. You will see traffic to graph.facebook.com on every app launch. I've just tested it and the latest iOS version of Here Maps as of today does indeed still include the Facebook malware and it's very eager to try and reach outside (dozens of failed connection attempts, looks like it doesn't take "no" for an answer).
- mikestew 6y agoConfirmed, on every launch. I think it might be hitting some other undesirables, but FB was enough for me to close the Pi-Hole interface and delete the app. Disappointing, but Apple Maps doesn't suck enough for me to get terribly upset, except for one less acceptable alternative existing.

- Engineering-MD 6y agoIf it’s not included in their privacy policy, would sharing with Facebook not be illegal? Are you an EU resident by any chance?
