It's a stark new warning for nearly all iPhone users, as Facebook has suddenly been caught "secretly" collecting sensitive data without anyone realizing it. To make matters worse, there is no way to stop this particularly aggressive tracking except by deleting the application.
Facebook still uses metadata from your photos and IP addresses to get location data, even if you update the "never" setting to track your location. Facebook acknowledged the gains but declined to explain why it was wrong for users to disable location tracking.
Now suddenly security researchers are warning that Facebook will go a step further by using the accelerometer to track a steady stream of movement on your iPhone, which could easily be used to monitor your activity or behavior when in particular places, or when interacting with apps and services. Worryingly, the data can even match you with people close to you, whether you know them or not.
As with photo location data, the most serious problem here is the absolute lack of transparency. You do not receive a warning that this data is being traced, and there are no Settings to enable or disable tracing; In fact, there doesn't seem to be any way to turn this feature off and stop Facebook(literally) from continuing.
