user data to create profiles which advertisers can target, and that also includes the location data of your phone.Not everyone will encourage this process and if
you are among the one who
doesn't want to share your location data with Facebook then you can stop the
mobile app from tracking your location and allow it to do the same only when
you use it.Facebook has also rolled out a new location control for Android user, which send alerts to both Android and iOS users to check
their location setting for the app.
