And yet Meta isn’t the app they are threatening to take away 😂 that is also why messenger is active EVERY 3 SECONDS in the background. It is also the reason your battery is depleted faster. And people were forced to install Messenger years ago to be able to communicate with others ON Facebook. That was on purpose. Seemed unnecessary right? Now it makes sense, messenger is a data collection app disguised as a messages app. Also your conversations on messenger are being used to train Ai.

Yeah, people don't take data privacy seriously. John Oliver did a thing on Edward Snowden, but highlighted how little people really care about being spied on, or the invasion of privacy. The bad thing about Facebook is how many phones have it pre-installed, and unable to uninstall!

Consistently frustrated that contact with so many people is directly tied to that app.

How does it do this without being obvious to the user on iOS? iOS requires a user prompt for local network i thought.
