Facebook has been recording people’s call records on Android. Another reason I never use Android.
I love that people defend Android because you can change permissions. Yeah and people read EULAs right? 🙄 iOS doesn’t even let developers access call history or SMS data.

Facebook has responded and doesn’t explain why it needs phone call records or SMS data when it’s seemingly asking for contacts access. It says the feature launched in 2015 as opt-in newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/03/f…
I discovered it was a Facebook software engineer that emailed me because I looked up their personal email address they used to contact me... on Facebook. You can do the same thing with phone numbers, because Facebook has collected a lot of data from 2.2 billion people
