Facebook app using GPS

[Cheetah Designs]

Anyway to stop this?

Turn off Location Services in the settings (within the app).

It is off....

Messenger location services
Location is off

...but I can still see it accessing GPS when I open the app.

Facebook will use the mobile network to get a approx location. Even when GPS is off.

Stopping using the app would be the logical conclusion if you're that worried.

I'm rooted, and use LBE Privacy to block it from accessing gps

 

[Grrrrr]

Where are you being routed benjo?

But yes, I can also recommend LBE Privacy. You can restrict which apps can or cannot access location, IMEI number, Wifi, Mobile data, etc etc

Are you worried in case the CIA finally find you?

Seriously, turn off location services and don't worry about it. Perhaps use the mobile website if your that bothered.
