Here it comes yet another shocking news about the second world called Facebook.You may heard of news about facebooks privacy leaking.Recently citizens of india,america etc are talking about that, and NSA,PRISM,CISPA are become more complexity.This story about facebook app for android it is said that The Facebook Android app will automatically send your phone number to the social network's servers and this happens even without you explicity providing it.
The news comes via Symantec, which notes that hundreds of millions of people have downloaded the Facebook Android app and a "significant portion" of these handsets have been impacted.
"The first time you launch the Facebook application, even before logging in, your phone number will be sent over the Internet to Facebook servers," Symantec wrote. "You do not need to provide your phone number, log in, initiate a specific action, or even need a Facebook account for this to happen."
Facebook said that it doesn't use the phone numbers and deletes them from the servers but this does provide another black eye for the world's largest social network. The Facebook Android app also got some heat for having what some see as overly broad permissions, including the ability to take pictures without your permission, however, to be fair, a lot of Android apps do that.
Facebook is betting hard on Android, as the platform is the most widely used smartphone system on earth and the social network now considers itself a mobile company. It is growing like a weed on mobile systems but it has also had some missteps.
Facebook Home was released a few months ago and this "app-erating" system aimed to bring the social network closer to your Android phone. I didn't like it at all and apparently, I wasn't alone because the HTC First with Facebook Home is widely considered a flop.
Even Facebook is going back to the drawing board with Facebook Home and it has revamped it a bit to give users more access to their apps. It is still promising to deliver monthly updates to Facebook Home with improvements.
