Facebook Also Recording Phone Calls And SMS


Facebook recently admitted that they are also recording user data related to phone calls and SMS.

This initial issue came from a Facebook user who just downloaded all his data stored on the social media platform. He is aware of the date, the time, the duration of the call and the call recipient, which he has done in recent years.

In a published response, Facebook denied the news although it did not rule out it could happen. Facebook party mentions if they never record or record the history of calls or text messages that exist in the user's smartphone without permission.

This, according to the Facebook, will help users find or stay connected with the closest people, also make better experience on Facebook. So the data stored only those who agree.

Unfortunately, tech analyst from Ars Technica, Sean Gallagher, confronted the statement. According to him, it is very unlikely that all Facebook users are aware of this opt-in option. The reason, Opt-in is the default option on the settings and the user has never been informed separately related to this.
