Facebook Will Notify Users If a Third-Party Login Occurs
Daniel Johnson — January 16, 2020 — Social Media
Facebook now has the ability to inform users when a third-party login has occurred on another app. Users will be sent a notification through email, and also on the Facebook app, and details about the login will be shared with the Facebook user. Individuals will also have the ability to remove a third party-apps ability to access your information. Additionally, users will be able to see a list of all of the apps that currently have access to their data.
Facebook's new third-party login notifications could be an important addition for privacy-conscious social media users. Overall it is clear that Facebook is making data privacy a priority though empowering people to control who can access their data.
