Facebook logs ALL your phone calls and texts but the social media giant insists the function has always been ‘opt-in only’
User Dylan McKay revealed Facebook logged every mobile call he'd ever made
Another Emma Kennedy says social network knew all the events she'd gone to
Data uncovered when users delete their profiles and are offered to download it
The Facebook data scandal deepened last night after users found the social network had harvested information including call logs and text messages.
Some users discovered the Silicon Valley giant had been storing complete logs of incoming and outgoing calls and text messages.
Others reported that data such as contacts in their address books, social events in their calendars and even friends' birthdays had been stored.
One user, Dylan McKay, reported that from October 2016 to July 2017 his logs contained 'the data of every [mobile] call I've made, including time and duration' and 'data about every text message I've received or sent'.
The discoveries came after some Facebook users tried to delete their profiles over the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
