I think this is the part where I delete Facebook. A step too far.
Nobody is forcing this on anyone. If you find it useful, install it. If you don't, then don't.

Have you previously paid any attention to the permissions the Facebook app asks for at all? I wanted to install Facebook on my Android device so I could share stuff on Facebook via the native "share" intent. Seeing the permission list made me reconsider.
When they broke messenger off into a different app I uninstalled. Right now I only use the mobile browser version and really only to upload photos of my daughter for my family to see. I'm starting to use it less and less though because the browser version is terrible.

#27Earlier quoted context omitted.
No, they don't. EDIT: I was wrong, this is one of the permissions they require on Android, however, not on iOS as Apple doesn't make it available to third-party developers.
Are the permissions different on iOS? Because I'm pretty sure they ask to see your call status and caller information on Android.
Yup I was wrong, different on iOS.

Read the article, this is a separate app. No need to uninstall the Facebook app. Or does this new app makes you so angry that you feel like deleting an other app from them?
