The Apple iPhone was protecting its users against FaceBook call scraping and SMS data mining which Android did not. Video included. —PING!

Glad I have an iPhone and have never signed up for Facebook.

Facebook scraped call, SMS data for years from Android phones.

Not my phone. I do not have FaceBook.

Can confirm that Facebook didn’t harvest my calls or text messages on my Iphones, 3, 5c and 6c

I did take Messenger and Facebook off my phone though.
