Facebook App has no location settings

[Super Spartan]

When I go to privacy, the Facebook Apps is not listed there. I want to turn off location for Facebook. Today I opened Facebook and it suggested to me wifi hotspots based on my location so that means it does have location access.

Settings>Facebook>location

Settings>Facebook>location

There is no location setting in Settings > Facebook, just high quality photo upload, background app refresh, etc.
[doublepost=1524249501][/doublepost]Even in the Facebook App itself, if I go to settings, Location is no where to be found it's like they've removed the ability for you to turn location off.
[doublepost=1524250106][/doublepost]I installed Friendly + and even that doesn't have location settings neither in the iOS settings nor within the app itself

It’s true there’s no location setting for Facebook anymore. It’s possible due to Facebook privacy issue with the recent breach they may have removed from their app. I lost track which app update removed it though.

Strange, the location settings for Facebook are exactly where they should be on my phone. Settings -> Privacy -> Location services -> Facebook (the path might not be a 100% correct, I have it all in Finnish).

I don’t believe that’s true.

Assuming you have the latest FB app updated today? Even FB Messenger app location was removed for me too.

Both are on the newest version here, and both have the setting for location under Location Services. Like I said, strange.

As I recall, some permission settings (like for location) might not appear in settings until you have been initially asked in the app to enable or disable them (after that initial choice those settings should be present in settings).

You generally get prompted for these types of permissions in the app either when you start using the app first or if you access some functionality in the app that requires some permission that wasn't previously asked about.

I'm curious but are you on iOS beta?

No beta. And my profile is based in the U.S.

You're right. I recall I never use Location for either apps and once prompted for location permission then it would be visible in settings.

I believe if you delete and download the app again it will show after you launch the app for the first time.

You were spot on, I tried checking in some location in the Friendly app and then it asked for location permission which in turn made the location settings for that app appear in the Settings > Privacy > Location

Thanks a lot for the tip
