Facebook wants to remove some location tracking features due to their “low usage”

Facebook has informed users of the removal of features based on location. Users have already received a notification in the Facebook app to end using Nearby Friends. This feature allows people to share their current location with other Facebook friends. According to the social network, "Reminders", "Location History" and "Background Location" will also disappear soon. These features and products will not be available after May 31, 2022.

But that doesn't mean Facebook will stop using location data altogether. According to the company, such information will continue to be collected "for other purposes." For example, to provide relevant advertising or check location in accordance with its data policy.

Thus, Facebook will soon lose another amount of data that it can use to support its ads platform.
