Facebook iOS app silently turns on your phone camera. Ah, relax – it's just a bug, lol!?

other spurious permissions

I recently had call to re-install facebook on my phone (after a few years of peace) so that i had convenient access to information about a gathering i was attending. Opened up the FB app, (first time on a new ish phone) and it already knew who i was. When the app was opened, i got a pop up asking for access to my Bluetooth! which was promptly blocked. As soon as i had met up with my friends, i removed the app.
