This is called sandboxing and is absolutely fundamental to how the iOS system works, and how iOS offers security to users
True, but Facebook does seem to have some kind of special status on iOS - it's not just a vanilla app, it appears in its own section in Settings and hooks into Contacts in ways that other apps can't. So it is [b][i]possible[/i][/b] that Apple allow them out the sandbox a little.

Yeah, you'd be naive to think Facebook don't get some special treatment, but I think spying on users would be a step too far. Apple have quite a staunch record on users privacy.
If Facebook somehow got Apple to let them listen to users with the app in a background state that means someone at a high level at Apple approved that.
It certainly runs in a background state (as a service) on Android, that's how it can pop up alerts when someone "likes" your photo or whatever. Doesn't it do something similar on iOS?

Thats a push notification.

On android, notifications don't need opt in. iOS you have to give permission.
in both cases, the OS themselves have a service that enables notifications to push. They don't require the app to be open, and when you receive a push, it doesn't open the app. (unless you choose to)

TIL, I stand corrected. ❗
Screen grab from my 6+, running whatever version of iOS it's updated to; (checks) 9.3.2 (13F69).
The mic was on, it seems by default, I've switched it off, can't really see any point in having it on for Fb.

Facebook has voice calling through messenger, I imagine thats the reason (smokescreen) for having mic access
Just switched ours off on all devices fwiw
Messenger is a separate app (on iOS at least).
The Facebook app justifies the microphone because they use it to ("optionally") identify what TV/film/music you are watching or listening to:

On the technical side regarding data, it's quite possible to quick analyse on device and create hashes of the data and send them to the back end. Image comparison often works this way. Hash the data to get a signature which is a small amount of data and then compare signatures in a database on the back end for a similar match. Likewise done with audio, rather than send a whole sample over the wire.
What are you guys on about? This is well known behaviour and another drain on phone resources :/
Messenger becomes mandatory soon, no more mobile site access.
This is well known behaviour
What is?
*confused*
