Facebook requests access to your location on Android devices for certain features, such as check-ins, location-based search, and targeted ads. However, you can choose whether or not to allow Facebook access to your location.

If you choose to allow Facebook access to your location, it can use GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell tower data to determine your location. This can be helpful if you want to share your location with friends or if you want to see local content and events.

However, if you are concerned about your privacy, you can choose to deny Facebook access to your location. To do this, go to your Android device’s Settings, then select “Apps & notifications” and find Facebook. From there, select “Permissions” and disable the location permission.

It is worth noting that Facebook can still collect information about your location through other means, such as your IP address or the location of the Wi-Fi network you are connected to. Additionally, denying Facebook access to your location may limit certain features and functionality of the app.
