There's a good reason why they separated it as a separate application




Facebook's Messenger looks like a great application that will be in one place to keep all private communication with your friends, but there is good reason why they separated it as a separate application. 

From Facebook say it is easier to scale and maintain a special application, which is partly true, but the company did not emphasize what is hiding in the conditions of use, which nobody reads. 

Of course, when Facebook said it all, no one would use the application. 

One billion people use Facebook on mobile devices, a mine for advertisers. The application is free, but it does not come without some hidden "costs." 

Your information is sold to advertisers who can target the ad clearly tailored just for you. 

All "free" applications we pay in one way or another. Huffington Post has looked a little deeper in terms of use Messenger and discovered quite tricky things that are not even aware of, and allow you to use Facebook them. 

You now have two options to delete the application and use the mobile version of Facebook, or simply do not use Facebook on your phone, writes winters. 

Below you can read only a few things that you "gave" the almighty Facebook: 
- Allows an application to change the state of network connectivity 
- Allows the application to call phone numbers without your intervention, which can lead to unexpected expenses or invitation. Malicious applications can be invoked without your confirmation thus creating a charge to your account. 
- Allows an application to send SMS messages. Malicious applications can send messages without your confirmation, which can in turn lead to unexpected costs. 
- Allows an application to record sound microphone. This license allows the application to record sound at any time without your consent. 
- Allows application to capture and record video camera. This permission allows the app to use the camera at any time without your confirmation. 
- Allows an application to read the call log of your device, including information about incoming and outgoing calls. This license allows applications store data in the call log and malicious applications can share data from the call list without your knowledge. 
- Allows an application to read data about your contacts stored on your device, including the frequency with which you called, sent e-mails or communicated in other ways with specific individuals. 
- Allows an application to read personal profile data that are stored in your profile such as your name and contact information. This means that the application can identify the person and can send your information to others. 
- Allows the application to access the phone settings of the device. This permission allows the app to determine the phone number and an identification number.
