Viral FaceApp Unnecessarily Requests Access to Users’ Facebook Friends List

FaceApp Unnecessarily Access Your Facebook Friends Lists. FaceApp has been found collecting the list of your Facebook friends for no reason. The Russian-made app has been around since the spring of 2017 but taken social media by storm over the course of the past few weeks as millions of people downloaded the app to see how they would look when they are older or younger, or swap genders. The app also contains a feature that allows users to download and edit photos from their Facebook accounts, which only works when a user enables FaceApp to access the social media account.
