New Facebook Update Will Give You More Control Over Data Sharing With 3rd Party Apps

Facebook is updating its terms to give more control to users for sharing data with 3rd party apps. The social networking giant also introduced an Anonymous Login feature that lets you log into apps without sharing personal information.

The new version of Facebook Login will give users the option to pick and choose what information apps get by selecting or deselecting categories one of one. It also refrains the app to post to Facebook without Facebook's permission.

At a later stage, users can still pick to share any additional information, if they prefer.

Other improvements include a redesigned App Control Panel, which according to the company, will be a central place for people to see and manage the apps they use.

The new Login feature will be rolled out in the few months and the updated app control panel will be available in the coming weeks.
