Facebook to soon stop Nearby Friends and Weather Alerts feature
By MYBRANDBOOK
Facebook will stop offering two features to its users - Facebook nearby friends and Facebook weather alerts. From May 31, 2022, Nearby Friends and Weather alerts will not be available on Facebook's application.
Adding to it, the platform also says that information shared by users for these services will no longer be collected after May 31, 2022. Other location-based functionalities including Weather Alerts, Location History, and Background Location are also disappearing from the platform.
The meta-owned platform also says that it will delete any location history or background location information users have previously shared. However, Facebook will continue collecting location and other user data for other services it offers. The company has provided the deadline till August 1 this year for users to download their data including location history.
Facebook started the Nearby Friends feature on both iOS and Android back in 2014. The optional functionality shows which friends are nearby or on the go. Once you turn on Nearby Friends, you'll occasionally be notified when friends are nearby, so you can get in touch with them and meet up. Also, you can see when your friends are travelling and see the city they are in.
The company recently announced its plans to shut down its podcast platform less than a year after its launch as part of a broader re-evaluation of Facebook's audio products
