Your phone always knows where you are. And now, if you want, your Facebook friends will always know where you are, too.
Facebook is introducing a mobile feature called Nearby Friends that taps into that steady stream of location information so friends can track each other in real time.
The idea is to make it
easy for people to meet up in real life, so they can have conversations
in person instead of comment threads,
temporarily replacing Likes and
LOLs with eye contact and actual laughter. A live meet-up is also an
excellent opportunity to grab a selfie with your pal and upload it to
the Facebook owned Instagram.
In a refreshing change, the new Nearby Friends feature is not turned on by default.
New Facebook tool finds your friends
Friends will not be able
to see where you are unless you decide live-tracking is something you
want in your life and visit Facebook's settings to turn it on. Making a
potentially invasive new feature opt-in suggests Facebook has perhaps learned from some of its past mistakes and privacy problems.
