Hello,

even with the FB app disabled it can still gather data = and DOES SO. 

Can you please help me understand how to stop them accessing e.g. my accelerometer and speakers? This is discussed in length at various sources including Forbes. If we cannot remove the app, what are you doing to negate their access to personal data - and how are you going compensate us for the breach that currently exists?

 

Thank you

Hi, Welcome to the Samsung Members Community Canada. Since it is an inbuilt app that cannot be removed from the device. If the app is disabled then it will not capture any information.
