This shouldn't happen unless you're logging out and logging back in literally every time you use the app
Interesting. I am not doing that.
This happens to me too, fwiw. Drives me nuts.
Haven’t tested yet but I *believe* if you press okay and then press “Don’t Allow” to the actual following system dialog, it will never be allowed to prompt again. I believe those are priming prompts not real system TCC prompts.
I agree they are priming prompts and I say no to them all the time
Saying no to the priming prompts won’t do anything. Saying yes to the priming prompt and then no to the system prompt will prevent them from being able to pop the system prompt in the future and will possibly make the priming prompts go away too. (Haven’t tested yet.)
Facebook wants you for your contacts. They want you to consent to access to your contacts so they can use them for targeted ads as well. You're only useful to Facebook if you upload your contacts. Palantir and Zuckerberg designed it that way from inception.pic.twitter.com/zb33TpB6VK
Simple fix, delete messenger and never put it back. ;-) I use FB on Chrome on iOS when I need to tell someone to contact me some other way.
This flow is garbage, but the fact that you're seeing it repeatedly is certainly a bug. Reinstalling would probably fix it.
I still can't believe that ANYONE would install Facebook messenger. The amount of privacy invasion is absolutely insane! Always log in via browser's w/extension's. If you still use FB Messenger, seriously question... Why!?!?
I dumped FB and I am more than happy about it every day. Fuck that android Zuckerberg.
This is the kind of thing that the EU's GDPR prevents; if you were in Europe you wouldn't be getting this treatment, I don't think.
Sadly, here in Europe we have the same problems, althoug Star's problem seem a bug to me. GDPR doesn't prevent apps to be annoying, it only prevents Companies to use your personal data without punishment. On the contrary websites are asking again and again if they can use cookies
Funnily enough, they'd have to set a cookie to say you opted out of cookies. I suspect that's fine in GDPR parlance, but I imagine these site owners are too paranoid to risk it.
Well GDPR allow to store mandatory datas, so yeah, they *can* use a cookie for cookie preferences
I was thinking more of their requirement that an opt in be truly optional, and not coercive.
Don't use it. Just use the web browser.
This doesn't work on mobile :-(. If you go to http://messenger.com on mobile it will keep asking you to open the app, even if you don't want to!
Just use http://facebook.com .
It redirects you to http://messenger.com when you click the "messages" link. Go give it a shot.
Go into your browser settings and select Desktop mode.
