It's been a tough week for Facebook — especially after UK lawmakers likened Mark Zuckerberg and Watch Revenge Ride Onlineother execs to "digital gangsters."
Conveniently, days after that damning report dropped, Facebook released a new security feature. Now, Android users will be able to limit location sharing in the Facebook app.
SEE ALSO: Facebook's plan to merge Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram raises data privacy concernsApple already gives iPhone users three options to choose from: refusing to share location information, always sharing it, and only sharing only when the app is in use.
Android, sadly, does not give users all of those options. You're either sharing all of the time or not sharing at all.
That's why Facebook is giving users the option to turn their "Background Location" on or off in the Android app. Turn it off, and the app won't share your location data when it's not in use. That might limit features like "Nearby Friends," but also give you peace of mind.

Facebook said that every Android user sharing their location information in the app would get a notification telling them about the new feature. If you never turned on "Location History," you won't get an alert.
Sure, it might not make up for Cambridge Analytica or the many other privacy scandals Facebook has been involved in, but, um, it's a start?
