Whenever you upload a picture or a friend of you tags you in his picture, then that information reaches the huge database of Facebook's doorstep. Then Facebook's special Artificial Intelligence photo identifies it with different algorithms and identifies the person in the picture and adds them to your name. As a result, whenever you upload a photo, Facebook is adding photos of your full face to your database based on varying angle and differentiation of light in the photo. This Facebook Face Recognition software is incredibly 98%! Where Google has identified an African-American gorilla in its photo app! There are reasons behind this incredible efficiency of Facebook. The reason is that Facebook does not have to compile the whole part of its huge database to do it. Your friends are tagged with pictures that you have tagged in or uploaded the photos you are uploading just by checking them out of Facebook. So before tagging or uploading a picture in the next picture, remember that you are helping Facebook with a more recent picture.

Facebook on mobile, that means you are also using Facebook Messenger app, is not it? At least without this software, chatting is a little bit intimidating. Did you know when using messenger that you sent your exact location with each message? [If GPS and share location is done] A Indian-American programmer, Aron Khanna has created a little Chrome plugin to make a little fun with messages sent to his friends. From each message sent to each of his friends, he found out the way to the friends' movement by giving different inputs to his location. From this messenger's message, Facebook can detect latitude and longitude 5 digits after decimal, ie your movement can be understood from less than a meter! Arna Khanna has taken out her specific position from the message she sent to her friends for a few weeks and surprisingly her friends have not been anywhere else except a fixed place. It may not be too dangerous for a friend to have this information, but if it is anyone who wants to harm you? Eventually, at the request of Facebook, Khanna removed her plugin from Chrome and Facebook also closed the location sharing extension from the desktop webpage. But who knows, you may still be unaware of your Facebook!

Where Facebook's goal was to bring all people together in one place, to say that Facebook is pushing each other far away.
