Facebook offers a more specific look on how it will restrict data access on Facebook, and these nine plans will be effective starting on Monday, 9th of April, 2018.

See the changes via:

1. Event API: Any app using the event API will no longer be able to access the guests lists and post on the event wall.

2. Groups API: Apps using the Group API will no longer have access to group member list and all third-party apps will need approval from Facebook and admin to ensure they benefit the group.

3. Pages API: All future access to the Pages API will need to be approved by Facebook.

4. Facebook Login: Facebook will need to approve all apps that request access to information such as check-ins, likes, photos, posts, videos, events and groups. Facebook will also no longer allow apps to ask for access to personal information such as religious or political views, relationship status and details, custom friends lists, education and work history, fitness activity, book reading activity, music listening activity, news reading, video watch activity, and games activity.

5. Instagram Platform API: The Instagram Platform API has been deprecated.

6. Search and Account Recovery: You can no longer search for a Facebook profile by phone number or email address.

7. Call and Text Recovery: Call and text history doesn’t collect message data, but rather who you message and call most frequently. You can opt-out of this and all logs older than one year will be deleted.

8. Data Providers and Partner Categories: This product enables third-party data providers to offer their targeting directly on Facebook. Today, Facebook has decided to shut it down to protect people’s privacy.

9. App control: Finally, starting on Monday, April 9, Facebook will show people a link at the top of their News Feed so they can see what apps they use — and the information they have shared with those apps. People will also be able to remove apps that they no longer want. As part of this process Facebook will also tell people if their information may have been improperly shared with Cambridge Analytica.
