I don’t have that option. maybe it’s a weedos thing, mine is still running sierra because apparently “high sierra breaks things”

AirPods work fantastic for pairing, music playback, and calls. and with the charging case, keeping them charged up is a snap!

they do make you look like a oval office though. not as much as the bluetooth headsets of yore, but they still look loving stupid

just seems weird to have given it so much exposure, Facebook is a gross company and with the whole privacy angle it seemed a really weird thing for Apple

they backtracked at least

Facebook is probably the most popular app in the world. the integration was optional, not related to the Facebook app, and strongly protects privacy.

1) Facebook calendar - adds Facebook events and friend birthdays to you calendar. Facebook got no access to your other calendars.
2) contacts integration - it would add Facebook as a contact source. it would also resolve which of your contacts had Facebook entries and fetched their data. this was optional and did not send your contacts to Facebook, unlike the fb app that just slurps your contacts.
3) share to Facebook support - apps like photos and iMessage got a share to Facebook options. fb gets no info about anything you do except what you share.
4) Facebook login option for some apps.

interesting, so using the Apple Facebook integration gives them less info than using the browser or app?

the whole deal with Facebook shadow profiles is just so lovely and I try to interact as little as possible with FB which is why I didn’t appreciate their logo being so prominent from one OS update to the next

the browser gives them access to tracking cookies, which allows them to know what other sites you go to. Apple has fixed that now in that safari quarantines third party cookies between domains. in-app web views also don’t share cookies with safari or other apps, so they can’t link those.

the app is a data vacuum. it will ask for permissions for just about everything, which you should deny. it will send the contents of your paste buffer to facebook and the text of posts and replies you type and delete, your location, and pretty much any other info it can gather.

the iOS integration is fairly benign. I’m guessing they can probably get some info about who you know when it pulls their contact info even though Apple does a lookup by hash. but that’s about it afaik. either way, the integration does nothing until you log in, so if you don’t like Facebook, don’t log into it.

didn't the management actually work at apple though? taht's different than old cremns

interesting stuff about the old FB integrations. I'm glad at least one company gives a poo poo about not selling out their users data. it was probably the same deal with the Apple-developed YouTube and Maps apps. dead and gone because they didn't give enough data to Google.

im no capitalism apologist but if a company does something commendable, then I give credit where credit’s due.

You can do a lot with user data to increase ur margin w/o selling it to third parties if you are some kind of vertically integrated monstrosity such as Apple, and if you do sell it you might get a short term cash boost (which Apple doesn't need obviously) but potentially forfeit a bunch of long term profits to competition from third parties working in that dataset
