According to him, apps using the Events API will no longer be able to access the guest list or posts on the event wall starting today. The change will ensure that apps use their access properly. In the future, the company will only allow apps to use Events API if they agree to strict requirements.
Facebook said third-party apps using Group API will no longer be able to access the member list of a group. Apps using Pages API will need an approval to read posts and comments from any page.
Furthermore, Facebook will need to approve all apps requesting access to information such as check-ins, likes, photos, posts, etc. The company said it is tightening its review process by requiring apps to agree to strict requirements.
Moreover, the social network giant disabled the search and account recovery to reduce the risk of public profile scraping. Last week, Facebook shut down Partner Categories. Starting April 9, it will show people a link on their News Feed to see the apps they are using.
