Until now, s had no option but to share their Facebook information when they signed into apps or websites via Facebook . Either the app got all the details including the birth date, email address, access to friend list, profile and more or the s would have to create an and another set of credentials.

With the updated Facebook (seen above), s will be able to choose what data an app will be able to access. "For example, if someone wants to share their email address with an app, but not their birthday, they can make that choice with a couple taps," said the firm last year while introducing the tool. The app or website will also not be able to post anything on Facebook without 's permission.

When s tap " with Facebook" in an app, they will now be navigated to the Facebook page where they can tap on "Edit the info you provide" to choose what details they want to share with the app or website.
