How does Facebook know where I am when I don't check in?
So I'm at the mall in my city, with my cell (iPhone 5). I get a fb update that my sister is near me. She had checked into a store that was near me.
But since i never checked in anywhere how'd fb know we were close?! Ads |

Probably because your FB app has access to all of your phone's features, including GPS. Effectively, your phone is a minute-by-minute spy for them into your personal life, whether you use it or not.

Because your GPS is on. You can turn it off by going Settings>Privacy>Location Services
