Facebook, the Social Media giant is trying to achieve something big in its field. Recently, facebook declared to roll out its latest feature called "Nearby Friends". This will be an optional feature for its users to be opted.
Facebook stated - "If you turn on Nearby Friends, you’ll occasionally be notified when friends are nearby, so you can get in touch with them and meet up. For example, when you’re headed to the movies, Nearby Friends will let you know if friends are nearby so you can see the movie together or meet up afterward."
Users should agree to give facebook permission to track them wherever they are even when they are not using this application. This sharing is two-way i.e. you and your friends both have to turn on this feature and chose to share with each other to see when you're nearby.
Facebook also tested a similar feature last year, but stopped this feature by saying this testing was just an experiment. But now, as facebook is flooded with users ready to launch this feature soon on Android and IOS platforms. It is in view of facebook's acquisition of an app named "Glancee" last year.
