Facebook has launched a Bulk app Removal Tool to clean up Your Privacy Settings and apps you added on your Facebook account.
As you know, there are apps embedded on Facebook apps which can be useful and fun to use, but they also have permission to do all sorts of things with your info.
Some of the apps on Facebook include "games", "on this day" "page manager" etc. Most, if not all the gaming apps at one stage in your life becomes useless hence you look for a method to remove it from your Facebook account.
For the apps you use regularly and trust, that’s not a big problem, but if you’ve got a lot of apps that you tried once and then stopped using or forgot about, that could turn into a problem one day.
This update is coming few weeks after Facebook was accused of violating user privacy by data privacy scandal linked with data analytics firm Cambridge analytical (CA). This made some reputable Facebook account owners like Playboy delete their official Facebook page.
Nevertheless, the good news is Facebook now lets you bulk remove third-party apps, and any posts published on behalf of those apps. I believe it will be a relief to many.
