Facebook to begin monitoring phone activities with new app

Social media giants, Facebook will once again begin paying people to monitor their phone’s activities through a new application called Study.

Study will monitor which other applications are installed on a person’s phone, the time spent on them, your location, additional data, among other things. Facebook says it won’t see any specific content including messages, passwords, and websites you visit, thereby adhering to a somewhat reasonable privacy rule.

The launch comes several months after the company’s last user-tracking research application, Facebook Research, was shut down due to a pair of controversies.
