This android only.

From the article:

Meta managed to do this even when:

  • You aren’t using the app (but have a session open in the background).

  • You haven’t logged into your account in the browser.

  • You’re browsing in incognito mode.

  • You’re using a VPN.

  • You delete cookies at the end of every session.

The captured data includes:

  • Complete browsing history with specific URLs

  • Products added to cart and purchases made

  • Registrations on websites and completed forms

  • Temporal behavioral patterns across websites and apps

  • Direct linking to real identities on social networks

You’re not affected if (and only if)

  • You access Facebook and Instagram via the web, without having the apps installed on your phone

  • You browse on desktop computers or use iOS (iPhones)

  • You always used the Brave browser or the DuckDuckGo search engine on mobile
