What Are Connected Apps on Facebook?

Connected apps are third-party applications, websites, and services that have been granted access to your Facebook account. These apps often request permission to access profile information, friends list, and posts. Over time, unused or untrusted apps can pose security and privacy risks.

Why Should You Remove Unnecessary Facebook App Permissions?

• Prevent Unauthorized Access: Older or unused apps might still have access to your account.
• Protect Personal Data: Some apps collect and store more data than necessary.
• Reduce Security Risks: Hackers can exploit third-party app vulnerabilities to gain access to your account.
