The following guide provides a clear overview of Facebook, with the most relevant background, details, and practical takeaways.

Facebook Overview

This new feature takes advantage of smartphone positioning technology to identify which Facebook friends are near you. You will be sent a notification by Facebook when a friend is near you, otherwise, the other party will receive the same notification. It is convenient when you go to a cafe or restaurant and want to invite friends to join. Facebook allows users to enable / disable this feature on demand, which means that your location information will not be shared until the new feature is activated.

However, users note that once enabled, this feature will not turn off automatically but you will have to turn it off manually.
