Facebook Begins Prepping Developers for Its New Off-Facebook Activity Tool

Facebook Login may be impacted once people start using it

Facebook began preparing developers for the Off-Facebook Activity tool it unveiled Tuesday, even though the tool is currently available only in Ireland, South Korea and Spain.

Software engineer Brad Hill cautioned in a blog post that Facebook Login may be impacted once users gain access to the Off-Facebook Activity tool and begin using it.

He wrote, “When people exercise control to clear their Off-Facebook Activity or disconnect future activity, their user access tokens for third-party applications or websites where they used Facebook Login will be invalidated, and they may be logged out of the app or website.
