Right now they collect meta data to map connections to reinforce FB and IG relationships to keep you in their ecosystem. They’ve been trying to work out to ads like Viber has for years.

I only use whatsapp though. Never used insta and deleted fb years back, probably in 2017-18.

  Doesn’t matter, as much info as you shared gets put into a profile. Then what WiFi networks you connect to, your location, plus your old FB profile, all get triangulated to others. So Meta still cares because if you rejoin FB next week, it’ll suggest people it knows you are physically close to.
  
  I use a creeper FB account at work with zero info even close to me IRL, and because our external IP addresses are the same, of auto suggests any of my colleagues that log on to their FB at work.
