As you probably know, Facebook is a vast social media platform that offers numerous ways for people to interact with one another and just generally enjoy have a good time. One of Facebook’s most popular features is the ability to run third-party apps. If you can think of something you’d like to do on Facebook, there’s probably an app that makes it possible. And many apps are indeed quite useful. But there’s something you need to know about Facebook apps: Some of them can be downright dangerous! An app that’s poorly written or written with mal intent can cause all kinds of strange unexplained issues with your Facebook experience: Photos, status updates and comments that you’ve posted will simply disappear without a trace. Photos, status updates and comments that you didn’t post will show up on your Timeline or in your friends’ newsfeeds, making it appear that you’re responsible for posting them. And when that happens they’re usually posts that put you in a bad light. Your friends start receiving Instant Messages that appear to have been sent by you, even though you never sent them.
