According to a spokesperson, the move is intended to make Facebook "easier to navigate and use." Users will soon get a warning about the change that is happening on the platform. Your contact information and relationship status, among other details, will remain as usual. If you are determined to keep your Facebook data, you can download a copy of it before December 1st, because after that time some of the information will be gone. Beyond reducing the amount of scrolling in the "contact and basic information" section, the change will have little practical effect on usability.
This could be a sign of shifting attitudes toward privacy. Privacy, on the other hand, is a major concern right now. Meta itself has been more concerned with privacy in recent years, focusing on more secure chats and private conversations. Users mainly focus on privacy for their social accounts right now more than anything.
