The location app is designed to allow Facebook users to find friends in the area and will run even if the program isn’t open on a user’s handset.



Facebook already has a mobile “Find Friends” app, which allows users to let others know where they are by “checking in” at a bar, a library etc.



The new app is bound to raise privacy concerns as once it is activated it will continuously track the user’s movements.



The app - set to be launch in mid-March according to the Bloomberg report - could then prove useful to the social networking site in the way they target advertising based on the places their users visit.
