information can it actually access?  share|improve this question
2 Answers 2  up vote 3 down vote accepted  It used to be that
applications had full access to all your data, but now it's more
restricted:  instead of granting access to all of their profile
data when engaging with an application for the first time, users
will now authorize only specific categories of user data – like
interests, gender, or their current city, for example. With the
changes, when developers want to access new profile information
fields not granted in the original application authorization,
they’ll need to ask for explicit permission.   So the
application should ask you for permission and tell you which
categories of data it wants access to. So if you're not happy
about letting an application having access to your photos for
example you should be able to tell and not install it.
