Scroll down and tap "Settings," then find "Call And Text History Uploading." If the setting is enabled, simply tap the slider to disable it.

In the app, tap the menu icon in the top-right corner of the display.

If users were not presented with those permissions requests, then they don't have access to the feature at all. This is in stark contrast to Messenger, as that app explicitly requires users to agree to call and text logging before the feature can even be accessed. Interestingly, Facebook Lite, unlike Facebook Messenger, lets everyone enable or disable call and text logging. The case remains that many users were unaware of this activity, which occurs on both Messenger and Facebook Lite. The Android world exploded when it was discovered that Facebook was logging the call and text histories of many of its users, although the company claims those users had explicitly given Facebook permission to log that data.
