Bangalore: The most popular trend in Facebook these days is hiding from your family. Teenagers block their family members by categorizing them under a group which has limited privileges. With the new app that Facebook is developing, teenager’s nightmares will come true.

Do you remember the days when your parents would ask you, “honey where are you going, it’s getting dark?” and you would make an excuse about going over to your friend’s place to complete your science project, well that’s not going to work anymore because now, you parents won’t have to ask you where you are going anymore. They can monitor your whereabouts with this new app that Facebook is developing – Ahhh!

The app is reportedly being developed by engineers from Glancee, a startup that Facebook acquired in mid-2012. The social networking giant is reportedly due to release the app by the middle of March. The app will help users find nearby friends and family. Now if you think that light bulb in your head has come on and you can simply switch off the app then be prepared to hear your dad saying – Aha, Gotcha! The app will continue to track a user's location even when the app isn't open.

You hate Facebook for some things but you will also love it for those very things – because you can monitor your friends and family too. This application has the potential to make an honest man and woman out of its users, even though, there is a question of how well will it be accepted by the market? Apple's Find My Friends and Google's Latitude already allow users to track each other's locations but introducing such a function in a social media network can be a huge breach to one’s privacy.
