These above controls were for users to over user who can see future posts or who can send friend request but facebook uses an advance technology to gather information of  user like what activities ( browsing, other apps usage, ads etc)  a user performs on mobile Phone and based on these activities they show us ads and they also keep record of our location and other information.

So, today facebook has announced a new feature called ” Your facebook information ” in which we may manage all information. If we wanna disallow facebook to not to gather information then we will have to off that option. In below picture you may see all options.
