Rotation and accelerometer data? So they want to know how you hold the phone in your hand when using the app? lol

Probably meant to be a way to estimate where you are if you have GPS turned off

iirc Google uses motion data to track if you're walking, biking, car, etc, so I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook/Meta did the same.
