This does not surprise me at all, I know its a lame reference but Facebook's "groups" and "pages" and "app's" kind of do the same thing.

 

I guessed as much. But it doesn't bother me that much.

Good thing I'm still using a 6 year old phone, too bad we are upgrading next month though, really want a nice phone. Ehh...
