That's from Facebook's response to the scandal, right?

Has that prompt always been there? A lot of people seem to be unaware that Facebook has been doing this, and I haven't seen anyone say they saw that prompt in 2015.

I searched Google for the text of that prompt, or any reference to Facebook accessing your SMS history, in 2014 to 2017, and didn't find anything.

The earlier prompt never mentioned anything about sms and call logs, just uploading contacts.
