Check out Folio! I just switched to this from Tinfoil for Facebook and its really nice. It's under very active development. It also supports notifications and you can set the refresh frequency. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.creativetrends.folio.app
Folio for Facebook is a great new app for Facebook. Its been undergoing quite a redesign over the past few weeks. Have been an alpha/beta tester of the app and can vouch or it. Moreover ever the developer has been extremely responsive to any sort of feedback. What I love about it is the almost instant notifications that closely match the speed of the official Facebook app.
TLDR; Awesome, smooth Facebook app, with a nice notification handling system.
You could try using an app like Folio (it has an Instagram component in the side menu) or perhaps the mobile website through your browser to improve your screen-on time.
Pretty much any kind of game can drain your phone's battery life. You can't really do much about it. They are demanding applications.
Other than that things like turning on battery saver on your phone (this can decrease your phone's performance), turning off Wi-Fi/Bluetooth when you don't use them, turning off automatic synchronisation of data (Settings > Accounts > scroll to the bottom), maybe lowering the screen's brightness.
The phone only has an Android one version, by the way.
Edit: I also turn off WiFi/4G when I go to bed and I use the desktop version/website of an app on my computer when I can. Charging the phone before it reaches 10% and then stopping it before 80% doesn't help with SOT, but it can help with the overall life expectancy of the battery itself.
No, this is recently happening. Got an update (patch) from "Folio for Facebook" app and found this fresh post on androidpolice site.
It's current update note says "Patch for messages. Facebook is removing messages from the mobile site soon, I'm not sure how long this patch will work. I have no control over this. Fix for Instagram login. Improvements to Folio Browser.".
- Edit: It is NOT about Facebook mobile app; it's about Facebook mobile site, "m.facebook.com". Messenger was always working, until recently it started to redirect to messenger app on Play store.
I just started using Folio yesterday and so far so good. Bonus is you can chat right in the app without messenger.

Folio for Facebook is the best I've found. Dev constantly adding features.
Recently started using Folio on Android for Facebook. Requires very little permissions and gives push notifications for both messages and notifications from Facebook. It's the best mobile site wrapper app I've used, keeps the Facebook bar at the top too.
I rarely use Facebook and I figured having it Greenified would keep it under control, but I dumped the app and I'm happy to do so. I was just using a Chrome tab saved to desktop as Russel suggested, but then Alex (also from AA) recommended Folio which is just a skin around a Facebook chrome tab and it's pretty nice so far. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.creativetrends.folio.app&hl=en
On my rooted Galaxy S5 I have been using Folio and its amazing. I hated that I had to install the Facebook app and Messenger app. Folio seems pretty lightweight also.

I am currently using Tinfoil, but I recently heard of an alternative choice, Folio. I'll probably try it regardless, but it is worth using?
I prefer this myself.
Uninstall Facebook, and switch to Folio. It's basically a wrapper for the mobile site, and works great:

I use Folio, although it's "just" a mobile site wrapper.
Try this app and uninstall the other Facebook and messenger apps

Folio works for me https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.creativetrends.folio.app
This app is incompatible with your device
It doesn't work with Samsung Galaxy S3.
I'd say that Folio for Facebook may even be a bit better. It also has Android Wear support.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.creativetrends.folio.app
also Folio
Much cleaner in my opnion
Also, shout out to folio which is essentially a shell that goes over the mobile site, but still has it's own charms!
How about an alternative app, NewsBite https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.creativetrends.folio.app
I'd recommend getting Folio instead, it has notification support.
