Die haben aber auch GAR KEINEN Bock auf Konversation. Erst findet man nur über Umwege überhaupt einen Weg zum Kontakt (Email), und selbst dann wird man mit Hilfeseiten zugebombt.
Ich hatte mal Probleme bei der Verifizierung meines Accounts, kam einfach nicht weiter, und dann kommen die mit ihren Hilfeseiten wo zusammengefasst steht "Ja klick dich da einfach durch oder aktualisier doch noch mal die Seite, und hast Du denn überhaupt Internet? Prüf das doch mal, dann wird das schon". JA FICK DICH DOCH FACEBOOK. Und die App die so featureüberladen ist, dass sie bei jedem Handy laggt, und dann auch noch wegen irgendeinem bullshit (wozu brauch ich Kleinanzeigen in Facebook? Und wieso so penetrant?! Und wieso autoplayvideos auf der Startseite??!!) Ich hasse Facebook jeden Tag mehr, wenn das denn noch geht. Oder besser gesagt die Leute, die ich nur darüber erreiche, weil sie sonst keinen Messenger haben, wegen denen ich diesen Kackhaufen eines Online-Dienstes überhaupt noch nutze. Für was anderes nutze ich Facebook auch nicht. Und die App nutze ich ausschließlich hiermit, weil sonst läuft die im Hintergrund, frisst Strom und sendet mir nervige Benachrichtigungen, weil zwei Städte weiter Jochen seinen defekten Aufsitzmäher verkauft und das ja UNBEDINGT eine Benachrichtigung wert ist.
Hm, mein Kommentar ist zwischenzeitlich ein bisschen tiradig geworden, sorry Ü
Werde mich vielleicht tatsächlich an die BfDI wenden. Hatte ich eigentlich gar nicht vor, selbst wenn gar keine Reaktion kommt, weil keine Lust mich damit auseinander zu setzen. Aber Facebook geht mir mit seinem Verhalten, insbesondere im Support, so sehr auf den Sack, da werde ich das wohl doch mal tun.
Great little app if you like to have lots of apps installed but only occasionally use them. You pick some apps to put in the icebox, and you can press the FAB (or you can turn off your screen) and it'll automatically freeze them and hide them from the app drawer.
Icebox is great for that. For when you want to have an app on your phone but only want it to do something when you open it. Great for stuff you only need rarely. I also put Facebook in there because it's a snooping memory hog. You can place quick launch widgets for specific apps. That's what I did with FB. I can open it up quickly but otherwise it's all the way turned off.
Settings > Data Usage > Cellular Data Usage shows relevant info for me with PureNexus. When I find an app misbehaving I used to use Titanium to freeze it, but these days I enjoy the convenience of Ice Box.
Do you have root? If so you can freeze them with below app. You could also use tasker to automate it at 8am freeze and 4pm thaw.

What finally worked for me was freezing the magisk app (regardless if you're using the random package name feature or not) with Ice Box and then launching the game with wifi/data off and then turning it on again after the no internet warning message.
A bit of a pain in the ass but at least it works for now.
Fik det til at virke på samme måde som AL-Bank. Selv om din manager er "hidden" så kan de stadig se den. Mit gæt er at de tjekker efter pakker med tilfældigt genereret navne ("hide manager" funktionen installere bare app'en med et tilfældigt pakke navn).
Min løsning er at "freeze" Magisk manager med Ice Box. Man kan også bruge andre apps/metoder.
Hvis du hurtigt vil teste om det her virker så kan du bare afinstallere manager app'en. Hvis Sundhedskortet virker efter du har fjernet Magisk manager (og eventuelt ryddet cache og lager) så skal du bare:
Reboot (så du får magisk ikonet igen), tryk på magisk ikonet og installer manager igen.
"Hide manager" (på min telefon kan jeg ihvertfald ikke få magisk ind i Ice Box uden at "hide" den først).
Installer Ice Box, tilføj magisk, freeze magisk.
Du skal godt nok "unfreeze" den hver gang du vil bruge din manager, men det er vel heller så tit man gør det.
Ser det ikke som off-topic. Har ikke brugt Sundhedskortet før, men har lige hentet det. Med alt det jeg har gjort med min telefon så virkede det ikke lige med det samme, men det virkede efter jeg brugte Ice Box til at "freeze" Magisk Manager.
Det samme er nødvendigt for at få AL-Bank til at virke. De kan se Manager selvom den er "hidden". De tjekker højest sandsynligt bare om du har en pakke med et totalt tilfældigt navn. Så hvis du kan omdøbe din manager til noget mere fornuftigt (f.eks. Maggy) så burde det også virke.
Det ser dog ikke ud til at være et problem med MitID...
I used this app to freeze the Magisk Manager app and it worked. But I only tried it with the german Sparkasse Tan App, not sure if it works for you
Yes, same here. I am getting into the ADB commands, and I have just employed Ice Box by Ruoxin He (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.catchingnow.icebox) and it works really good. Just a note though, from personal experience, don't disable com.android.phone or you will not be able to use your phone. A dialogue will keep popping up.
In the free version we are limited to 10 frozen apps in the regular/default profile, but unlimited apps in the work profile when used in conjunction with Island (clone Ice Box there and voilà!).
Amazon-App mit Ice Box einfrieren. App bleibt installiert aber "eingefroren", d.h. läuft nicht im Hintergrund und es gibt keine Benachrichtigungen solange die App nicht zur Nutzung temporär "aufgetaut" wird.
Mache ich mit fast allen Apps so, bei denen ich nicht auf Benachrichtigungen oder Hintergrundaktivitäten angewiesen bin. So habe ich auch zig Apps installiert, die ich nur alle X Wochen/Monate brauche ohne dass sie meinen Akku im Hintergrund fressen oder Aktivitäten in anderen Apps überwachen (zB Facebook).
If you want but it needs root or device permission, you can check IceBox out, it freezes the app and it has tasker plugin, you can create shortcut to keep the app frozen for only when you need it, or lock your phone then the app also gets frozen,... many settings to play around. I have almoast all my apps blocked only the ones that need notification, for battery and ram management.

I've assumed you rooted.
​
Not relate to Tasker but I use Ice Box to do that + magisk system plugin + xposed module.
​
Magisk system plugin will help to defrost faster.
and Xposed module help to keep original icon in Launcher. (normally when you freeze application it will remove icon and need to create launcher icon to launch it again.
​
by the way Ice Box also supports Tasker as a plugin too!.

I am trying to create shortcut from ice box app but its not working.
Error message "unable to create shortcut from app".
Shortcut name: Quick start app
Wow didn't know about the tags. Way to go, now it IS perfect!. Didn't think you'd answer.
By cloud storage i meant meant group settings backup. I automate it with synchronize ultimate and tasker every week. Also somewhat thought about something like this app, but i think is outside the scope of the app
About autofreezing, i tried this app, but it only disables them, which i don't think is useful.
Also, thank YOU for being awesome!
I'm using Swipe, too. I'm disappointed with it as well.
I think I'm going to reinstall the official app and constrain it via Ice Box.
i am just trying to decide if it is worth it to lose root (forever? since we can't downgrade) and jump from 5.0.1
not like i use a TON of apps with root...main apps I use are battery-life based (Greenify, BetterBattery Stats, Wakelock Detector) or utility-based (CF.lumen, Ice Box, SD Maid)
CF.lumen and Ice Box are really the 2 I would currently miss the most.
my biggest concern is getting stuck on MM and having horrid battery life and not being able to do anything about it :(
(Ice Box is an app that basically freezes apps until you want to use them, upon which time you can just open them like they are in a folder and they then re-freeze when the screen is locked but work like normal after they are opened)
You'll need root and an app manager/freezer (I personally use Ice Box) to freeze System Update (com.oneplus.ota). Go to system apps and enable 'show hidden apps' or the equivalent and you'll see it.
Also i don't use gestures, because I find them quite buggy and super sensitive in MM.
I've been using Icebox recently and loving it. Now I can keep Facebook installed for the two times a week I have to use it!
IceBox lets you "freeze" (disable) apps and defrost them manually or using a shortcut from the launcher.
1) Check out Icebox: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.catchingnow.icebox&hl=en_GB
Icebox ?
If you are familiar with ADB, Icebox is the app you need.
Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but I use Ice Box
Icebox didn't help.
Try these they worked for my with MitID for me.

I use Ice Box. Very easy to setup. Disable both packages called "software update."
Since you already have root, you can use Ice Box to freeze apps you want, much better to freeze system apps than removing them.
Ice box(Root required).

This lets you freeze apps. So no more annoying notifications from apps that I hardly use.
Do you know how much different this is from Ice Box ? (LINK: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.catchingnow.icebox)
An interesting app that takes advantage of this is Ice Box Apps Freezer
Ice Box - Apps freezer works without root but requires manual setup
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.catchingnow.icebox
Can freeze and start app in a box.
I user this app when I see (or suspect) bad behavior.
Icebox does the work well

Jesus wtf
I'm glad that I don't get any notifications from either FB or messenger. I'm using this app to un-/freeze them automatically if I want to use them/close them
