I wish I was joking mate. Here's a screenshot of my dev console.. I've sent two emails to Google already. It's kind of ridiculous as the free version has already seen 2 updates in the time I've been waiting for Pro to release.
Obligatory Swipe for Facebook link: <strong>Swipe for Facebook</strong>
Currently organizing a way to be able to provide the Pro APK to Pro users. Will be back to edit this comment in a bit.
Edit: Seems the PMing code thing works best. Here's my solution: So I've got maybe 100 codes to spare that I can give away for the Pro Key in the free version of Swipe (the one where you can do an in-app purchase to unlock pro). For previous pro users, if you can find the receipt email when you purchased Swipe Pro and PM me your order number, I'll PM you a code. It should look something like this: GPA.3375-4381-5814-78494
Edit 2: Okay, it's like 1:30 AM here in Thailand now. Going to have to go to bed soon. Will just do my last inbox check and will be back to PM those codes in the morning!
You can use 3rd party Facebook apps. Try Swipe for Facebook - very data and permissions friendly, and chat works through it too, negates the need for Messenger.
You could also use Swipe for Facebook, I didn't get any of the battery drain and I could check my messages in the app.
Unfortunately, Facebook is now actively blocking private messaging in the mobile web version. Nowadays to get full functionality you need to either:
I use swipe for facebook which is a wrapper of the browser site. It feels like an official app if you are just into basic facebook stuff.

there's your problem: you're using every trashy app from Facebook that are causing havoc to your phone. uninstall Facebook (completely or disable FB related packages) and Messenger and use these alternatives:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.mlite
I just use Swipe, which is a nice wrapper around the mobile site with better responsiveness, push notification support, etc.
if anybody's on Android and encountering this issue, check out Swipe for Facebook. it's basically a wrapper for the mobile website that makes it a lot easier to navigate and you don't have to deal with Messenger. the dev is a Redditor, as well.
I know this is basically tooting my own horn, but check out Swipe for Facebook. It's got Material Design 2, fully customizable themes (literally setting colors to specific elements), Chat Heads, and a fully functional widget - among other things.
Then come visit r/swipeforfacebook. ��
unfortunately i can't relate as i don't use the facebook app or an s7, but i recommend swipe for facebook as an alternative
I noticed a huge improvement when I switched to Swipe for Facebook. The official Facebook app is a notoriously bad battery draining resource hog. I uninstalled the official app months ago and never looked back.
Give Swipe for Facebook a try. I have a couple or three different workarounds under the "Messaging Client" setting that helps prevent exactly this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
You may want to delete the official facebook app(s) to save your battery life, try the app Swipe instead.
The official apps eat up a surprising amount of processing power and battery life (90% sure it's spying related) all in the background, you don't even need to open it up.
Hello sir. Have you had a chance to listen to the word and gospel of our Lord and savior, Swipe for Facebook?
Swipe for Facebook? Not open source, but it works and looks great. Been using it for a while and haven't had any password reset issues.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
Use Swipe Pro, for Facebook. Check it out. There's also a pro version.
Use Swipe for Facebook to access facebook. It's a wrapper for the mobile site and is designed well, handles notifications and doesn't use system resources that much. In the settings for the app you can select your messenger client to be the messenger app. Try it out, it's free for most features. I purchase pro tho cause the dev is awesome and constantly updates with new features!
I have used many custom Roms and kernels in the past, and that definitely helped, but right now I am actually on stock DP5. I do have Snapchat installed, and instead of the official Facebook app I use Swipe for Facebook. Other than that I don't really do anything else to keep it running smooth, I guess I just got lucky.
Swipe for Facebook is absolutely fantastic. Pro version here.
For those looking...the facebook app needs to die in a fire
edot: getting downvoted for this is fucking weird
If you want, try out the Swipe for Facebook app. Very active developer. Battery life is amazing with it, and its very liteweight.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
You might like it, you might not. See if it works better for you.
Swipe for Facebook, as already suggested or FB Lite
Facebook and Messenger are not optimized as they should be. If you don't mind losing video call capabilities and chat heads. You could use Facebook Lite and Messenger Lite. Or better yet you might want to look into "Swipe for Facebook" app.
It's not necessarily the phones fault, it's just that apps like Facebook are heavy on resources (which also hurts battery life). While using your phone regularly the apps are running on the background to provide the user with it's multiple features etc.
Wish I could help you further but I am almost certain that it's the apps you use simultaneously that bog down performance. Don't feel too bad, other phones take punishment from these apps as well. Just google (Facebook messenger making phone slow).
Best of luck to you.
I tried quite a few Facebook apps a few months ago, and those are the ones I liked best:
I'd consider myself a heavy Messenger user: I have chat heads open most of the time, heavily use group chats, colored chats, nicknames, etc., and I couldn't find any app in feature-parity with Messenger. Therefore, my current setup is Face Slim to replace the Facebook app + Messenger for chats.
I use swipe for Facebook and it's awesome. It's almost like the Facebook website, but in app form and you don't have all of the stock Facebook bloat.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
Honestly, I'd recommend just deleting the official app and going with Swipe. Offers way more control over sync frequency, looks better than the official app, and doesn't spy on you. Honestly, at this point, it's pretty much better than the actual FB app in every way.
FB is asking too much permissions and is using too much data.
It makes me uninstall it, now I use SWIPE
MInus is you lost notifications, we can easely deal with it :)
I use Swipe and Messenger lite (not available in the Play Store) apps for my Facebook needs. Your battery, wakelocks and memory will thank you.
Edit: Swipe
Messenger Lite apkmirror.ccom
I recommend switching to a 3rd party app like Swipe for Facebook. Older UI, but its much cleaner than the official app and not as memory-intensive. It doesn't force you to get the messenger app too, since the message function is preserved. Plus, its free.
Is this the app you're referring to?
Regardless, I'll keep the suggestion in mind. It sounds like a good idea.
when you open the app to have a level of security like a pin or pattern unlock.
hand your phone to someone, dont want them going through your reddit have the app password protected.
swipe for facebook has the option, stops people going into my facebook account if they're on my phone, just wondering if something similar would be implemented with slide
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree&hl=en
Most of them don't do much. Greenify will force stop apps once you stop using them so they won't use much background memory, but most apps don't use enough background RAM to drain your battery. I used it for a while and it really didn't have much of an impact, even sometimes seemed like I got worse battery life.
I'd advise using alternatives to some social network apps that use less memory then official apps. Like using Swipe Pro rather than the official Facebook app which is a huge battery hog.
Swipe: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree&hl=en
Package disabler apps are good too to stop apps you don't even use from turning on in the background and using memory for no reason. I personally use EZ Package Disabler as it's the best designed of them all. This is only if you have a Samsung phone.

You can use the ****book.com/?sk=h_chr bookmark for desktop, and if you have Android, Swipe for Facebook opens most recent by default, I believe, for mobile.
Instead of Facebook's official app, have you tried Swipe for Facebook? It's an unofficial wrapper app for Facebook that's so much more efficient than the official one. It's incredible.
Cool! Thanks for the recommendation.
I haven't installed it yet because Swipe's Google Play description mentions exactly what I needed:
https://mbasic.facebook.com !!!!!
That site is an even more stripped down version of the Facebook mobile site that retains the ability to send private messages!!!
Have you tried Swipe for Facebook? The DEV updates it a couple times a week and has pledged to work around this messenger nonsense every time it happens.
I've never experienced issues as drastic as what you're describing, but FB has always been a major battery drain for me across multiple devices. I recently downloaded Swipe for Facebook and haven't looked back.
The application was requested for shutdown by facebook itself. I don't think it's coming back. The link for the app with 1mil downloads was this, which shows you that the file cannot be found on google play right now.
Ooo, and Tinfoil is available on F-Droid too, even better.
I've been using Swipe for Facebook for a while now, because it has some messenger support and a dark theme, but I'm jumping ship now.
try Swipe for Facebook and Messenger Lite instead.
Swipe for Facebook is basically a wrapper for Facebook that uses less battery than Facebook app. You can also just use the messenger as you would on the website instead of having to use Facebook Messenger app.
How about notifications from messages? I use Swipe which is a Facebook Lite app which basically is a wrapper for the desktop version. But every time I try and use a different messenger I don't ever get the Notifications properly.
Edit: Swipe
Swipe for Facebook is my app of choice. Lightweight, quick and the developer is pretty responsive too.
nu numai pe ios si e un cacat de interfata. Daca stiti alternative strict pt mesagerie sa ziceti.
Exemplu: Swipe in loc de app Facebook e giugiuc https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree&hl=en
I replaced the Facebook app with something called Swipe. I believe the developer shared it on r/Android early on, and that's how I found it. I liked it enough that I went on to buy the pro version. It's the best non-official Facebook app I've found. It doesn't quite have the fit/finish of the normal app, but it's about eight tenths of the way there.
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
There are a few apps that will let you use messages through the browser. Not as nice as the Messenger app but this is what I use so I don't have to install Messenger, and it's a little nicer than mbasic (though that's a good tip too): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
I've personally found Swipe to be much faster and lighter than Facebook, as the official Facebook app is bloated to incredible amounts. If you're looking for a light, fast, and lots of customization features, then Swipe is right for you.
There is also a free version, so you can always try that out first to see if it's right for you. Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree&hl=en
Just wanted to add links plus some other stuff.
If you have issues with an "install messenger" pop-up, go into Settings and under "Messaging Client", select the option that says "Desktop User Agent".
Feel free to ask any questions here or on r/swipeforfacebook :)
I have disabled the Facebook app and have been using Swipe Pro and love it. Facebook is a known battery drainer.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
So much this!
That developer has been so responsive, active and I never felt like the ads were as forced as they were on Slide, Sync or others I've used.
I paid for this app to support the dev. I gladly support active devs in this community who update regularly.
I've never used this app myself since I don't use Facebook, but I've seen nothing but praise for it on /r/Android so you might want to give Swipe for Facebook a try.
I recently switched to Swipe for Facebook--it's a wrapper app but honestly I like it even better than the official app. It has a lot of great options--give it a shot!
Check out Swipe for Facebook - it's got fantastic UX and beautiful UI, while maintaining all the bells and whistles of the official app. Lightweight (2.5 MB), customizable (dark themes), and highly battery efficient (~5-10x more than the official app). And yes, you can even swipe between tabs. It's still new, but it's so much better than the other wrapper style apps.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
No more pro codes, unfortunately. But please do try the free version here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
Outside of Quiet Hours and a few extra UI customization options, there are practically no differences functionally, so you get the complete experience off the bat! :)

Swipe for Facebook goes on sale/free quite often. It's a great Facebook wrapper and can hide ads.
I use Swipe for Facebook. It is light, is customizable and seems to block the sponsored crap. It also includes messenger. Disclaimer: I use facebook very little on mobile and mostly just browse, so I might have missed some features that are not available or don't work correctly.
Swipe for Facebook And Messenger Lite have made my minimal Facebook usage somewhat manageable.
I know, Facebook indeed uses a lot of battery.. That's why I have been using Swipe for Facebook for quite a while. It's just a web-wrapper, but a decent one at that
I will suggest to uninstall Facebook and messenger app and install "Swipe for Facebook"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
Swipe app has both Facebook & Messenger in it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
It's a browser wrapper app, so won't eat through your battery constantly checking for notifications. I thought android pie was supposed to prevent the battery being torn up by apps like this but it seems this isn't the case.
Swipe is definitely the best Facebook alternative I've found, doesn't use up a ton of my phone's memory or anything like that and I can still check Facebook easier than using a web browser
It's not Whatsapp for sure. Pretty sure (like 99% sure) it's garbage messenger.
If you want, try out an alt app like swipe for facebook, it's the main fb app and has messenger in it. See if it re-installs it. Also try not to download thise stickers and emojis I know FB chat has.
Try Swipe instead. I've never installed any of the Facebook apps and this or other reskinned versions of facebook have always done a good enough job for what I need. It allows you to view and send messages like the mobile site used to.
Just use an app like Friendly for iOS or Swipe for Facebook (Android).
Uses much less battery/resources than the official app AND Messenger support is built in instead of using a separate app.
I don't think you have to go as far as deleting Facebook. Just unfollow all your friends and family. It's fine as a communication tool, and you're likely to miss some events if you stop using it.
Other ways to rein it in:
FB works fine on chome on android for me... I've never installed the Facebook app.
There are also seperate, third party facebook apps like Swipe
Use a 3rd party Facebook client like Friendly for iOS or Swipe for Android. They have built in messenger support in the same app and they are a lot less crappy than the official Facebook main app (way less intrusive on location permissions and such than the official app and way less of battery hogs than the official app).
Use a third party app like Friendly on iOS or Swipe for Facebook. They drain way less battery than the official app, invade your privacy (permissions) less, and include messenger support in one app.
Excellent app, and is not a battery hog like the original. Cons: it doesn't have all the nice features the original has, and takes some effort learning to use it. My J7's battery lasts 3 days thanks to these.
Hey man, that'll do. Thanks for writing in and for your continued support in Swipe. It's great to be back, but I'm so sorry for all this confusion and hassle. Here's what you gotta do.
Here's the code: 9PGF6U9UCM38A2ERN3W5KLP
Hope that helps. Enjoy! :)
Honestly, the posts telling you to uninstall it might seem trollish but... they're not. I recommend using Swipe or some other app that has Messenger support.
If you're on Android, a popular app is Swipe. It's free, but you can pay a dollar or two to upgrade, which unlocks more colour themes, disables ads, and a few other minor tweaks
If you are on Android, get an app called Swipe For Facebook
You get to keep all functions of Facebook in a sleek thin package that uses very little to no resources when the app is closed, doesn't send location and such to Facebook when not in use, you can still upload pics, still make posts, you can even theme it to make everything pitch black so its better for battery life and your eyes (or what ever way you want), and you do not have to have the messaging app as well as the Facebook app. Been using it since it came out, paid for the paid version - that's how much I like it.
Everytime I use Facebook I always end up on uninstalling eventually and then using one of the many Facebook light apps available on the Play Store. Swipe was my go-to until recently but I just finally started using Simple because I like the way it integrates the messaging into the app. You're still able to see when the people you're talking to are online.
I personally use Swipe for Facebook, and Messenger Lite for any Messenger needs. It's seemingly better, the same app, all without the bloat^^besides ^^stickers
~~Edit: Apologies if the Messenger Lite link isn't the right one. For some reason, my school has APK Mirror blocked but not Reddit~~
Edit 2: I fixed the link for Messenger Lite
Try Swipe for Facebook - very data and permissions friendly, and chat works through it too, negates the need for Messenger.
If you want an alternative to the facebook app, Swipe for Facebook is really good. In addition to the lack of privacy concerns, the interface (in my opinion) is far better, and the developers are very active and respond quickly to any issues.
Check out Swipe for Facebook. I haven't used it much, but it's supposed to be lighter and I've heard good things.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
If you'd still like to use Facebook you can do so using Chrome or this app, I would recommend Chrome unless you don't like using more data then you need to. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
If it gets unbearable, I recommend trying Swipe for Facebook. Pro version is currently 50% off during holiday season.
Swipe is an app you can use instead of Facebook. It has a ton of settings so you can choose how often you get status updates (or you can turn off all updates). There's also a lot of features of changing the look of the app. I personally think it displays pictures weird but you'll have to try it to see what I'm talking about.
Still, I think it's totally worth switching to because of the battery saving.
You can try Swipe for Facebook, it's a wrapper for the facebook mobile site but lets you access messages (even in multiple ways). It also has many features added and the developer is a great one and it's very active! I bought the Pro version and haven't regret it, it's absolutely worth it.
I'd recommend a nice wrap, instead. Messenger is just as bad as the main FB app.
I use Swipe for Facebook and really like it.

If you still want facebook on your phone, you can always use one of the alternative web wrapper apps. I personally use Swipe, and it's an alright substitute. It takes some getting used to, but I'll deal if it gives me back my battery life.
Edit: Swipe
If you for some reason want to use Facebook, I would recommend Swipe for Facebook available for Android. It is a web page wrapper that uses less resources and does not murder your battery.
Dev for <strong>Swipe for Facebook</strong> here. Give it a try! Always open for questions here, r/swipeforfacebook and via feedback through the app. :)
@/u/CA53Y Or even better, use a Facebook web wrapper app. Swipe for Facebook is relatively young, but has become popular very quickly. It looks and feels like the official app. (Just ignore my language setting ��)
There's also a Pro version which offers additional options and themes.
Why are you wiping your cache daily? That's most likely what's causing your issue.
Also uninstall Facebook and use something like Swipe for Facebook. The Facebook app is known to impact battery and performance.
Which app can you not seem to find? Facebook Messenger? Or Swipe for Facebook, because if it's Swipe, I linked it in my earlier comment (click where it says: Swipe for Facebook).
Edit: Here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree&hl=en
You can't compare iOS apps battery usage with Android and then blame the OS. The apps may look the same to you but they're actually completely different apps, coded in different languages by different teams and work differently on the inside.
Unfortunately some companies like Facebook are better at making iOS apps, which is why you'll find that iOS apps can be a lot more polished. It has nothing to do with the OS, but with companies favoring iOS more than Android.
Anyway, I'd recommend trying out an alternative Facebook client on Android, such as Swipe.
Better way is to uninstall Facebook.
Then get Swipe https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
Oh my god I am an idiot. Here it is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
Hey there! Swipe dev here, and first and foremost, here's a warm welcome to Android! How have you been enjoying it so far?
As u/HumbleEngineerl mentioned already, the official Facebook is a big source of controversy, with the general consensus being that it is incredibly battery hungry, huge on resources like RAM and storage (caches can grow up to 1GB+), and is a source of wakelocks as it is constantly tracking your location.
With that in mind, the Facebook's mobile website is actually quite feature-packed, delivering pretty much almost all the functionality that the Facebook app has to offer, while consuming substantially less power and data compared to the original app. The only caveat here is that you don't really have a dedicated app for it, and will pretty much have to rely on a browser bookmark to access Facebook. This is where wrapper apps come to play, with app offerings like Metal, Folio, and Swipe. Wrapper apps basically 'wrap' the Facebook mobile website in a native app interface that is much more at-home in Android, as they try to incorporate Material Design elements in their UI. Using these 'wrapper' apps, you get the best of both worlds – an app that looks and feels like it was built with the Android ecosystem in mind, while also bringing all the benefits that the mobile version has to offer. An added bonus is that these wrapper apps are never more than ~5MB.
Swipe is just one of these apps, but it's also quite new and is still heavily under development with updates being pushed out daily (sometimes more) with feature updates, bug fixes, and performance optimizations – but what makes it different, as u/HumbleEngineer had already mentioned, is that it is the only one of the bunch that actually incorporates a lot of the official Facebook app's design patterns, trying to bring the best optimizations in data, performance, and battery with an interface that is very familiar to anyone that's used Facebook. I've put a lot of work into the UX and UI in Swipe, as well as all the other customizations and settings, and I think that's what sets it apart.
Of course, this is all very subjective, but I do welcome you to try Swipe. As a sort of welcome present, just send me a PM and I'll get you a voucher code that you can redeem in the Play Store to get the Pro version of Swipe for free. I've got a feeling you may just like the Facebook iOS 'theme' in there. No harm in giving it a shot. :)
Here are the relevant links by the way:
Again, a very warm welcome to Android, and outside of Swipe for Facebook, I'd recommend you checking out the following apps
Native Clipboard - for universal copy and paste
Nova Launcher - for unlimited launcher customizability
Apps - Play Store Link - for when you want to sort the Play Store for only apps, and not games (Google bundles both together in the same category)
Flyperlink - as an alternative browser for opening external links (you'll have to try it to understand the concept)
Edit:
Shuttle - how could I forget? Best Music Player on Android :)
Edit 2: Seriously guys, I offered the code to u/Sixoul as a welcome present to the ecosystem. I am not currently hosting a giveaway. I really appreciate the support, but please try not to hijack this thread. I'll have another giveaway another time!
Swipe for Facebook is fairly popular around here.

You could try Swipe
Swipe for Facebook seems to work best for me.
swipe is a Facebook app that's a nice wrapper without any of the battery drain and bs
Switch to Swipe.
Swipe has FB messaging functionality and won't eat your battery.
could be Swipe
You know what will help the most? Getting rid of the Facebook app. If you still need to facebook, download facebook lite and facebook messenger lite. Alternatively, you can download Swipe.
There are reports that this will save you as much as 20% of your battery life.
Also, if you pm me a screenshot of your battery page, I can probably help a bit. You're probably on Marshmellow, so there are a number of other things you can probably do- but the biggest is probably facebook.
Give the free version a shot and let me know. I'd love to hear your thoughts. :)

Swipe is definitely the best imo.
Delete Facebook. It's a horrible horrible application. Use Swipe.
Swipe for Facebook has the messenger with it.
So is this only with the official app? What about lite apps like Swipe?
Check out Swipe for Facebook
Here it is. I've been using it for a few weeks now, it's faster and better than the official facebook app
I use Swipe for facebook. Miles better. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
Alternativ kann man auch auf Swipe umsteigen. Die Batterie dankt's einem auch.

Bot linked Swipe Fast for Facebook which is NOT Swipe for Facebook.
Obligatory use Swipe comment.
Look no further
I use Swipe for the same reason.
I saw an article on it a while ago, I'll google. Results coming back in a minute
Facebook ran an experiment intentionally crashing their app to test loyalty The Verge source
As for spying, there are sources saying It doesn't and sources saying It might. Either way, I'd still use a third party client just to be sure, there is no harm in it anyway. I personally use Swipe
FYI; Swipe and Friendly add an icon to the OS share option.
Folio, Tinfoil and Metal also do but depending on the app you're sharing from.
Something new: SlimSocial
Facebook lite and Messenger lite might be worth considering for some people. Facebook lite APK and Messenger lite APK if you can't install it from the Play store.
Edit: Added links.
Edit: Fixed what/how things share description.
Dude get Swipe
Yeah, I meant a third party app. Has like all fb features (messages etc) but like...live video recording or something?
I use this one. It doesn't have ads, I think. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree&hl=en

I have no idea how Metal is with ads (I'm using pro version of Swipe). When I tried the free versions awhile back comparing apps I was/am using adaway as an adblocker so....I have no idea what the normal experience of apps is like. Side note, opera mini and opera (full) has ad blocker built in it now. Just random fyi if you hate ads too. You can benefit from that even without rooting. They have different gui layouts in settings if you dislike the default one (I use the tablet one for quickest tab switching).

Any gsm carrier in the US (ATT, Tmobile, etc) is just plug and play. The same goes for Verizon/Sprint. Most other phones don't let you do this with CDMA carriers like VZW/Sprint.
I recommend Helium backup if you have a pc/mac on hand. If your s2 is rooted I recommend using Titanium backup although I have never used it for it's backup utilities.
I know there are some really good spreadsheets on this but I don't have any links. I recommend the FAQ
I don't know about how far these go back but my most used apps on my 6P are:
>Swipe for Facebook because the normal app drains battery
>Phonograph for local music libraries (takes advantage of material design)
>Sync for reddit (my favorite material reddit client)
>Most of the phones basic functions are just the stock apps from google
You don't need to use bootstrap on the 6P as it's factory unlock able. All you need to do are enable a setting in the developer options, boot to the bootloader, and issue a command from your pc/mac. Here is a great guide on how to do all of that in further detail than I can go into.
Personally I have found that staying either stock or stock with root has been the most stable for me. Now that the android N beta is out I highly recommend checking that out too. All you need to do is enroll your device here and accept the ota on the phone (note: you do need to be running stock without root or anything to do the ota)
The best part about the 6P for rooting/unlocking is that no exploits are needed.
This is in many ways miles better than the Facebook app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
Swipe for Facebook by far the best ��
You're welcome!
Swipe for Facebook, very good.

On Android you can replace the Facebook app with a wrapper app to stop things like this

Check out Swipe for Facebook
Swipe was pretty good when I used Facebook.
I used swipe when I still had Facebook
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
It's a 3rd party Facebook app. Here's a link. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree

This app lets you browse by most recent posts and removes all the clutter facebook pushes at you.
There are plenty of options that let you have a bearable Facebook experience without having to deal with the mess that is the official app.
Swipe For Facebook is an excellent app which codes the mobile website in a pretty customizable UI and also lets you chat with other people without having to download a separate app.
Facebook Lite is an official app meant to be used in developing country; it's incredibly lightweight and since its debut it has steadily improved. If you were one of those people that ditched it because of its initial lack of funtionality you might want to give it another chance.
Messenger Lite is another official app meant for developing countries, perfect if you only need the chat functionality and don't care about 9gag memes or Candy Crush invites.

A lot of Android Facebook skins have messages working. I personally use Swipe and really like it for the rare occasion I need to use Facebook.
Swipe and Friendly add an icon to the OS share option.

Here's a similar report from BGR that won't negatively impact your IQ for reading it.
Edit: The post on Reddit of one user's anecdotal experience, which he tracked using a fair amount of detail.
Edit 1: Here's the source report from AndroidCentral that all the others seem to be "reporting on". They're a fairly well respected source in the Android community.
Edit 2: Shameless plug for the app I use as a replacement, Swype for Facebook.
Uninstalled it, installed swipe, because frankly sometimes it's useful to go on

My first workaround involved using www.messenger.com, but as many know, the website sucks. You can't upload photos, typing is laggy, and the website is just a pain in the ass to use. "Desktop User Agent" is a new workaround for m.facebook.com/messages , which should remove the "Install Messenger" prompt. The Messaging Client setting allows you to select what client to access Messages, the default, a Desktop User Agent, www.messenger.com, or the Messenger App. Simply choose one of the Messaging Client options that works for you, and in combination with Optimize Messages for Chat, you should be able now uninstall Messenger if you wish. :) > >Other Notification Tweaks The option to select your notification tone, turn on/off the notification LED, and notification vibration have all been added. > >Location Access Due to very popular demand, location access has been added.

Absolutely no problem mate. I totally understand. You can however try the free version at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
No functional limits. It's as good as the Pro version, aside from the notification filtering, quiet hours, and themes. :)
They did a great job, now only if they did the same thing to the main Facebook app but for now we can enjoy Swipe for Facebook, there is also a pro version of Swipe for Facebook which is a seperate app and not just an unlocker for the free version
Melhor do que o Facebook Lite,na minha opinião, é o Swipe. Rápido, econômico, leve e o hatch mais vendido em 2016.

You guys absolutely rock, and Swipe wouldn't be where it's at today (almost 50K downloads in ~20 days) without the help of each and every one of you. > >For the uninitiated, Swipe for Facebook is a new wrapper-style Facebook app replacement I've developed that emphasizes highly on fantastic UX and gorgeous UI.

You'll feel it. > >Obligatory link to Play Store > > > >I promised in my previous post that I'd be back with more updates, and with even more promo codes, so here I am with both. Version 3.0 has been a really big step forward for Swipe, and a lot of development hours had gone into improving every aspect I can about it, so without further ado, here are the highlights: > >if you don't see the update yet, clear the Play Store's cache. > >A new, yet familiar icon >With all the votes and feedback everyone had left through the app, the new icon is now the official icon. It retains all the design cues of the old icon, with a more material feel. > >The FASTEST theme injection engine EVER (I dare you to prove otherwise) >I've gotten a lot of feedback on the white flashes and the double blue bars when using themes, so I've been working really hard on this. Themes are now injected 10-20 times faster than in previous versions of Swipe and in similar wrapper apps. You'll never ever have to see another white flash or that double blue (okay, maybe a 1% chance). No hocus pocus magic here, no hacky delays in showing content - just pure optimization. It's seriously that fast. > >Automatic DayNight Theming >As promised in a previous update, Swipe now has automatic DayNight Theming. Simply select your 'night hours' (default is 6PM-6AM) and switch on Night Theme, and Swipe should automatically switch themes during selected hours. > >Material Design Injection (Pro) >Want to see what Facebook might have looked like in the hands of our Lord and Savior, Duarte? Now you can! > >An inspired, redesigned overflow menu >A custom overflow menu built completely from scratch, it resembles Chrome's overflow menu a lot, including quick actions that matter most for the user, along with all the other items from before. > >Fingerprint Authentication >Another promised feature from before, Fingerprint authentication is now supported for those on Android M and up. The implementation is built straight into the current implementation of PIN Security Lock so that no extra steps are required. Emphasis on UX and UI, I think it's sweet. Check it out yourself. :) > >Bookmarks >Swipe in from the right edge to access your bookmarks. Here, you can save your most favorite / visited pages for quicker access. Keep track of the stuff that matters most to you. > >Selectable Text (BETA) >Introducing a brand new feature never seen before in other wrapper apps, the mobile website, or on the official Facebook app itself: Long-press text from comments, posts, or messages to select and copy! > >App Translations >Thanks to the fantastic hard work of those that helped translate all my string files, Swipe is now available in 15 different languages - English, French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Italian, Polish, Greek, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, Croatian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Vietnamese > >Stability Improvements and RAM Usage >I'm happy to say that while all these features have been added into Swipe, it still runs as smooth as it used to and does not take any more RAM or battery than it did before (maybe 2-3 more MB when using DayNight Theming).

I wish I could get one to each and every one of you, but unfortunately Google only lets me have so many (like 500 every 3 months - I've used 450). But anyway, I'd like to thank everyone again for participating and if you'd still like to give Swipe a shot, the Free version is just as capable as the Pro version, with no sacrifices in performance whatsoever. All you're missing is quiet hours, a few color themes, and a material design injection, so you aren't really losing out on a lot! If you'd like to support development though, it's only $3 and I would really appreciate it!. Thanks again r/Android . You guys have been amazing as always! <3 > >Edit 2: Screenshots of the Pro "Material Injection" http://imgur.com/a/cRU46
>At the risk of alienating everyone in this subreddit, it's me again! :) > >As with last time, I'd like to extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone in this subrredit and on r/AndroidApps for the success of my last post here, and for the AMAZING feedback and support I've gotten for Swipe for Facebook. You guys absolutely rock, and Swipe wouldn't be where it's at today (almost 50K downloads in ~20 days) without the help of each and every one of you. > >For the uninitiated, Swipe for Facebook is a new wrapper-style Facebook app replacement I've developed that emphasizes highly on fantastic UX and gorgeous UI. It combines both the lightweight and power-efficient qualities of other mobile wrappers with a gorgeous UI much like that of the original Facebook app. It's (very subjectively) better in every single way. You'll feel it. > >Obligatory link to Play Store > > > >I promised in my previous post that I'd be back with more updates, and with even more promo codes, so here I am with both. Version 3.0 has been a really big step forward for Swipe, and a lot of development hours had gone into improving every aspect I can about it, so without further ado, here are the highlights: > >if you don't see the update yet, clear the Play Store's cache. > >A new, yet familiar icon >With all the votes and feedback everyone had left through the app, the new icon is now the official icon. It retains all the design cues of the old icon, with a more material feel. > >The FASTEST theme injection engine EVER (I dare you to prove otherwise) >I've gotten a lot of feedback on the white flashes and the double blue bars when using themes, so I've been working really hard on this. Themes are now injected 10-20 times faster than in previous versions of Swipe and in similar wrapper apps. You'll never ever have to see another white flash or that double blue (okay, maybe a 1% chance). No hocus pocus magic here, no hacky delays in showing content - just pure optimization. It's seriously that fast. > >Automatic DayNight Theming >As promised in a previous update, Swipe now has automatic DayNight Theming. Simply select your 'night hours' (default is 6PM-6AM) and switch on Night Theme, and Swipe should automatically switch themes during selected hours. > >Material Design Injection (Pro) >Want to see what Facebook might have looked like in the hands of our Lord and Savior, Duarte? Now you can! > >An inspired, redesigned overflow menu >A custom overflow menu built completely from scratch, it resembles Chrome's overflow menu a lot, including quick actions that matter most for the user, along with all the other items from before. > >Fingerprint Authentication >Another promised feature from before, Fingerprint authentication is now supported for those on Android M and up. The implementation is built straight into the current implementation of PIN Security Lock so that no extra steps are required. Emphasis on UX and UI, I think it's sweet. Check it out yourself. :) > >Bookmarks >Swipe in from the right edge to access your bookmarks. Here, you can save your most favorite / visited pages for quicker access. Keep track of the stuff that matters most to you. > >Selectable Text (BETA) >Introducing a brand new feature never seen before in other wrapper apps, the mobile website, or on the official Facebook app itself: Long-press text from comments, posts, or messages to select and copy! > >App Translations >Thanks to the fantastic hard work of those that helped translate all my string files, Swipe is now available in 15 different languages - English, French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Italian, Polish, Greek, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, Croatian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Vietnamese > >Stability Improvements and RAM Usage >I'm happy to say that while all these features have been added into Swipe, it still runs as smooth as it used to and does not take any more RAM or battery than it did before (maybe 2-3 more MB when using DayNight Theming). I've also improved Swipe's RAM Management - this means better sustained RAM performance over long periods of time. > > > >For those of you who have just been watching, who haven't entirely made a jump yet due to some issues previously, here are some other additions between 2.0.0 and 2.3.3 > >>Messages Fix & Workaround >>As many of you may know, Facebook is heavily trying to push Messenger onto its users to the point that some already cannot access Messages on the mobile site.

No more pro codes, unfortunately. But please do try the free version here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
Outside of Quiet Hours and a few extra UI customization options, there are practically no differences functionally, so you get the complete experience off the bat! :)

Check out Swipe for Facebook - it's got fantastic UX and beautiful UI, while maintaining all the bells and whistles of the official app. Lightweight (2.5 MB), customizable (dark themes), and highly battery efficient (~5-10x more than the official app). And yes, you can even swipe between tabs. It's still new, but it's so much better than the other wrapper style apps.

Yeah I don't like the icon at all... Maybe you could use something simpler... like the facebook "like" icon

I'm very aware Swipe was pulled from the Play Store for NEW installs. Here is the link for the non pro version Swipe for Facebook
Here is the link for the pro version Swipe Pro for Facebook
If you install an app from the Play Store and it's removed by the dev.... It's still accessible.
If Frost works better 🤷🏾♂️.
I use the app <strong>Swipe for Facebook</strong>: no battery use at all. And a nice added feature it lets me finger print protect my facebook: login-by-fingerprint
I recommend Swipe for Facebook. Best Facebook wrapper that I've come across.

Nici eu nu am, pur si simplu am intrat de pe browser. Iti recomand totusi sa incerci Swipe.
Stop.Using.Facebook's.Apps. Swipe solves your problems.
Just use swipe to message and use facebook, and disable facebook ASAP. Your phone will thank you for it.
