    According to the Play store app is incompatible with all of my devices, they really want you to use this on crappy phones don't they?

            its just simpler to use facebook from the browser than loading a bunch of half baked featureless apps

                  viveksubhash, 03 Oct 2016what is wrong with facebook?? or with people in general?? i... moreBecause that way they can't collect as much personal data as they would want to, so it's not going to be a standard. I'm not using their apps, just mobile website. Works much better and the battery lasts much longer. Messenger is a fail, 2 separate apps for one thing. Joke.

                                Metal for Android is the best and lightest alternative for the Facebook.

                                    Just check the Facebook website once or twice daily and disable any Facebook app you may have installed. Your life will be much happier and productive.

                                      what is wrong with facebook?? or with people in general?? if they can make a lighter version of facebook, why not make it the standard version?

                                        Marc Aurel, 03 Oct 2016Facebook lite still isn't officially available in my countr... moreobviously it would work, the most trustable apk website is "apk mirror". Also just in case i would reccomend scanning it with virus total. just what i do with all apks before installing.
