Very good news if fakebook no longer pre-installed..

    Anonymous, 11 Jun 2019ADB only hide apps like app disabler it doesn’t remove app ... moreNo it went on a Bootloop for some other reason , I didnt even have the chance to run the phone after the root , it said the warranty is gone and your phone can't be trusted anymore

      Can user download from Google play store?

        I wonder if anyone on this planet still uses FackeBook and FaceBook related apps anymoe??????
        If yes, then why? Aren't all those data breaches and scandals not enough to stop using 'em????

          it's a pity.. Huawei had to be a Chinese brand.

                I wonder if it's really needed to have Facebook as a preinstalled app if they don't offer something for ex. 30 days premium. I think everyone knows that Facebook in China is banned and outside of China you can just download them to your phone or otherwise how can Facebook collect download counts /s

                  Anonymous, 10 Jun 2019Now this is a WIN for huawei. Fk preinstallef apps and bloat!100% agree; this actually makes Huawei handsets more attractive in my opinion. Facebook has been caught before using its mobile apps to harvest data without user permission or sign-in - kill it with fire.

                          Maybe Huawei is not willing to to let US government spy over people who using Huawei phone? Not giving secret holes to their system like facebook, twitter, apple and other do?

                                as long as you have an app that can share APKs (hello ShareIt) this isn't a problem.
