                  Great, less reasons to root our devices.

                  However, I'll miss the triumphant feel of deleting Facebook :(

                    BAD news?!! Are we talking about the preinstalled LOCKED app from Facebook that CANNOT be uninstalled, only disabled? And they're finally going to get released of that?

                    This is probably the first good news Huawei heard in a while.

                      that's a good thing though. Forcing facebook apps and can't delete it (only disabling it) sucks. I hope android comes like this.

                        Finally some good news for Huawei...

U can always using browser to access facebook, and there are many 3rd party FB apk installer that u can get from. Heck u can even push installed the apk itself if u want to.

                              I'd love some OEM to look at this matter and realize that these preinstalled "××××" are not giving us freedom. Android should be flexible. That is why we end up rooting our devices

                                I've never loved Facebook inc. Only app I use from their inc. is WhatsApp and not the official 1. So I don't care about their service. Bought p30 lite on Monday to replace my A9. I wished the Facebook saga started with P30 series

                                      i hate facebook as well, but i have to admit that i also use its services alot because many of the people i correspond with uses it. so, i guess it is a bummer for me. i currently do not own a huawei handset but has been planning to get one prior to this escalation of its spat with the united states. as the days go by it looks like it will be better to steer clear of huawei.
