The guys at Facebook have always had problems with their application in all the ecosystems in which it is available. A few months ago, Facebook released an update for iOS, an update that caused the battery of our iPhone to evaporate, even if we deactivated the execution in the background, since it was automatically activated again. The operation on Android is not much better than the iOS ecosystem and to prove it the guys from TWZ have run a test for 10 months and in which they have verified how the Facebook application consumes up to 20% more battery by making sporadic use of it.
But this happy application, not only affects the battery life, but also it also seriously affects the performance of our terminalDue precisely to how poorly designed it is and that the application periodically scans our terminal looking for information to be able to guide the happy advertising of the platform, necessary advertising to be able to use this social network. The most curious thing of all is that the Facebook application does not appear among the applications that the energy management panel of our device shows us in Android, but in those that shows us elements in the background.
One of the solutions that we have always suggested when it comes to saving battery while being informed through Facebook, is use web service, that although it is not as optimized as we would like, it is the best solution to be able to stretch the battery life of our device beyond the limitations offered by the badly optimized Facebook application, something that does not seem to worry developers, since they know of the dependence of many users on this social network.
I have to be honest, about a month ago I uninstalled the application in question due to lack of storage and I could notice an increase in the performance of my smartphone in general, not only in the battery
