What Has Facebook Done to My Phone?!


Recommended Posts

So the recent update to the Facebook app has added some real rubbish to my phone.

I now have a "camera" app to allow me to upload straight to Facebook. I also have a "Messenger" app to allow me to use Facebook chat.

I already have a camera app that I am happy with. Why can't the Facebook chat section be in the Facebook app?

Maybe uninstalling the Facebook app is the only way forward.

A friend told me it likes to read your messages and contacts info :( (N)

Wow, big deal. 2 apps that YOU PERSONALLY will never use. They can be hidden by any decent launcher app.

And FB likes to read your details? Well of course it does, it integrates with your contact list.

At least you Android guys can remove the Facebook application from your phone. Sigh.

Strangely not all Android phones can remove it unless rooted, some are baked in to the ROM itself from the carriers. Also regarding the camera app, it will let you tag people in the photos before uploading so it does serve a purpose when you are taking a photo that you plan on uploading.

They should be optional or able to be hidden by default launchers though :/
