protip: switch to browser-based FB. it's perfectly reasonable.

And, you can still access messages by selecting "Request desktop version" from the Chrome menu.

This is faster than the app for me. My main problems with the app are a) it was pre installed so can't be moved to SD card, b) not only does the app include a snapchat clone I don't use, but it stores 100s MBs of user data too, c) it tells me I have messages, but that requires more 100s MBs to read in another app with another 100 features I don't use.

Didn't know about this one, thanks. That's an extra 300MB free on my phone from removing Messenger.

This no longer works for me, YMMV.

And the permissions aren't as nuts.
