Ratings and reviews

As someone who doesn't use Facebook, but still uses messenger to talk to family, this is perfect. It's not taking up a bunch of space, and while it doesn't run great, its a legacy version of fb meant for older phones, so no, of course its not going to run as smooth. The issues are to be as expected.

I have Lite because the original used a lot of data in the background, which was messing with my conmection. Notifications rarely work for me; it doesn't let me share (repost) statuses unless I go to their profile and find it; and the app refreshes randomly for no reason (I recommend using a separate app for long statuses/comments so you don't lose what you wrote). Messenger does works in here without needing a separate app, which is great news after the discontinuation of Messenger Lite.

Takes forever to load recently, despite being a lite version. App refreshes on its own, typically when I'm reading something. Maps links in marketplace always read as "unsupported link". I have to go between the app and Chrome to get some sort of functionality. No, I'm not installing the full version or messenger, I tried that and it practically took over my phone. Lastly, it seems most of the content on FB and IG is stolen from TT, complete with eniltire fake accounts from creators.
