Uninstall or do not uninstall the Facebook app on your phone? – Observer

Users of Facebook on your smartphone go to get more and more upset with the onslaughts of Mark Zuckerberg’s company to oblige to install Messenger to “talk” with friends – a standalone application of social network, heavier and consumes more battery. Hence, the internet is being flooded with advice on what to do: one is simply uninstall the app Facebook and instead use only the version of web . “Do not fall into the trap,” says the Spanish newspaper El Confidencial, advancing six reasons to uninstall the application and instead use only Facebook via Safari or Chrome.



Farewell to the Messenger

Getting rid of once the requirement to join the Messenger is just one of the benefits most mentioned by advising the use www.facebook.com version on your phone, rather than the application downloaded from the Apple Store or Google Play Store . Thus, permanently avoided receiving warnings that “their conversations will be moved to the Messenger” and that “soon will only be able to see your messages from Messenger.” That is, whether you want to or not to install the app, you have to do

 messenger

it is true that those who have had reluctance to migrate Facebook chat conversations for the autonomous application of Messenger, try the company already is doing since 2014, it does so for a reason: it is a heavier application, takes up more space on device storage, and consumes more battery.

However, for what we have been testing this access web will no longer be viable in the short term. As a service to exchange increasingly popular posts (900 million users), the Messenger application installation will eventually be inevitable if wanted to continue to communicate out there.

Given this, and to keep good mobile performance, we recommend that:

  • if user iPhone or iPad and have little storage space (16 GB or less ), you uninstall both applications regularly to clean the temporary files that these will saving.
  • if your smartphone running the system Android , delete the temporary files periodically by option available in the settings (store cleanup.) – in this case it is not necessary to uninstall the app

Save battery

the Facebook application consumes a lot of battery, in part because the videos that play automatically and geolocation services that are used in parallel. A reporter from the Guardian has even take the test, uninstalling the app and going for a week to Facebook via Safari and could save up to 15% of the iPhone battery.

In the user web version only see videos shared on the network by clicking to see, since, unlike what happens in the app (if you have Wi-Fi), have autoplay.

no bugs

like any app, the Facebook application is not free from faults and technical errors. Recently the social network admitted to have done an experiment to reduce the effectiveness of Android in accordance with the intention to test the extent to which irritated users. Using Facebook in Safari or another browser there are no problems of these.



No notifications

It may be an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on the addiction degree in link to this social network. It is true that using the application every user can disable the notifications to be alerted whenever it receives a new comment or “like”, but if access to Facebook is done directly by the site , this issue is not down.
