FACEBOOK'S official mobile app is slowing down smartphones and draining battery life, according to reports.

If you do one thing today, you might want to delete Facebook from your Android smartphone

If you have the Facebook app installed on your smartphone, you might want to consider deleting it.
The hugely-successful smartphone app has been hit with controversy this week after a number of reports showed the app drained battery life and slowed phones.
Tests revealed that when Facebook is installed, Android smartphones can run up to 15 per cent slower.
Facebook fans discussed the impact of the US social network's app on Reddit, with one user publishing a chart to show the drain caused by the Android app.
The user's test involved launching 15 popular apps in succession.
Each app loaded significantly faster when Facebook wasn't installed on the same smartphone.

Reddit user pbrandes_eth was so shocked by the performance issues he uninstalled Facebook, posting: "So yeah, I think that settles it for me... I am joining the browser-app camp for now."
"Messenger seems to be worse than FB," pbrandes_eth has claimed. "Both apps individually caused a slow-down of roughly 5% in the test."
In order to perform the test and measure the impact of Facebook and Facebook Messenger, the prominent Redditor used an app called DiscoMark.

You better go get better battery than looking for the N200 ones :-/

So it took u dis long to realise dat U didn't also realise it drains battery because it uses d Internet always and as such is always running and for low ram devices slows dem down. . Jus use d new opera mini for ur Facebook and activate notifications if u need to. Saves u battery, data and frees up ur ram.

I've known about this for a very long time. . .
I can't even recall the last time I use the s*******d app.

I'd advice you use Facebook Lite... It's a facebook app too but uses less data, consumes less space and it has almost all features of the real facebook app...
