I wouldn't have FB on my phone if you paid me, but I know many do.

This doesn't surprise me at all tbh. There seems to be a 40Mb update every other day and god knows what crap it leaves behind. I noticed a difference on the new phone that it seemed slower after setting it up once I installed Facebook.

A new not needed non noticeable update every 2-3 days, the last one kept crashing the app

Uninstall it and run it in whichever browser you use on your phone. All it does is use up resources and battery. One less app to track you as well, which I'm sure FB does incessantly.

You may (or not) be surprised to know that currently, the FB app on Android is 235mb !
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

That's huge! I certainly wouldn't want an app hogging all that space.

To be honest I use it a lot, well, messanger mostly but it isn't really giving me problems on any device and they work fast enough for my needs.
