The official Facebook app gives Android users more than a headache: it is obviously poorly optimized and so full of features that it is a real "brick" even on the most recent terminals with a lot of RAM and many cores in the processor, without neglecting the high battery consumption due to its constant presence in memory.
How to give up the official Facebook app without giving up the blue social network? Here is the guide for you: let's see together the best alternatives to the official app.
First alternative: use a browser
The first alternative is to use a browser: it will certainly be much more responsive than the official app!
In the latest version, the Google browser has added support for notifications from web pages on Android, very useful function to immediately know who tags us in the social network. Very welcome additional feature: via the Web you can read and send messages without going through Facebook Messenger, one less app in auto-start.
If we are not interested in notifications (which we remember can be configured via email) we can try to use a lightweight browser only for Facebook! Here are the best ones to try on Android:
- Firefox
- CM Browser
- Lightning Browser
- Browser Opera Mini beta
Second alternative: unofficial apps
If you still want to have a dedicated app for Facebook, here it is the best third-party alternatives made to be read on any android device.
The best ones to try for Android are:
- Facebook Lite (external APK)
- Faster Social Lite
- Fast – Social App
- Mini For Facebook
- Super Lite for F B(Speed)
