Facebook it is present on most mobile devices. For a long time, Facebook's mobile apps have been very bad, and despite an improvement in the last period they remain very heavy and resource-hungry. The bad situation has worsened further since Facebook decided to force its users to use the Messenger app to chat.
For a long time, users have circumvented the problem by simply using the mobile site, but recently Facebook has closed this path too. So let's see what alternatives Android users have to avoid installing two applications and one double battery consumption.
Le alternative a Messenger
We published a solution a few days ago, a modified Facebook app with the old comfortable and complete chat inside.
Another even lighter solution for your devices and batteries is touse of alternative clients.
Facebook itself has created a lightweight alternative to its client, called Facebook Lite, initially intended for developing countries. Over time it has become a compelling alternative for many users.
Facebook Lite it weighs a few megs, it can work even in 2g, it is very park on the battery having a very essential graphic interface and, moreover, it has integrated chat. Facebook lite has been available for some time on the Android Play Store for free.
Find Facebook lite in the latest beta also on apk mirror.
In addition, there are some alternative clients that work by integrating the mobile site into an interface more similar to the classic one and unblock the chat.
Another great alternative is represented by Metal, a light and complete app. Metal not only supports the well-known social network but also Twitter.
Facebook supports the chat, and all the main features, mainly flaws in the management of photos which is not comparable to the counterpart present in the official client. The app, however, weighs less than 3 mb and is really sparing in consumption.
Found Metal on the play store. There is also a pro version.
Another similar and very interesting app is Swipe for Facebook which works in a very similar way to Metal but with a better interface and the possibility of having a dark theme, and basically has the same flaws.
Trovate Swipe for Facebook sul play store.
