Oh man screw everything about Facebook apps. They are a battery drain like all hell when going to fb.com in Chrome is just as good. That said, less facebook has never made my life worse. And what better way to browse Hubski than through an exercise bike, right? ;)
I've been telling people it's Google's iPhone 3G - that device that delivers exactly what you're expecting, with zero drama, zero surprises and total competence. The 3G was basically the best iPhone Apple ever made; it's all been downhill from there. Having messed with a 5X, a 6P, a 6, a Galaxy 4, a Galaxy 5 and a OnePlus, I would rank them thusly: 1) Pixel 2) OnePlus One 3) 5X 4) 6P 5) 6 6) wait this just got dumb
You aren't kidding. Phone off charger from 8am to 1am yesterday and didn't even hit my low power mode (15%). I'm used to having to recharge at like 6pm. This is criminal. All this time I kind of thought the 5X was just kind of a piece of shit. How is this not more well known?!
it's so bad. i've been trying to use different apps so i'll give metal a shot
My primary use of Facebook is as a chatroom for clubs/boards at this rate. kb had suggested Metal for those who actually use Fb, but for anyone who uses it mostly for chat then third party apps are muchanging nicer and less of a battery drain. I read there were a few preferred ones, and Disa.im works suitably for my needs.
Disa apparently works with multiple platforms which I also can't find a definitive list online either for.... Checking the app on my phone right now says Facebook, text, WhatsApp, and 'Third Party Plugins' that you have to search for. This article is what I used to find the app, if you're interested. It has 3 other alternatives to Fb chat.
Holy nuts. Didn't even know it was that old until y'all brought it up. I would have used it a while ago if I knew about it. I'd assume it's more polished in this iteration. That said, Disa can be a bit janky at times with simple things like not opening the app when I click the notification and ordering the messages in reverse chronology (that's just my own peeve, not a bug... just a feature!). But, on the whole, it serves its purpose for me reliably, and I'm happy with that alone.
