Facebook App

iPhone still out perform Android especially on battery wise. loving my iphone 5s

Yes - standby time is ridiculously good especially. The whole experience is very smooth. That's probably the only reason I even noticed that Facebook's browser was sluggish - nothing else is!

Something has to be at the top! What difference does it make what it is? It shows what you use most. If you use something enough, it's going to use battery, including Safari!

Yes we all know something has to be at the top. That's not my primary. It's that the FB app jumps to the top after minimal use in comparison to other apps. That's just my experience though...

Did you try turning off location services and background app refresh for Facebook? Also, turning off Auto Video Play in the Facebook Settings helps a lot.

All that stuff is off. FB has been a notoriously naughty app on both iOS and Android. Nothing new to see there.

If it's at the top, you might look at how much time you spend on Facebook. I spend about 10 to 15 minutes per day there, but it never comes close to the top.

Try the paper app, it is made by the same guys that did the Facebook app, but this time they got it right.

I usually just use the Facebook to read some articles and to be remembered about birthdays, so it works like a charm.
it is waaaay better.

Try Friendly+. I like it. Takes a bit to get used to it, but it's nice.
Friendly+ with AdBlock by Friendly App Studio

There's a free version too.

It's a Facebook client app. It shows Facebook. You can have multiple accounts on it and color themes.

I have Flipboard app which can do this

I've switched to bookmarklets as well. Facebook is out of control in regards to idle times regardless if you uncheck notifications

What is bookmarklet?

What is bookmarklet?

It's a bookmark that sits on your screen like an app. These are bookmarklets:


None of these are apps. They are bookmarklets. You create them in Safari from the share options.

No it doesn't. It's not the same thing.

I want to second the love for Paper. It's faster, cleaner and i like being able to have my tech news and my facebook separate.

My only complaint is that if someone sends me a video via message I can't view it on Paper and would have to use the browser to see the video. Other than that, it's a great app.

First, congratulations on your iPhone. Second, the Facebook app never works great, so I'm not sure there is anything you can do--besides let their support know.

Facebook apps sucks on iPhone it's slow and lots of lag all the time

The app works fine except for the browser thing where news articles are shown. But that's true everywhere, including Twitter. The app is ok. It's the Facebook company I dislike.

I've tried Paper and it's really cool. Just don't care for the fact that I can't just see my Facebook feed by most recent.
