I guess it's a good thing to know I'm not just the only one with this nonsense. My six plus went from 100-5% in less than seven hours with this nonsense. Are there any Facebook third party apps on iOS?View attachment 99249View attachment 99250
Safari and bookmark it
So I guess iOS doesn't have third party apps like android does. That's what I thought. Thanks
There is a couple like the one mentioned .. Have you tried deleting fb and reinstalling it ? That fixes the built up app size after a while also

I like Friendly+. I've had no issues with it. I've been using it for about 2 years. It has a built in ad blocker, which helps.

With the price it makes me wish there was a trial version to test it out first xd though thanks for sharing the link with me
The one thing I found in the past is that I need to make sure I logout of FB when using the FA APP. Also I don't use the FB setting in in the Settings menu. I found that in both cases and even when I had back ground refresh turned off it was still updating. Also by using the FB settings I was still logged in even when I logged out in the APP. All this does right off is I need to type in my FB password each time I use the APP.
It does have a free version. There's ads and no ad block feature though.

I reinstalled Facebook last week when I read the app had been update, but that was a huge mistake. I went from averaging about 9 hours of usage to 5 or 6, at best. This was literally in a matter of one days worth of use. When I went into the battery details lo and behold Facebook had skyrocketed to the top with 3 times as much background usage than on screen time. This is why background updates turned off on my iPhone. So clearly Facebook is circumventing any setting you may have and saying F you, I will run when and how I want. I went back to just logging in from Safari and calling it a day. It's a shame that such a huge corporation like Facebook can't get app development down.
I have my phone on low power mode so therefore background app refresh is COMPLETELY switched off and it is still doing this nonsense. It's ridiculous. 1.8 hours screen on time and 2.2 hours background in the last 24 hours. I'm getting fed up of this nonsense View attachment 99480
