Facebook makes smartphones more slowly and eats the battery is empty. What many have long suspected, the Gurardian-Redakteuer Samuel Gibbs now seems to have shown a self-experiment. But there is also good news: No one needs the Facebook app.
With my current phone, an LG G Flex 2, I get two days deal with one battery charge usually. And I'm not one for hours hanging around in chat apps and also not need to photograph everything I run every day on the road. I also do not think in terms of usage, but back. Regular listening to music is mandatory as well as the daily news reading on the way to and from work. Speaking of work: Since I need the part of course constantly.
Facebook sucks the battery is empty
But what I do not definitely have on your smartphone, is Facebook. The social network, which become now the most popular app in the world, traveling has never interested me much. Status updates of my friends I get if I need them because, after work on the PC - and probably that's a good thing. For as a self-test of the Guardian editor Samuel Gibbs shows is at the Facebook app namely pretty much around the worst battery and power absorbing units that can be installed on his smartphone. In short: If you install Facebook on their device, the battery, the juice goes out much faster and also suffers from the performance.
This is of course unpleasant and it does not speak necessarily for the talent of competent Facebook programmers, but it is not a scandal. Programs eat now time resources and these resources are called on the smartphone power and computing capacity and come from battery, processor and memory. Since the Facebook app is almost continuously at work to receive all the news and updates in real time on the phone, it naturally uses a lot of it.
The app veiled their hunger for resources
Presumably, the resource consumption of the app could with a few technical tricks, programmed nevertheless significantly limit. But as already mentioned neither in app form in the desktop view Facebook in the past noticed by a particularly clean programming. After all, however, the programmers seem to be creative, because according to Samuel Gibbs they manage to conceal the battery consumption of the Facebook app pretty good Android. Thus emerged the app itself in the battery usage overview Although often not among the worst culprits on. But it should be driven by processes in the background battery usage of other smartphone services noticeably higher.
However, all the excitement of little help. In principle, it is namely at each even, to put an end to the Facebook app on your smartphone. There are finally enough clean programmed applications, why should one be having trouble with such a stinker? The consequent reaction would be that Facebook app easy to uninstall.
renounce on Facebook without sacrificing
Here you have time as I do and go completely renounce the social network, it is not. In principle, it is enough, the app rauszuwerfen and Facebook stat its use in the web browser. Oddly enough to significantly resource-saving run than the app itself, the browser version. Use the bookmark function of the browser you can create a comfortable shortcut to homepage www.facebook.com and this put on your homescreen.
Another alternative is a wrapper such as metal. It is a third-party app that provides full access to Facebook with all functions. They should also significantly less battery and power resources than the Facebook app itself. Why this is so and why Facebook does not get on the series itself will probably remain for the time being a secret known only to Facebook developers themselves.
The Facebook app is on
So Facebook makes the smartphone slowly and can bleed the battery faster. That is the price we pay currently for mobile use of the social network. With a little bit around the corner thinking and a minimum absence of convenience, but everyone can do something about it. The seller himself sees it, of course, prefer it if we use the official app. But honestly, Facebook: If you want us to use your app, simply provides better quality.
