Facebook lite used to be my go to app . It uses less data. There were other problems but I still could manage them . But it's not cool anymore. it seems to use more data now and I can't enter if I sub a data bundle after using my free mode for the day. Also i think those updates were unnecessary. I have lost up to ten accounts to suspension even if I didn't do anything . The suspension is & disabling is my main problem 😩, and to think I was managing the app...this is a big disrespect to users.

The interface is better (cleaner, more visually appealing) than the full Facebook app, but it has issues. One of the biggest is that the "show most relevant first" option can be turned off in settings but the app still only displays a subset of comments, which can make it very frustrating and confusing when there's back and forth dialog in a thread of comments... they are out of order and maybe a third of the conversation is even visible. The post toggle for relevant vs all is missing entirely.

The notifications have gotten absurd. Everyday I get notifications about random stuff. Random content creators. which I never signed up for. over the past year, Everytime I get one of those notifications. I hit I don't want these notifications and report problems to the notification team. after a year this is still a regular problem. I'm pretty over it. I don't get these B's notifications from X or YouTube. Facebook used to be the example of social media, now it's a data hub.

I can't start typing a comment or post and then minimize the app and come back to it. it reverts to the home page and loses everything I was typing, even if I was on another page or looking at something in a group. It also does this if I lock the screen and set my phone down and come back. This makes the app completely unusable if you get interrupted. if you have a life outside of Facebook, use the regular app. If your device doesn't have enough resources for the full app, Meta hates you.

mostly ok, but features don't work as appropriate. When I click on my responses, if it's my original post, it won't do there, only if it's a comment on someone else's post. Makes it difficult to track responses accurately. I can be in the middle of posting/commenting and it suddenly bounces out of program. I will probably just uninstall it just use my desktop version.

I can't tell the difference between this and the normal FB app other than the look is a little bit different. I honestly don't know what is missing. The only things I don't like is that I can't move it from my phone's internal storage to the SD card and it doesn't stay a tiny app. It will eventually grow a little bit for "data" whatever that is. If I delete and reinstall it the data is gone but everything is the same. FB isn't the only app like that tho or the worst.
