The advertising and fake stories from non friends drive me nuts! I block them but they just never go away. I see more of them than threads from my actual friends. Also the popping sound when you respond can't be turned off. It never did this till FB updated the app. For those reasons I hardly go on FB anymore. It reminds me of other social media platforms that I stopped using that have fizzled out.

"Never autoplay videos" setting doesn't do anything. It ALWAYS autoplays the next video. ALWAYS. And the little button on screen to stop it from autoplaying is so tiny, that it's nearly impossible to press consistently. Facebook has been embracing "hostile user interfaces" of late.

Hey, trying to setup Facebook on a new phone. The app gets stuck the screen where it wants a phone number. You already have my number. It says we gavevthat number already. And the skip button won't work. Same for the add a new email screen. You have both my email address already. The skip button won't work. So Facebook won't be on my new phone. I'll have to use it only at home on my older phones.
