"Facebook is a versatile social platform that connects friends and family, offering a wide range of features from messaging to photo sharing. The user interface is intuitive, and the constant updates keep it fresh. However, the app can be resource-intensive, occasionally slowing down my device. Privacy concerns and frequent ads are also drawbacks. Overall, it's a great tool for staying connected but could benefit from optimization and improved privacy measures.

i really love fblite bcs u can use it more often when I don't have data than fb. but the privacy is alarming bcs when u log out the acc and don't save the pass. and then I log in again it doesn't ask the password anymore which is alarming. bcs what if we logged in other devices, and it just automatically logged in even u didn't save the password.

The app is good everything seems to work right but since I'd been updated for a few times it's start, when you want to play video it doesn't.... when you want to chat on messages sometimes it takes time. Everything seems slowly nowadays really slow, something must be done & now I must update again ...no guys PLEASE DO SOMETHING !!!
