I am sick and tired of Facebook/Messenger taking up valuable space on my phone!!! 😡

<insert snarky iPhone joke here>

But in all seriousness, I feel you. I had a dinky Android (back in Froyo days), which came with FB. Couldn’t delete it. No biggie.

Until all the preinstalled apps updated and eventually chewed through the phone’s very meager storage space.

To work around this, I had to make a custom image that removed those preinstalled apps. I also had to do some pretty hacky things with the SD card to keep the phone usable (because apps would refuse to install to the giant SD card instead of the cramped internal partition).

I think modern Android is less stupid about where apps get installed, but you’ll still need to root it to get the preinstalled crap off it.

then don't use Facebook/Messenger 😂

@Aditya007 I wildcard block Facebook domains on my laptop!

Then delete it? Let me introduce you to mbasic.facebook.com which should wean you off the site.

Uninstall that bullshit

Messenger Lite. Just the messenger, none of the bloaty features.

I am using Metal for Facebook and Twitter now. It has been a relief. 😌
