There are many apps that slow down the Android operating system, however one of the worst is Facebook. It is not a personal judgement, but in fact the shared experience of various users on Reddit. These users have measured the device performance both with the Facebook app installed and without, and the results are plain and simple!
After analyzing their mobiles with a benchmark app, users have identified that by having Facebook installed on their Android, their device takes longer to open and close other applications than usual while making the system performance slower in general:
Here you can clearly see that mobile devices run 15% faster when Facebook and Messenger is uninstalled.
But, why does Facebook slow down Android performance? In another thread on Reddit regarding the internal programming of the app, it mentions that the app’s updates are usually very complex, and they are implemented without revising and fixing previous issues. That could certainly make a lot of sense!
