don't have Facebook on your phone?
better yet, don't have Facebook?
zero sympathy for anyone caught in this, you've all been warned for at least a decade on what supporting Facebook means, why get upset about this now?
I don't have many pictures of myself on my own phone. Most pictures of me are on the phones of the people who took them.
Problem is if you have family on other countries most use WhatsApp for everything, it’s hard for some to not have any Meta app.
My mom has facebook and also has my photos.
Unless we can get EVERYONE to respect each others' privacy, arsoning meta ceo until next one gets scared is the only option.
I always wonder why people like him are still casually strolling around while being the personified evil for 20+ years. It sure is evidence that Karma doesn't exist.
The LAST thing I'd do with my mobile phone is install Facebook or Instagram. What a nightmare.
I still use Facebook (many friends and relatives still there) but only through the web browser. Never ever install an app if you can help it. FB has tried to make the web version worse and worse in the mobile browser, though, to try to force people to use the app. Comment input boxes got janky and now chat is impossible unless you check "desktop site". These things worked fine a couple years ago.
Unless you run a custom ROM, like LineageOS or GrapheneOS, you most probably have some Meta apps installed at system level.
This is Meta Services, as a system app which can only be disabled, on my work Samsung.
