That is nothing. My facebook on my 4 is taking up 2.8gb while fb is only suppose to be 124mb app... So fb eats a total of 2.9gb and I'm trying to figure out another method other than deleting the app
Bug or feature that is beneficial to FB?
Ah well, I refuse to let FB have an app on my phone. I just don't trust them with an app on my phone. Their mobile website works just as well.
Nope, the op is referring to documents and data. It's there in my ios device today. Fb takes up 166MB and the documents and data increases the more I use it tk the point I have to delete it and reinstall it.

Yeah right, that's no bug
Actually, that's when it was last resurrected. The original thread was from 2011. *sigh*
No, you didn't need to post. You can use the information, but thats not what you did. You contradicted someone and said they were wrong. Its not being negative, its just not needed.
Pointing out a fact, i.e., you resurrected an old thread, is not negativity.
Facts are neither negative or positive. How we respond to facts is where being negative or positive comes in to play.
You responded to this fact (you resurrecting an old thread) being pointed out to you with an admonishment.
So who is really being negative here?
I felt I did need to post. The statement made was wrong. I corrected it. It may help people who had a similar issue to me.
[doublepost=1485056512][/doublepost]Seeing as neither comment added anything to the post and only served to show their displeasure at an old post being ressurected, as it was put. I'd have to stick with my first answer,

Your time here is going to be quite interesting. Nothing we said was negative. If I didn't post it was a 2.5 year old thread others may have come in trying to help the OP. Also you are posting information on an outdated thread. So 2.5-6 years ago when the thread was original created the part you quoted might have been correct.
Additionally I must point out for a second time. Nothing you said is helpful to others. You said no it's not a bug.
I was referring to my first comment and not the second. I'd have to point out that your opinion is just that, your opinion, you speak for yourself and nobody else...so who knows...I found some of the information helpful 2.5 - 6 years later maybe someone else will.
And nothing you said was negative.
And nothing you said was negative.
So now you are contradicting yourself? I posted it was a 2.5 year old thread. Someone said it was actually 6 years old. Then you said "stop being so negative."
So your confused because you said you didn't say I was being negative but I pointed out that you did? Hmm. Again your time here will be interesting. For the record I'm a stickler for logical fallancy.
This might help you, ..
You don't have to delete the fb app and reinstall it to reduce the amount of storage the app uses. Simply log out of your account in the fb app, close the app in the app switcher then relaunch it and log back in again. You should now have gained back any excessive storage space the app has been using.
I do this this every few weeks to prevent the size of the fb app growing out of control, and it's less extreme than deleting the app and reinstalling.
Cheers
