Good riddance, Facebook.

Doesn't anyone just access it via safari instead of the app?

Yes I do it's the best way, you can also message thru Safari and eliminate the messenger app. Battery life went up amazing. I just put a shortcut on home screen.

Ah okay. It's always been known as a battery hog. I stopped using it a long time ago. Glad to see others are doing that.

It never used anything like it did in the past 2 days. It's insane currently. Back in the days it would only use 3%ish battery when I don't open it. I don't know what they're spying on me recently.

Facebook just released v42.0, I wonder if it solves the drain

We'll see, but don't hold your breath. Very irritating that they never post the change log for their updates.

View attachment 594803 I hope it's for battery fix, otherwise look! Almost as much as Netflix.

Wel, for someone that could just mean they have been using the app a lot in the past 24 hours. Now if they actually haven't been using it a lot, that's a different story.

I've only used it sporadically. 67% is a lot.

Yes, in that case it's a lot. You can also tap on any app name in that section to see the actual on screen time and background time to get a better idea of the usage.

Yes, I'm aware of that. 51 minute usage. 1.3 hour in the background.

They used to post the change log up until v20 I think..
