Yes, My Iphone 11 Pro Max "SOMETIMES" heats up with Facebook as well, I force close it and it cools. I have tried rebooting, uninstall/reinstall but once in awhile it gets pretty warm and i "think" it drains the battery as well.

Same here on iPhone XR (12.4.1) the last 2 updates have done this. I do not recall any other version of Facebook doing this, ever.

Yes, the latest one especially is too terrible
And it drains the battery so fast

I have noticed the last two FB updates are complete battery hogs. Use it roughly 1 hour a day. And it is now the 2nd highest use of my battery life it was the 4th.

Same happens to me too. No problems with the other apps from Facebook, but this one is really bad. I’ve switched back to friendly.

Same here. Can't say I've ever noticed any of my iPhones ever heating up until yesterday mine got rather hot while on Facebook.

Earlier on, this forum promoted an app called lockdown, which works like a system-wide ad-blocker. I am using it, and find that it speeds up my iPhone 8+ fairly significantly (which just goes to show how many trackers are in effect at all times).

You might want to try the app out, and see if it improves your Facebook browsing experience any.
