Facebook taking up 2.2gb on my iPhone 6

Paper

Have you guys tried PAPER? Its made by facebook, but maybe is better on memory then the dedicated app?

I use facebook rarely, but when I tried paper, I thought it was pretty sweet.

Paper works great. Better interface, and messenger is built in. The FB app is a memory/battery guzzler.

This battery doctor app is crazy. I went from 1.9gb available to 6.1gb, and I've even taken a few pics and videos. After running it a few times I now have more available space than used. Starting to worry about what it's actually deleting. But the phone is running great.

Yep. I'm at 180mb now. Much better than 2.2gb. But it would be nice to know how to quickly clean it without deleting the app. Any ideas?

Well, how many friends do you have? How many people, sites, celebs or anything related to your wall do you follow? Every time they put up content in terms of pictures and videos, that'll probably cache. Although the Facebook app is terribly coded along with everything related to Facebook, that you might just want to use the mobile site instead.

The Twitter app also does this, by the time i remember to do the delete/reinstall proceedure it's nearly up to 2GB.

If you can somehow deal with it i would very much recommend deleting the Facebook app. Not only does it take up a lot of space after only a short time (and a lot of your time also) but it also is a horrible battery hog, especially but not only if you have background location enabled for it.
