The lightweight alternative to browse Facebook
It is no secret that the official Facebook application is not the best-designed app for mobile devices. This tool takes up a lot of space, is slow, consumes data galore, and drains your battery, which led them to even launch a lite version with fewer utilities. However, this tool by Happening Studios offers a light alternative with the same functions as the official app and even a few more, including many customization possibilities.
Lightweight Facebook for you
Swipe for Facebook has a robust system that integrates the official Facebook and Messenger apps into one so that they consume much less resources. It also offers customizable color themes to change appearance and design, and even a night mode, for when you want to snoop around your contacts' stuff late at night.
Why choose your privacy or an incredible user experience when you can have both?
Besides, the app also has three customizable widgets and an ad blocker that lets you even ignore the annoying Facebook sponsored content. And if you are worried about your security, the developers of this tool tell us that no data is stored here, everything is stored on Facebook servers.
Moreover, you can set hours during which you do not want to receive notification, download photos and videos, put a security lock... In short: this app offers more utilities than the official Facebook application for much less.
Requirements and additional information:
- Minimum operating system requirements: Android 4.4.
- Offers in-app purchases.
