According to this, Facebook was 32 MBs 4 years ago.
It's similar with Twitter.
It's their fault that they keep adding stuff to track you. And Facebook contains just about every library that has ever existed now.
- pavlakoos 9y agoBut now Facebook mobile app is a different tech. It's ReactNative, not Obj-C, right?
- jaxondu 9y agoReact Native under the hood uses Obj-C to bridge to native Cocoa frameworks. For example when you uses a <View> tag in JavaScript, it ends up calling iOS UIView.
- pavlakoos 9y agoStill, it's not the very same tech. Especially in this discussion, where we are talking about apps performance and languages, which need to get under the hood instead of talking directly with the engine, are presented as "worse".
- LeoNatan25 9y agoOnly a tiny fraction of the Facebook app is actually RN. Messenger uses none of it for performance reasons.
- pavlakoos 9y agoHuh? Isn't Facebook advertising their main app as no.1 use case of ReactNative?
- LeoNatan25 9y agoAdvertising is one thing, reality is different. The main, performant views are native. Some of the esoteric stuff is RN.
