Agreed. I have deleted Facebook app from my phone and it has been great since then. I feel like I waste less time scrolling through meaningless feed of pictures, posts and ads algorithmically crafted to be as addictive as possible.
I have also stopped using the main FB website. I only use messenger.com to talk to my friends but no need to go to the main website anymore.
The only reason why I haven't deleted my FB account completely yet is because I got a lot of pictures on FB and haven't found a convenient way to export them yet. So I might keep my FB account just as free cloud storage for my pictures, that's all.
- lode 9y ago> haven't found a convenient way to export them yet Click the triangle on the right in the menu bar, and go to Settings. Under "General - General Account Settings" there's a light-grey link that takes you to "Download a copy of your Facebook data". From there you can request an archive of your profile. It doesn't include all the 'shadow profile' info they keep of you, but it gives you and easy way to download all of your photos at once, easy to import in your photo management app. EDIT: I've just done a fresh export of my profile, and it seems that sadly the photos don't get exported at full resolution, so this might not be the best option if FB is your primary photo storage at the moment.
- richardknop 9y agoI see. Not sure what I would use as alternative way of managing my photos though. I don't like using the Photos app on my MacBook as it is too clunky. I'd like to have a single website which is just like the photo albums part of FB minus the whole social network. That would be ideal.
