If you think about it though, Facebook is many apps in one. It's a marketplace app, a social media app, a videos app, a specialty camera app... the list goes on. Sure, you can call them 'features', but for other businesses these would be entire products. Everyone complained when messenger was rolled out into its own app (now Facebook wants me to download two apps??), so maybe the size is justified. I don't personally use every feature, but I'm glad that I don't have to switch apps to use marketplace and live videos, both of which I use quite frequently.
- hackujin 8y agoYea.... no thanks. It doesn't even have vital social features like looking up a past event (because pictures). I tend to have to use the website. I uninstalled the Android app and now I just use the mobile website in a browser. I do have messenger installed cause that's what I actually use.
- nitwit005 8y agoI downloaded Facebook lite and I never noticed the lack of any of those things. I doubt most people will. The overwhelming usage is text posts, or adding photos and videos.
- ilovecaching 8y agoWell, I think it's easy to get caught up in our own use cases. There are massive user bases in other countries who rely on things like marketplace to buy and sell goods in a safe manner.
- nitwit005 8y agoEvidently, Facebook doesn't think most people need marketplace either, given that they didn't include it in the lite version.
