Exactly. I removed FB from my mobile devices for just this reason.

    You can use adb to uninstall apps like FB and Chrome in a few minutes, with your phone connected to a computer https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/ https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatwa...

      > This works because applications truly aren’t being fully uninstalled from the device, they are just being uninstalled for the current user

        If it's not running and doesn't send you notifications or demand updates, do you care all that much?
        • dbdjfjrjvebd 8y ago
          In many ways no. NB the same can be achieved by disabling the App in settings? There is the principal of who owns the device... But that is a slightly different topic.

    Disable it in app settings, that effectively uninstalls it.

      I used this method on my friends'/family phones where I can't just flash an AOSP-based ROM. That will change now that I found out about debloating through ADB.

      Disabling is better than nothing, but it's no substitute for actually uninstalling.
