I mean, Facebook is a quarter of a gigabyte for God knows what reason. Many apps are similar. There’s a reason the base capacity is 64 GB: apps keep getting bigger.
However, the cellular size limit is now 250 MB IIRC, so Facebook seems to stay just under that.
- sond813 6y agoIt's 200mb now before a prompt shows warning users of the size they are about to download.
- nicoburns 6y agoIndeed! Our app (a shift management app) at work is ~20mb, and I felt like that was quite a big commitment to expect people to have on their phones!
- eigenvector 6y agoThe base capacity is 64 GB now, but lots of phones of 32 GB and even 16 are still usable (the original iPhone SE, for instance, was sold in a 16 GB version and runs the latest iOS). These older phones are way more common outside of the US and even just outside of the SFBA where not everyone buys a new $1000+ phone every 2 years.
