I just deleted the Facebook app from my iPhone. I have no idea if it altered any of my contacts, but this certainly does scare me enough to warrant deletion.

- prodigal_erik 14y agoIf your HN contribution is nothing more than a catchy meme, you're gonna have a bad time. (So am I. I'm aware.)
- jrockway 14y agoMemes are fine, as long as they're amusing. The community has altered the posting guidelines. Pray we don't alter them any further.
- kmm 14y agoI wish I could do that. I wonder if Facebook paid HTC a lot of money to make the Facebook app un-uninstallable.
- LoneWolf 14y agoI have suggested this before on another thread and i'm not sure if you can do it on your phone but here it goes. Root it and use titanium backup to force uninstall, it's how I removed all the junk.
- californian 14y agoIf you go to Settings >> Accounts & Sync, can you at least uncheck "Sync Contacts" for Facebook?
- jarofgreen 14y agoOr just remove your Facebook login credentials entirely, thus rendering the app unable to do anything? (I don't have that exact model but I think this should work, no?)
- jarek 14y agoI have the Facebook app forced on my Nexus One (thanks, Google!) but I never logged in and it didn't touch my contacts as hoped.
- reustle 14y agoI rooted my HTC Evo just so I could "freeze" the facebook and sprint apps. I got a good amount of extra battery life by doing so.
