Yeah, first thing to do on an Android phone is to use adb or something like the universal debloater to uninstall (besides the Facebook app) crap like: com.facebook.system, com.facebook.appmanager, and com.facebook.services.
Description of the latter from the uad list:
Facebook Services is a tool that lets you manage different Facebook services automatically using your Android device. In particular, the tool focuses on searching for nearby shops and establishments based on your interests.
Why is this even always running on a pristine Samsung, etc. phone? Creepy.
It isn’t nice to use though.
You select your picture then when you need to add more you’ve got to go back into the settings for that app and select the picture. Then add the picture you selected.
I’m grateful though. We would have called meta malware back when.
The built in camera roll widget lets you edit what pictures are allowed without going to settings. Maybe it’s a new change or the apps you use have a custom photo picker, I dunno.
I try to use web versions of everything (fb, insta, x). If it’s shitty enough I’ll use it less.
I.e. messenger.com is possible to use if you request desktop version, change font size and deal with all sort of zoom issues. Of course fb doesn’t support actual calls or notifications just because, so I don’t use it.
Instagram is even sneakier - you can’t post stories via mobile to “close friends”, post videos or view them from instant messages.
