Facebook app manager/Facebook app installer bypassing google play store? 0 Recommended Answers 2 Replies 541 Upvotes
So I noticed today in my notifications facebook updated itself via Facebook app manager
from what I could find on the internet facebook uses app manager and app installer to update their software and bypassing the app store
I never installed these apps willingly. I only installed facebook and facebook messenger so it seems they are installing these other 2 apps as well
I disabled them via my app manager but isnt this a violation of googles policies?
What is keeping facebook from installing anything if they side load their own app manager and bypass the google play store?
Facebook has a page on this service.

Howdy do
There are legion of posts about how bad the interaction of FB and Google is. DON'T USE FB App.
Instead, after you remove all the FB gunk, is to use Chrome Browser and go to m.facebook.com. All if it is there. You can then use the Add To Homescreen option in the 3-dot menu, and voila!, you have an icon.
best,

I use m.facebook.com that works perfectly and once it's closed, it no longer runs in the background draining the battery while searching for Friends' status changes so that we won't miss what they had for breakfast. A separate messaging app may be required though and I recommend Messenger Lite that also works perfectly and is not the resource hog that is the full-fat version.
