does Facebook drain the battery 

[Glenntech]

Yes it will do.
Like with other apps similar, they run doing background processing and communication even when you are not using them

[da9kl]

so how do u slow them down

[beagle2mars]

Uninstall

@da9kl: Head to Settings > Battery > Background usage limits > Sleeping apps or Deep sleeping apps > Tap the '+' in the top right > Select Facebook > Add. This will reduce the background activity of the app, or stop it completely, and should help to reduce its effect on your battery life.

Every app drains battery to some degree.

[da9kl]

true but I found another way just use the Web and save it as a bookmark just done it now

[Glenntech]

Best way with apps like Facebook
Get all your stuff without the battery hit you get from apps

A number of social  Media Apps  can be Battery Hogs,  Facebook and Tiktok are certainly culprits.  up to users to decide if the value of them is more important.  I do use the Facebook app personally  but  not one of the fanatics.  Some advice here https://www.androidauthority.com/top-battery-draining-apps-3207361/

@da9kl Facebook is known as a Vampire App for a reason 😉
