Facebook It is probably one of the applications that we use the most on our Android mobiles. But it is also one of those more resources and battery consume, so using it on a slightly older smartphone can become a real nightmare. And very soon it will also be literally impossible.
And it is that very soon, the application de Facebook will stop working on older versions of Android and you will have to look for other alternatives to continue using the social network par excellence.
Facebook will stop working on older versions of Android
Will Facebook disappear from my smartphone?
The compatibility issue we encountered on Facebook for with old versions of Android, it will not affect the majority of smartphones that we have in our country. If you have Ice Cream Sandwich or a later version of the operating system, all you have to do is update the application.
The problem with facebook is that of those who still have older devices, such as those who have Android 2.3 or the like. In this case, the Facebook application will no longer be compatible, so they will have to access the social network through the web version or through another client, which does have that compatibility.
But all fairly new phones that have been purchased in the last 4-5 years, will not have any problem with Facebook, to be able to continue using the social network, as before.
What can I do if my smartphone is no longer compatible with Facebook?
If facebook has stopped working, first of all we must tell you that the same problem with Facebook, you can have it with many other applications, so the first recommendation would be to change your smartphone. But if buying a new mobile is not part of your plans, you have options to continue using the social network. Probably the simplest is to access through the web version, for which you will only need to have an Android browser installed.
Another option that is also quite interesting is that you download Facebook Lite, a much less “heavy” application to access the social network and that has confirmed that it will continue to be compatible with any Android.
Facebook Lite It is also a highly recommended option, even if you have a compatible device and have performance problems, which you think you could improve.
Do you have an old mobile and do you think facebook will stop working? We invite you to tell us about your experience in the comments section at the end of this entry.
