How to Read Facebook Stories Without Internet Connection
Table of contents:
The latest update of the Facebook mobile app has brought us a new option, the mode offline, which allows, if we activate it, access to all our post history even if there is no Internet connection available at that moment (or if we turn off the data) . By activating it, apart from consulting the information and images, we can like on those posts or write comments It doesn't seem possible that these comments and likes are received at the moment by the other user, so we imagine that they will be sent automatically once the connection is resumed. Offline Facebook Stories are rolling out to users in stages, so you may still have to wait a few days for them to go live.
This option, which may seem a bit gifty (songs or movies in offline mode is understandable, but histories of Facebook?), probably responds to the widespread complaint within the user community about the size of the app of the social network and its tremendous consumption of resources (both battery and data connection ). Thus, by saving Facebook stories while still at home on Wi-Fi, it ensures that we can make a journey in metro or walk and not miss any of our stories, without powdering our data connection.
The negative part? Obviously, everything we consult offline will only reach until the moment in which we have left home. From then on, all new stories, comments, or photos will only be available once reconnect the data. We will have to wait and see if the offline Facebook stories have a run.
Another detail of the latest update of Facebook (for now only visible on Android ) is that it integrates a link to Instagram in the user tab, in the same place as the managed pages, under the profile. It does not prevent us from downloading the app, since when clicking we are directs to this, it simply allows us to go directly without having to exit the application, go to the main menu and then enter Instagram It's a measure of time saving,nothing else.
Facebook, a heavyweight
Currently Facebook lConsider spending resources on the current phones, with up to four applications of your own: Facebook, Messenger, Page Manager and Ad Manager, which together can reach up to giga of storage in iOS, being a bit lower on Android, but equally high.
Although the ideal would be for the developers of the Facebook app to reduce its size and optimize your consumption, this offline mode option works like a small patch to "get by" and protect some of our precious contracted megabytesThe other option is to use the Metal for Facebook app, which works as a Facebook manager, and that occupies much less. Mind you, it's only available for Android and (let's face it) still doesn't work too much fluent.
To access this unique option of offline history you have to download the latest update of Facebook, and still, not all terminals appear yet. We imagine that it will be released progressively
