Facebook mobile applications have become a real headache. Facebook forces users to install both the main app and the Messenger app in order to get full functionality.
On top of that, the two applications consume a lot of battery and a lot of mobile data, two important failures that seem to have no solution. In fact, with each update the two apps seem to slow down the phone more.
Although there are more basic versions (Facebook Lite and Messenger Lite), they do not have all the options that we can access from the computer.
In this article we explain a way to use both services in a single application, without eating up your mobile's battery or consuming hundreds of megas. And without giving up any important features!

On the other hand, battery and data consumption are within normal levels, so you won't be in for any nasty surprises.
As you can see, in the navigation menu there are four buttons: the news feed, the messages, the notifications, and access to your profile and pages.
