    Analysis of the Facebook.app for iOS [v. 87.0]

    That's crazy. Having to install 250Mb of data on your phone for a simple frontend of a social network is unacceptable.

    One funny extract that I got from HackerNews.

    Things that are smaller than Facebook's iOS app:

    • Windows, through at least Windows 95, if you count stuff written to disk during install
    • The Java Runtime Environment
    • Eclipse IDE
    • Google Chrome for OS X (beware—updater leaves old versions in the app bundle)
    • Firefox for OS X
    • Pokémon Go
    • A two-disc set encoded in 256kbps AAC
