Analysis of the Facebook app

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
