facebook app and battery life

[motaumar]

So a friend of mine told me that the Facebook app drains your battery. He uninstalled it and said that he saw almost a 6 hour difference in his battery life.
Anyone see the same difference?
I just unibstalled it and I'm going yonder if i see any difference.

Try signing out when you are done.

It does drain dont know if youd gain 6 hours ( not sure how much you use it). Try changing the sync rate to something lower or never and just refresh manually when you go into the app. The update they did that forced their camera & messaging app to phone was the reason I unistalled it. I use the mobile site only now and created a desktop shortcut and have noticed a battery gain.

I think they removed those in the last update after everyone complained about that...
