It includes an integrated messenger app, new posts ordered by most recent, and the developers promise the app will cut down on data and battery consumption. The main feed provides a familiar look for anyone switching over from the branded Facebook app. Commenting includes emoticons and the ability to embed images or videos from your phone or camera.

If you don't have an unlimited data plan, checking Facebook many times a day with the standard Facebook app can add up. Facebook offers a lite version of its app called Facebook Lite. This app has nearly all the same features as the regular app but with a scaled-down user interface.

The app uses icons without color, smaller fonts, and has a smaller footprint (application size). Facebook promises that its app can function well even on a slow 2G network. Just because Facebook Lite saves space doesn't mean it falls short.

You'll find nearly all the features you're used to in the regular Facebook app, including emoji, sharing photos and video, post notifications, and the Facebook Marketplace. With space-saving comes some quirks, and posts are slow to load. However, if you're low on space, the app is a good solution.

The web app includes thousands of free templates, so you don't have to start the design process from scratch. The Desygner mobile app lets you do the same thing from your phone. Use pre-made templates to design original social media posts, not only for Facebook but for Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, and more.

While the Desygner app is overloaded with too many premium templates, there are enough free templates to make the app worthwhile. If you struggle to come up with well-designed posts that'll attract more likes, the Desygner app is an excellent place to start.

Buffer has been a leading post-scheduling app for social media for many years. The value of Buffer is that instead of logging in to Twitter or Facebook once a day and spamming your followers, you can schedule your posts so that they're spread out over time.

The free version is limited to only three social accounts and 10 scheduled posts for each of those accounts. If you don't use many social accounts, Buffer is a clear choice. It integrates with Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Pinterest.

You can also configure limits, where the app warns you if you pass a maximum limit in minutes. You can even have the app shut off your access to Facebook or Facebook Messenger if you reach a secondary limit after the warning. If you feel like you have an issue with Facebook addiction, this is a small but effective app to help curb the problem.

It offers all the same functionality you'd expect with a unique style and a simple user interface. Phoenix Facebook feels less cluttered and busy than the default Facebook app. There's also a useful Pages feed that lets you view only posts from the pages and groups on Facebook that you follow.
