Any way to control Facebook wakelocks?

I greenify it. It only runs when I open it.


You won't get any notifications this way, but I personally like that :thumbup:

 

Jeeze, where have I been. I had no idea that app existed.. thank you! I don't need it for FB, but it will be useful for other apps.

 

If you only disable notifications it'll still wake up and refresh its contents. It just won't notify you.

You can adjust notifications within most apps themselves. That's the better route to go usually

 

Likely facebook wouldn't give them access to their APIs. Twitter does something similar. twitter apps that aren't the official Twitter app can't have more than like 150,000 users.

Facebook is trying to monetize its mobile users, they aren't going to accomplish that by letting other apps take its revenue stream

 

Im not aware of any, but I'd be cautious using a 3rd party g+ app.

Whatever app that is would potentially have access to your whole Google account. The risk of malware for something like that would be huge

 

If you turn notifications and refresh off Facebook won't run unless you open it.

 

I use Green Power Premium , and you can blacklist it there. Set it to be not allowed to connect to internet when the screen is off.
