The 6 Best Facebook Apps for Android in 2023

Facebook Lite

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.

Facebook Ads Manager

The Facebook Ads Manager app is offered by Facebook. It's intended to simplify the ad creation process. The app is a must-have for anyone who purchases Facebook ads frequently.

The app lets you create and manage new ad campaigns or monitor and learn from the success or failure of past ad campaigns. The app conveniently lets you choose from any of the groups or pages you currently administer.

Manage all aspects of Facebook advertising, including boosting posts, driving site traffic, or promoting pages or events. If you're responsible for creating and managing Facebook apps for an organization, this app lets you do your job from anywhere.

Friendly

Friendly is as functional as the Facebook app but with any intuitive user interface. 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. The integrated messenger app is easier to use than Facebook Messenger, without the annoyance of accidental emoticons on long presses.

Desygner

Desygner is a free web app for making creative designs for banners, business cards, posters, and more. 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.

For Facebook, you can choose from design templates sized specifically for a Facebook post. You can also use the app to design profile header images or Facebook ads.

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

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.
