The website is pretty bad too, but ads are easy to block and it gives Facebook less rights on your device (as opposed to native app).

It's an option, but now I just use WhatsApp. I have a small number of groups for the people I care about, and now that WhatsApp has better archiving, I find it quite a pleasant user experience. I can even see photos someone shared to my group more than a year ago. I find Facebook redundant, because I don't aspire to be a pseudo-celebrity amongst people who hardly know me!

I can't use Facebook with all the ads and noise. I've blocked mine down to just the news feed, everything else goes away. Much cleaner and easier to use.
