What happens if I Uninstall Facebook App Manager?

I just noticed (Facebook App Installer and Facebook App Manager) in my all apps section under settings. I tried looking it up but can't find anything. It doesn't have the Facebook icon next to it but has the Android icon. Seems very suspecious to me. I looked on my girls phone and she doesn't have it. I was just wondering if anyone else has these two apps installed also. I'm currently running Android 6.0. Thank you

Facebook is pushing updates to its app through these now for interim updates. It lets them bypass the app store for bug fixes and staged feature rollouts.

How did you delete them when your not rooted?

****tards at Facebook trying some shady **** as usual. The thing is, I don't even use their ****ing network, yet somehow, I ended up with it getting installed, and promoted as a system app overnight. Don't be surprised if they don't respond to your feedback, mother****ers don't care about anyone. All they want is to get information about you, which they could sell to who-the ****-ever they want. Immediatelly disabled all their spyware, and you should do the same.

You need ROOT to remove the Facebook garbage

All apps can be found in the /data and /data/data folders in Android but you need ROOT to access, alter or delete from these areas.

Hello. I was looking in my apps to delete us less stuff and I noticed the same thing, FB, FB app,FB app mgr. With the little droid icon. I feel violated.

These aren't Facebook! Well it is, but not directly. These 2 are system files that manage/download files that are connected or used by other apps on your phone. Say you're sharing a picture, hyper link, etc to facebook because that system app has the option to do so....that's what these 2 things do

Actually, one of those two Facebook related apps checks the SHA sums of the installed Facebook app itself which I believe is to verify that a Facebook app from another source cannot be downloaded or side-loaded. I believe that this is because the factory installed Facebook app has some configuration files which uniquelly ties it to the device it was shipped with as well as the phones owner. I also believe that these Facebook related system apps only appear on devices where the Facebook app comes pre-loaded by the device manufacturer and is part of what Facebook calls the "Facebook Experience" and these embedded Facebook apps share your Facebook access tokens with the device manufacturer and others which allows them to access all your Facebook data. Even with the Facebook app deleted these other two Facebook related system apps were still using data in the background.

I highly recommend users deleting their Facebook accounts and use ADB to remove Facebook and the other related apps from the user 0 account if they don't have root.

Why do they choose who/ what device to place their Facebook App Manager & Facebook App Installer process onto? Is it random or targeted towrds people that are labled under a certain unknown criteria. By the way I used to not have this on my phone but another thing I used to not have on my phone is a notification of how i am using a special version of android. Dunno what's so special about my version other than I know I deck out my ohone but android version is only changed when an update is ready for it. And yes two same phones on one family plan yet phones are so very different and other family members phone isnt a special version. But now the other device now has these two Facebook Apps as well. What's up? Oh yeah, off thst topic onto a new topic, my messenger was just logged into by an unknown device at 11:55PM. And no one just logs into my sh!*
