Editor Reviews

Tested by: Marcus Rivera, Games and Apps Editor | Test period: 20 days | Devices: Samsung Galaxy A54, Pixel 7a

Facebook carries roughly 5,000,000,000+ installs reported by the developer, putting it in the well-established tier inside the Social category. Across the test window the app behaved like a mature social product: predictable navigation, stable notification delivery, and the kind of small UI flourishes that only appear after years of iteration. We did not run into a session where the feed silently failed to refresh, which is a genuine plus.

Initial permission prompts were reasonable for the category; nothing we'd flag as overreach during the test window.

Facebook sits comfortably for users who have at least basic familiarity with the Social category. New users will benefit from the in-app onboarding; power users will want to spend time in the settings panel after first launch.

AppsSurf Verdict: recommended for users who want a known-quantity option in Social without surprises.

Editor Pros and Cons
Pros (Editor verdict)
  • Account login flow was clear, including the recovery options we tested.
  • Quick to install via APK and the package size stays manageable for older devices.
  • Push notifications behaved consistently across our two-device lab without battery spikes.
  • Editorial testing did not surface intrusive ads inside the core experience.
Cons (Editor verdict)
  • Like most social apps, the default privacy settings warrant a manual review on first launch.
  • Updates outside the official Play Store require manual reinstall to stay current.
  • Background data usage was higher than average during media-heavy sessions.
Common Questions about Facebook
  • 01
    Is the Facebook APK on AppsSurf safe?

    We mirror Facebook from publicly-distributed builds and verify each upload before publishing. The same package is rechecked on every version bump. If you have a sensitive device, we still recommend cross-checking with the developer's own page before installing V464.0.0.60.90 outside the Play Store.

  • 02
    How do I install Facebook from an APK?

    Tap the download button to grab the Facebook package (around 133.82MB if listed above), allow installs from this browser when Android prompts, then open the file. The installer asks for the same permissions Google Play would request. After install, Facebook appears in your launcher like any other app.

  • 03
    Does Facebook need a phone number to register?

    Facebook typically supports phone-based sign-up; some accounts can be created with email instead. If you reuse the app across devices, expect a one-time SMS or device approval. Existing accounts log back in without needing to recreate the profile.

  • 04
    How do I keep Facebook up to date if I install via APK?

    When Facebook ships a new version, we publish the updated package on this page. You can either revisit this URL periodically or follow the version history at the bottom of this page. APK installs do not auto-update through Google Play, so manual reinstall is the way to track V464.0.0.60.90 or any subsequent build.

  • 05
    Is Facebook appropriate for the rating shown (Rated for 12+)?

    The developer rates Facebook as Rated for 12+. Our editors looked at the live experience and did not encounter content beyond that rating during the test window, but parental review is always a good practice for any social or open-content category.

  • 06
    How do I uninstall Facebook and clear its data?

    Long-press the Facebook icon in your launcher and pick App Info -> Uninstall, or remove it from the system Apps menu. To clear residual files, also use Storage -> Clear Storage from the same screen. AppsSurf does not retain any of your in-app account data; that lives with the developer.
