Many users in Europe use alternatives to Facebook on their Android phones. These alternatives are generally lighter, eliminating some functions or not containing ads, which allows a better use of this application. Swipe or Simple Social are two such alternatives which are particularly popular among Android users.

These two alternatives have been removed from the Play Store recently something happened under pressure from Facebook. These unofficial apps usually bundle the social network’s website together, change its styling, and remove features or advertisements. This is something the social network does not view favorably and has been pushing for them to be removed from the Google Play Store.

This version of Facebook is light, fast and ad-free

If you want to enjoy Facebook on your Android phone without unnecessary elements like ads in a light and fast version, this version is for you.

Alternatives to Facebook eliminated

These third-party applications that work as alternatives to the social network are removed from stores like the Play Store. Mark Zuckerberg’s social network is not very happy with these alternative apps and they forced them to be removed. These alternatives are known as FB Wrappers because they usually keep the design of the official website and eliminate some features that users don’t want to use.

Swipe and Simple Social are two of the most well-known Facebook alternatives, which together accumulated over 1.5 million downloads in the Play Store. The creator of Swipe shared a farewell letter on Reddit, where he revealed that he received a letter from the lawyers of the social network ordering him to cease his activities, in addition, his personal accounts were removed from the social network. as well as. A situation similar to that experienced by Simple Social, which also removed the application from the store.

Two of the most well-known alternatives to Facebook for Android are lost in this way. In the Play Store we are even with some alternatives like Metal or Folio, perhaps known to many users, but it would not be surprising if in the next few days these apps will eventually disappear from the store as well, as it seems that the social network has opened up the hunt for these apps.

Swipe and Simple Social will continue to work on Android phones, albeit for a short time. The question is, what will happen with the open source alternatives that you can download from alternative stores, if these applications will also soon be forced to go out of business.
