    Are there any phones on the market that do not have Facebook preinstalled? I don't particularly care if it's not the full app or just a shell or whatever facebook are trying to peddle. I just don't want it on the phone ;)

    Neither of my last two phones had it, a Sony and a Huawei.
    I reckon most don't come with it unless its a relatively new thing.

    Never had any third party apps like Facebook/Instagram etc pre-installed on any of my Motorola G phones, LG Nexus, Nextbit Robin and now my OnePlus 6. Stock Android.

    I had it on my last 2 samsungs. But as Iamxavier said, it's just a shell, it's not the app. But I fúcking hate facebook, so I can see where he's coming from!

    Just checked my phone (Huawei p30 pro) and no facebook.

    I tend to root and remove any of the FB and social media stuff that my androids come pre installed with.
    If I don't root, I usually just disable in app settings.

    I do use a wrapper app for my Social media so FB, Messenger, Twitter and most other stuff is via that.l rather than the preinstalled or official apps.

    Simple Pro, I've tried a few and thats the one I keep going back to.
    My wife is a fan of Friendly, but I dont like the fact that friendly is a few different apps whereas Simple is really nearly all in 1.
