![]() * Hide "Sale Groups Near You" nonsense (again with the pushing of sales. I haven't seen this in a while but may as well hide it since it sounds useless. * Hide "Trending Topics" / "Topics to Follow" crap I think. * Hide "Related Articles" crap from news feed when interacting with an article (trying too hard to hijack the content interaction flow) * Hide "Recommended from you from marketplace" garbage * Hide "Products shown:" cards (please stop giving me ads based on object recognition in my friends' photos, thx) * Hide "People You Should Follow" (really? are they serious?) * Hide "Groups You Should Join" / "Suggested Groups" (we are all capable of using the search box to find things we care about, thank you very much). * Hide "Invite your friends to join this group" (or whatever that spam-promption junk is called) ![]() * Hide "Suggested Products" / "Product Deals For You" nonsense (seriously guys?) I know how to click on them if I care, thanks) * Hide "Popular Stories From Your Pages" / "Page Stories You Missed" / whatever that nonsense is called these days. * Hide "Top Stories From Your Groups" stuff (seriously, who actually wants to see this stuff?) * Hide "Story you may publish" nonsense (I haven't seen this myself but others have, so I'm preemptively nuking this) * Hide "Pages You May Like" crap (facebook's over-promotion of "Pages" is what caused me to start this whole mod in the first place) * Hide "People You May Know" from the NOTIFICATION area (and also in the main feed, for the time being) * Hide the snapchat-wannabe "Stories" bar at the top of the news feed (if I wanted snapchat, I'd install snapchat, thanks) * Hide "Suggested Posts" / "Sponsored Posts" The community has shown some interest, so I am publishing a preliminary link to my "bleeding-edge" version below, as well as to an older and possibly more stable version.Ĭlearly you have only my word that I hadn't introduced malware or a bitcoin miner, though you are welcome to unpack the APK and diff it against stock. I don't mind patching the stuff myself, though I'm mainly an ARM dude so having to dig through megs and megs of DEX bytecode all by myself has been rather tedious. And although this stuff can probably be done with an Xposed extension, the nice thing about a standalone APK is that non-rooted users can obviously benefit from it too. Though I've seen a number of facebook mods on here, I hadn't been able to find anything that focuses this closely on removing clutter and optimizing the interaction between user and content. I am primarily targeting things like the clutter that pops up after most interactions with content ("Related Articles", "People Also Shared", "More Videos", etc), as well instagram upsells, "suggested posts", ads (obviously), and generally anything designed to either hijack your attention or to disingenuously present itself as "organic" content while being, in fact, paid content. My patched version tries to get rid of as much clutter, junk, and social garbage as possible. I've been working on a patched Facebook APK for some time.
