I have the Facebook app in my Galaxy A51. It cannot be uninstalled. So I did everything I could to stop it. I did not allow any permissions, restricted battery usage, restricted data usage, cleared data and cache, force stopped it and disabled it. But yet when I go to the Developer Options and see the running services I always see Facebook Services running in the background. Even after stopping Facebook Services from the Developer Options itself, it still starts running in the background after half an hour or so. Why is it still running in the background even after restricting data usage? Is there no way to permanently disable it and stop it from running in the background? Why is it not possible to uninstall Facebook?

Facebook comes pre-installed on almost every phone and has system app status and privileges, thus to track user always to keep shows adds , you can't stop this nor can disable unless yoh root

Have you ever noticed that for ex you went to some store and were looking for some dresses and you tryed and took pics to compare but but notice that you will see ads and recommendations about same sort of stuff . That's why Facebook exists

No WhatsApp ? What do you use for messaging ? Even I don't use FB and Insta often 😂 they have become boring to me.

Facebook is often used for signing in to various apps. It has huge integration with Android, maybe because Google can say "We alone don't track users. We are not a monopoly, we also let other apps track our users 😎" 😂😂😂
