    What is that app possibly made of that it cant run on literally anything? It’s just an app for text and images. I dont get it, is it optimized like an actual potato?

      I mean, look at the facebook app. They had to do “optimizations”, because they ran into limits of Android’s Dalvik a few years back.

      is it optimized like an actual potato?

      Back when it was still in beta, it went through a period where it drained my battery from 100% to dead in under 30 minutes.

      Just by being installed, not even actually using it.

      Could be a library or feature that the devs didn’t consider worth maintaining on older devices.

      For context, the OP appears to be using Android 5 or 5.1, released in 2014/2015 respectively and is used on 1.1-1.3% devices worldwide.

        What a stupid anti-human shit, I hate it. All my devices from 10 years ago are still perfectly fine and operational, and I can’t use them because of some people’s laziness. They are used on 1% devices not because they are necessarily bad or broken but because it’s impossible to use them now for arbitrary reasons.
