According to this, Facebook was 32 MBs 4 years ago. It's similar with Twitter.

It's their fault that they keep adding stuff to track you. And Facebook contains just about every library that has ever existed now.

But now Facebook mobile app is a different tech. It's ReactNative, not Obj-C, right?

    React Native under the hood uses Obj-C to bridge to native Cocoa frameworks. For example when you uses a <View> tag in JavaScript, it ends up calling iOS UIView.

      Still, it's not the very same tech. Especially in this discussion, where we are talking about apps performance and languages, which need to get under the hood instead of talking directly with the engine, are presented as "worse".
