Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It allows you to maintain communications on a global scale, which is essential today, in addition to the fact that, due to being one of the best known, it is quite difficult not to find your contacts.
  • A few of my friends are there but hopefully they will continue leaving.
  • It has a user-friendly interface.
  • - First, the Facebook has a very simple and user-friendly interface. - It suggests people, groups and community according to your interests. - It is available on almost every platform.
  • - Facebook lets you connect with anyone and make them friend. - You can make private or public groups for people with the same interests. - It also offers a marketplace, where you can buy or sell any used or new items.

Cons

  • They are not usually quite clear about how they manage privacy, although there are multiple functions which allow you to have a certain control of your privacy, even today there are certain unknowns based on how they manage your privacy.
  • Too many to name. The ethos is that of left wing radicals.
  • However, Facebook does not respect your privacy. It sells your data and spies on you. The worst part is that Facebook censors users with different ideology from its owners. For example, I was blocked from posting on FB 5 times for 30 days last year only and each time for 100% truthful content under false pretext of misinformation. I have PhD. and do research for life - there was no misinformation on my part, just plain fascism on part of Facebook.
  • - In the smartphone version, they really push the messenger app to use with Facebook.
  • - It takes user data unnecessarily that sometimes feels like a threat to privacy.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It offers Intuitive design and features for communication. It has multi-platform support, which makes it easy to connect with mobile and desktop. It also offers a file-sharing option.
  • (+) Multi-application, mini-apps, and support to many features is a definite plus. (+) Easy to use and very interactive interface. (+) Integration with various other businesses. (+) Easy to setup.
  • I use WeChat to communicate with classmates in some culture clubs at university. I prefer FB Messenger groups to WeChat groups though, because I find that WeChat makes my older Android phone laggy. It's pretty cool how WeChat had payment options and miniapps long before most western messaging apps though.

Cons

  • It worked great for me. Nothing to share about the con.
  • (-) Not as fast as regular communication applications. (-) Privacy is not up to the mark. (-) Improvements on the collaboration interface.
  • Makes phone laggy, is memory intensive, can make phone hot to the touch after ~10 min of calling someone via WeChat. Supposedly is monitored by the Chinese government.
