Concluding Thoughts
While Facebook is one of the most widely used social media sites, its Facebook Pro App is nothing more than a waste of space on your hard drive. Taking up 130MB of RAM its resources exceed what should be required to be running a limited app such as this. There is nothing added to the Pro App that warrants it being downloaded, as opposed to using it in a browser. Furthermore, there is no added security features in the app, which means that so long as someone has your credentials, such as e-mail address and password they can long into your account from any Facebook Pro App. If that was not enough to deter you, the app keeps you logged in, until you click sign out – leaving you open to having someone access your account if you share a computer.
While it may be easier to use the Facebook Pro App on your desktop as opposed to opening it in browser, there is nothing essential about having the app, as you do not get added extras or functions that you do not receive at the in-browser website. All in all, it would be better just to keep using the social media site in your browser, at least then you get some added security from your web browser.
Apple has removed the direct link between the Photos app and Facebook in macOS Mojave. But it is still easy to upload Photos to Facebook using the Facebook website. You can use the Media option in the file open dialog, drag and drop into the file open dialog, drag directly onto the Facebook page, and a variety of other options. If you have trouble picking out a photo this way, you can always enlarge the photos you are viewing, or drag and drop direct from the Photos app or the Finder.Check out How To Post Photos to Facebook From Your Mac at YouTube for closed captioning and more options.
