v0.3.4

Hushfacebook v0.3.4 brings together all changes since v0.2.0. It targets Facebook 580.0.0.51.74 and retains support for 577.0.0.50.72. The bundle now has 43 patches, up from 27.

What's new

• Searchable settings. A new overview leads to category pages, with search, clearer dialogs and a live preview for saved video names. Dark, light and wallpaper themes are supported.
• Marketplace only. Keep Marketplace, Notifications and your profile or Menu in the tab bar. Optional quiet social notifications and feed preloading controls are available, with a way back to regular Facebook. The mode starts off.
• More filtering controls cover suggested Stories and Groups, Menu promotions, sponsored search/profile posts and Marketplace requests. Word lists can hide or keep posts, and creator-labelled AI posts have a separate opt-in switch.
• Playback and saves. Tap to play clears the initial play overlay when playback starts and stops a quick swipe from carrying a tap into the next Reel. Long-video resume is available. Compatible saves preserve known H.264/AAC pairs, and audio selection favors formats more players can handle.
• Choose a custom font file, open on a chosen tab, set the default comment order, limit tag suggestions to an explicit @, and block selected promotional notifications. Hushfacebook also has an entry in Facebook's Menu.

Update

1. Refresh the Hushfacebook source in Morphe Manager 1.32.0 or newer. Review the new patches and select the controls you want.
2. Patch the arm64-v8a, Android 11+ bundle of Facebook 580.0.0.51.74, build 475019344. Facebook 577.0.0.50.72, build 474426275, is also supported.
3. Install over your current patched Facebook using the manager's existing signing key. Keep that key to preserve update compatibility.

The .mpp download is a patch bundle, not a Facebook APK. Installation instructions.

Known limitations

Some reports still need checks on the affected phone or viewer: WhatsApp import (#11), Media settings (#12), Xiaomi Gallery audio (#14), cloned-app settings (#16) and a missing Reel Download button (#18). The original reporter's stuck-overlay viewer also needs confirmation. Marketplace can still show ads on listing-detail pages.

Review diagnostic reports before sharing them. Automatic filtering can miss structured credentials or other private text.

Validation

Local checks passed: 984 runtime tests and 454 patch tests, with no failures or skips, plus both Android lints and the release-script checks. All 43 patches applied without forcing to both supported Facebook builds, with no resource or injected-code structural errors. The dependency advisory check passed.

The rebuilt bundle is byte-for-byte identical to the previously verified v0.3.4 bundle. The existing S22 settings and playback checks apply to the same runtime code; the affected configurations listed above remain unconfirmed.

The release includes the patch bundle, its dependency inventory (SBOM), the build and fixture receipt, and SHA-256 checksums.

Full changelog

v0.2.0

Hushfacebook 0.2.0 targets Facebook 580.0.0.51.74, and 577.0.0.50.72 still works. It's the batch of fixes held back since 0.1.8, with 27 patches now, five of them new.

New patches:

• Install beside Meta's apps (on by default). The official Messenger, Facebook Lite, Business Suite and Workplace can now be installed next to a patched Facebook without INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION. If you patched before, patch again and install over the top. It's an ordinary update and Facebook keeps its data.
• Stop update prompts (on by default). A patched Facebook can't install Meta's updates, so it stops asking.
• Use the system font and Use the phone's emoji (both off until you pick them in Manager) draw Facebook's text and emoji with your phone's own fonts.
• Don't send reel watch history (off until you pick it) keeps the list of reels you watch from going back to Facebook.

Other changes:

• Long-press the Facebook logo at the top of your feed to open Hushfacebook's settings (#2). A tap still does what it always did.
• Hide AI-detected posts has a second switch for Reels and Watch.
• The Video file name setting takes {owner} and {posted}, so {owner}_{posted} saves a video as Some Page_20260925.mp4 (#6).
• An opt-in check tells you when a new Hushfacebook release is out. It's off by default and never downloads anything.
• The settings screen shows which rows open something, and the diagnostic report choices fit at large text sizes.
• The README has a Troubleshooting section for Manager's error messages and a section on what Meta can see.

The full list is in CHANGELOG.md.

Checked on a signed-in test phone (Galaxy S22, Android 16) through Morphe Manager, installed over the top with the login kept: a long press on the Facebook logo opened the settings, a tap stayed Facebook's, and the Stories tray row reads as it should.

All 27 patches applied without force to Facebook 580.0.0.51.74 and 577.0.0.50.72. The only manifest change is the two renamed Meta permissions from Install beside Meta's apps. Local checks passed: 575 extension tests, 273 patch tests and both Android lints.

Requires Morphe Manager 1.32.0 or newer. Patch the arm64-v8a (240-640dpi) (Android 11+) Facebook bundle from APKMirror. The .mpp is a patch bundle, not a Facebook APK. Keep the manager's signing key when you update.

v0.1.8

Hushfacebook 0.1.8 fixes the known issue from 0.1.7: Clean up Reels now takes the Follow button off reels on the Reels tab. It only caught the Following button next to people you already follow, so a reel from anyone else kept its Follow button. Following someone from their profile still works.

Checked on a signed-in test phone (Galaxy S22, Android 16) before release. With the switch on, no reel on the Reels tab showed a Follow button, and turning it off brought the button back.

All 22 patches applied without force to Facebook 580.0.0.51.74 and 577.0.0.50.72, with no manifest changes. Local checks passed: 471 extension tests, 171 patch tests and both Android lints.

Requires Morphe Manager 1.32.0 or newer. Patch the arm64-v8a Facebook bundle. The .mpp is a patch bundle, not a Facebook APK.

v0.1.7

Hushfacebook 0.1.7 brings back the settings shortcut from #2. Facebook pushes three shortcuts of its own whenever it posts notifications, so on a launcher that shows only a few, Hushfacebook dropped off the end. It stays first now. Long-press Facebook's icon on your home screen to find it.

There's a new patch, Clean up Reels. It takes the Follow button off reels and hides the comment and reaction previews Facebook shows under them. The Remix, template, Stars and link-out buttons go too, and each part has its own switch under Reels and Watch. It starts off in Morphe Manager.

Downloads have two new settings. Download quality holds every saved video to 1080p, 720p, 480p or 360p, or picks the smallest file. Video file name builds names from a template with {date} and {video_id}. Download any reel is on by default now, so a fresh patch puts a Download button on every reel.

Saved files get the right extension when Facebook's server labels them wrong. A gallery write that fails is reported and cleaned up, and if the gallery won't let go of an unfinished save, the first save after a restart tries again. With Open links in external browser on, fb.watch, m.me and Facebook's other short links open inside Facebook again. The settings screen is easier to read on the black page and says what each row does in all five languages. It won't close Facebook any more when no browser can open the source link.

All 22 patches applied without force to Facebook 580.0.0.51.74 and 577.0.0.50.72, with no manifest changes. Local checks passed: 468 extension tests, 166 patch tests and both Android lints.

On a signed-in test phone (Galaxy S22, Android 16), the update went on through Morphe Manager and kept the login, and Hushfacebook shows first when you long-press Facebook's icon. A reel saved with the quality set to 720p came out as a 720p file named from the template. Clean up Reels kept the comment preview off the reels it showed.

Known issue: on the Reels tab, the Follow button beside a reel's author still shows with Clean up Reels on. The fix is next.

Requires Morphe Manager 1.32.0 or newer. Patch the arm64-v8a Facebook bundle. The .mpp is a patch bundle, not a Facebook APK.

v0.1.6

Hushfacebook 0.1.6 makes settings easier to scan. Actions stand out more clearly in dark and light themes, and the recovery screen has more distinct controls. Shorter descriptions in all five translations keep the important exceptions. Pause has a visible badge when active.

The Save folder dialog explains where files go and confirms the saved name when characters need replacing. The diagnostic choices explain quick and full reports. The Licenses screen wraps notices for a phone and makes project links tappable.

All 21 patches applied without force to Facebook 580.0.0.51.74 and 577.0.0.50.72, with no manifest changes. Local checks passed: 389 extension tests, 115 patch tests and both Android lints. Signed-in feed and Story checks remain pending on an isolated test session.

Requires Morphe Manager 1.32.0 or newer. Patch the arm64-v8a Facebook bundle. The .mpp is a patch bundle, not a Facebook APK.

v0.1.5

Hushfacebook 0.1.5 adds an optional switch that holds a Story at the end until you navigate, and another that keeps your place when you return to the feed within ten minutes. Pull to refresh and a fresh launch still work as before.

The Hushfacebook settings screen now groups controls into clearer cards. The default dark view has a stronger status header and blue controls. Hide Reels in the feed also catches showcase rows and the extra row Facebook adds near the end.

All 21 patches applied to Facebook 580.0.0.51.74 and 577.0.0.50.72 without changing their manifests. Local checks passed: 115 patch tests, 389 extension tests and both Android lints. The Story timing behavior still needs a signed-in device check; the new patch starts off in Morphe Manager.

Requires Morphe Manager 1.32.0 or newer. Patch the arm64-v8a Facebook bundle. The .mpp file is a patch bundle, not an APK.

v0.1.4

What's new

• Hide Reels in the feed is a new patch. The rows of reels between posts leave the news feed, and so do the reels Facebook adds where your feed ends. A reel a friend posts stays. Pick it in Morphe Manager; its switch starts on.
• Built with Morphe patcher 1.14.1, so this bundle needs Morphe Manager 1.32.0 or newer.

Validation

• 374 runtime tests and 108 patch tests passed locally, with both Android lint checks clean.
• All 19 patches applied to Facebook 580.0.0.51.74 and 577.0.0.50.72 without forced compatibility mode or manifest changes.

The .mpp is a Morphe patch bundle, not a Facebook APK. Use Morphe Manager 1.32.0 or newer and keep its existing signing key when updating. The .cdx.json is the bundle's SBOM.

v0.1.3

What's new

• Hide Stories tray is a new patch. The row of stories at the top of the feed goes away, Create story included, the way Facebook builds the feed when its own tray is off. Stories still open from profiles, notifications and the Stories viewer.
• "Suggested for you" has its own switch in Hide suggested and promoted posts. It hides the posts Facebook recommends from people and pages you don't follow and from groups you haven't joined, going by the same flag Facebook's own "hide suggested posts" reads. Posts from friends, followed pages and your groups stay.
• "People you may know" has a switch of its own too, and friend requests are left alone.
• Hide AI-detected posts is a new patch that hides posts Facebook's own detection labelled as made with AI. Its switch starts off.
• Download any video adds Download to phone to the menu of feed and Watch videos, through the same checked downloader stories and reels use. A Save folder setting names the folder saves go to.
• Material You theme gives Facebook's dark mode your wallpaper's colours on Android 12 and newer, and a fixed palette on Android 11. Light mode stays as it is, and it works alone or with AMOLED black theme.
• Sanitize sharing links takes the tracking tags Facebook adds to shared and copied links back off, and links that open in your browser lose their fbclid tag.
• Hushfacebook's own text, launcher shortcut included, is in the language Facebook shows, and a settings file with a number too large to read is refused with a message.
• Each release now carries a CycloneDX SBOM of the bundle, and a release stops on a known advisory nobody has looked at.
• Built with Morphe patcher 1.14.1, so this bundle needs Morphe Manager 1.32.0 or newer.

Validation

• 372 runtime tests and 106 patch tests passed locally, with both Android lint checks clean.
• All 18 patches applied to Facebook 580.0.0.51.74 and 577.0.0.50.72 without forced compatibility mode or manifest changes.

The .mpp is a Morphe patch bundle, not a Facebook APK. Use Morphe Manager 1.32.0 or newer and keep its existing signing key when updating. The .cdx.json is the bundle's SBOM.

Hushfacebook v0.1.2

What's new

• Hushfacebook settings can now export the runtime feature switches to JSON and import them on this phone or another one. Import previews the changes, skips unknown names, and refuses damaged or newer files without changing anything.
• Hushfacebook now has a Facebook-blue identity with a new icon and README hero, plus light or dark wordmarks. The README also has direct install, download, patch, and support links.
• Story and reel saves only fetch from Meta's media servers over HTTPS, and a file reaches your gallery only once it's whole and really is the photo or video it claims to be. They still go through behind routers that answer DNS from a fake-IP range, as OpenClash and sing-box do.
• A save shows its progress in a notification with a Cancel button. Two saves started together no longer trip over each other.
• Hushfacebook's own text follows the phone's language (German, Spanish, Indonesian, Brazilian Portuguese or Turkish, English otherwise), and TalkBack now reads section titles as headings and each switch as a switch.
• Pause and safe mode now take out the reel Download button and the Save item on other people's stories. The settings screen says exactly what Pause turns off.
• The diagnostic report names your Facebook build and lists every patch, along with failed saves and Reels filter trouble. File names and Facebook's ids stay out of it.
• AMOLED black theme no longer breaks a screen on Facebook 580, and hooks that run before Facebook has started can't stop it from starting.
• Built with Morphe patcher 1.14.1, so this bundle needs Morphe Manager 1.32.0 or newer.

Validation

• 274 runtime tests and 79 patch tests passed locally, with both Android lint checks clean.
• All 13 patches applied to Facebook 580.0.0.51.74 and 577.0.0.50.72 without forced compatibility mode or manifest changes.

The .mpp is a Morphe patch bundle, not a Facebook APK. Use Morphe Manager 1.32.0 or newer and keep its existing signing key when updating.

v0.1.1

Hushfacebook 0.1.1 is 0.1.0 with its settings screen fixed. Same 13 patches, same targets: Facebook 580.0.0.51.74 (the current release) and 577.0.0.50.72, arm64-v8a.

Fixed

• The Hushfacebook settings screen is readable. On 0.1.0 every row title was drawn in Facebook's near-black text on the black page, and the Export diagnostic report and Clear diagnostic data rows showed up blank. Both turned up on a Galaxy S25 running 0.1.0, and a test now fails if any row is untitled or drawn dark.

Installing

Add the source in Morphe Manager 1.31.0 or newer with the link in the README, then patch the arm64-v8a Facebook 580.0.0.51.74 bundle from APKMirror. The .mpp here is the patch bundle, not a Facebook APK. SHA256SUMS.txt has its checksum, and the release receipt records what it was checked against.

What was checked

All 13 patches applied to the real 580.0.0.51.74 and 577.0.0.50.72 bundles with no manifest changes. 73 extension tests and all 73 patch tests passed, along with both Android lint checks. On an Android 16 emulator the settings screen opened from the launcher shortcut with every row readable, including over Facebook's signed-out screens.
