@SysAdminDoc SysAdminDoc released this 27 Sep 01:17

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.
