The LAST thing I'd do with my mobile phone is install Facebook or Instagram. What a nightmare.
I still use Facebook (many friends and relatives still there) but only through the web browser. Never ever install an app if you can help it. FB has tried to make the web version worse and worse in the mobile browser, though, to try to force people to use the app. Comment input boxes got janky and now chat is impossible unless you check "desktop site". These things worked fine a couple years ago.
Unless you run a custom ROM, like LineageOS or GrapheneOS, you most probably have some Meta apps installed at system level.
This is Meta Services, as a system app which can only be disabled, on my work Samsung.
