Probably best on mobile platforms to use a task killer where Facebook,
Instagram, and other socially needy apps (e.g., WhatsApp) get unloaded
instead of left running in the background when you "exit" the app.

Messages are not lost, they are on hold for some time.

immediately respond to a received message, you don't get to see the
