Let’s start with the basic terminology first.

What is facebook?

Facebook is something even a kids know today. But doesn’t means it is something compulsory to be known by everyone. The person reading this can be a facebook user too and not know katana at all. It is like controversy in many ways like privacy issues manipulation etc. And when it comes to using people use it day night nonstop. Kids and adults both are FB addicts these days. Coming to main part now.

Facebook (FB) is a popular and world’s largest connecting network website used by all generations. It is for your ease to share live moments, photos, videos, posts, awareness with family and friends on application or browser site. FB  was initially for college students in 2004. Anyone an account knows Mark Zuckerberg too. He is the owner and handles Facebook. It is now accessible for anyone above 13 years of age with a proper email ID. We assume having a Fb account is now a part of online world. Surfing online is now a famous trend. Because of its popularity, other webpages have integrated with FB. That is using one Facebook account to login to other websites at the same time.

What is com.facebook.katana?

FaceBook.Katana is the development or backend codename of the FB app. We get it with our Facebook app by default and it is for the purpose of smooth working of the Facebook application. We are unaware of the fact but almost all other applications also have this type of backend codes for their regular functioning. But they hide from us and are available when we search them in download managers. This is primarily the sole reason that the general public has no idea about them. This is perfectly fine, and these types of development files don’t harm our phones.  com.facebook.katana is a group of files default with the Facebook app, whenever we download it on our device phone either Android or IOS device. It is just FB’s system code phrase for the application. 

Similarly, we have com.facbook.orca for the messenger app which is basically a chatting app for Facebook. Both com.facbook.orca and com.facebook.katana are only visible if you have both Facebook and messenger app installed in your phones in different directories. There’s no misunderstanding here as katana and orca come with facbook and messenger app installation. Both connect to the user’s account of FB. So, if you chose to regularly use FB then there’s no need to delete it from your phone.

What is the use of com.facebook.katana?

In simple words, like our body works day and night and requires a support system. We know this support system works and needs a backup to store all its data. The brain efficiently does this backup or backend task for us. Similarly, katana is the backend worker for facebook. Facebook requires katana in any case. It stores all the data required by the user of the app. Like the body cannot work without brain same goes for FB without katana.

It is a simple backend application that automatically creates itself supporting main application in the form of folder that attaches to it. It also helps facebook on bulk to keep record of its users. Records of accounts, photos, videos, data uploaded on specific device. It is for the purpose that if later on you lose your phone, in that case you can retrieve all your information and data safely. Otherwise with each use the data regarding particular day will also vanish. In simple words it stores information for us.

Can com.facebook.katana harm my device?

There is a delusion that katana is a virus. Let me clear this for you. People also assume the katana folder for a hacker’s mischief to get their information. They hold katana for all the issues that occur in the device while using FB. Along with com.facebook.orca that’s present because of messenger app, com.facebook.katana is almost the same. It does not harm our device with malware or virus. You can remain tension free for the day. Sometimes there are alerts, notifications, popups, or bugs that happen when you are using FB. The solution to the above problem is here.

However, when we don’t download the FB app on our mobile phones and use FB directly on web, we do not find com.facebook.katana or com.facebook.orca.

Do I need to remove Com.Facebook.Katana?

The prime job of com.facebook.katana is to archieve information from Facebook. It is a backend application that is hiding behind on both Android and iOS. As of the latest upgradation of the app, its name differed from before. The important information regarding client responsible for working of FB and messenger app keep the folders.Among those folders one is katana. There’s no other way to eliminate the com.facebook.katana. You can always uninstall the Facebook application for complete removal. That’s how simple it is. If the app itself removes so will katana too. This is something satisfactory to you now? 

So, if we remove katana the FB app as well will remove itself. I know you need not worry about the daily gossips on FB and curiosity content too. I know you must be worried about the daily gossips on FB and curiosity content too. It is not a malware or a virus or some ransomware. I will say it again, it is not dangerous for our device. It is just like a backup for FB important for its working. At times issues arrive but that’s normal with the 90% efficiency of the app.
