My husband and I just got a new iphones and we were so bummed because we had this same problem. I found out how to make it work and it worked for both of us. Go to settings and then click on facebook. Turn OFF the three facebook options. Then, go back home and go into your facebook app, log in, and it should work. After you log in, you can go back and turn those three options back on.

Hope it works for you all too!
