App installation always defaults to wrong fb account

When installing apps on my iphone and using the 'login with facebook', it automatically detects and defaults to the wrong facebook account (I have two fb accounts - one for work and one for personal). How do I switch this to the one I want apps to 'continue as'. Thanks for any advice!

iPhone XR, 12

How do I change the default FaceBook account used in ios 15.3.1? I have the FaceBook app installed on my iPhone and use it with my correct FaceBook account. However, if I try to login to another app using FaceBook integration, my phone tries to use an old account. How can I clear that or swap it? I have looked under Settings/Facebook and there is no option. I have deleted and reinstalled the Facebook account, loggin into the correct new account. Neither worked.

Facebook app confusion! How do I change the initial Facebook app on my Iph 6splus iOS 12.2 to my new Facebook app account? Eg. When sharing something from Safari my Iphone states that it is 'logged into' my initial Facebook account. I want to keep that initial Facebook account but not on my Iphone, so how do I delete it off my iphone and replace it with my new Facebook account? I've tried downloading the Friendly app but that still doesn't change anything! Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Open the side menu in the Facebook app and scroll to the bottom. Select Log Out. You will then be presented with a large thumbnail of your profile picture, indicating your account info (sans password) has been saved in the app. In the lower-right corner you will see two options: Edit and Add Account.
