How to open facebook pages in the app, instead of in Safari

Hello,

I'm always using search in safari to find facebook pages and links. However, I noticed that many website offer to open native app when go to their website such as Reddit, Pinterest etc.

But when I go to Facebook, I try swipe down and there's no header pop up options like other website now .. it use to works that way. Try clear all cache and history already, but still the same.

How should I open facebook links in iPad app?

Thanks,

Anan

Hello,

I've figured out by myself that facebook app behave differently from each pages:

If you go to user profile in facebook, there is a popup "Open this in "Facebook" in the center of the screen. This is simple.
If you go to fanpage and want to use facebook app, you have to touch "post", "photo" or "video" tab and then swipe down to show the header popup. The you can touch "open" to go to native app.
If you go to a post, swipe down to show the header popup, but it will just go to main page instead of go directly to post in native app.

So the app integration of facebook app on iPad is still not perfect. Hope this will help someone who struggle to do the same :)

Thanks,
