How do I add Facebook to my new MacBook?

So my new MacBook Pro came in today. To add Facebook you would normally go to the apple logo, system preferences, internet accounts and click on Facebook. Now there is no Facebook to click on. (No Linkedin or Twitter either, but I'm not worried about that.). How do I add Facebook to my new MacBook without causing any damage. One reason I got a new one is that I got constant error messages when I was on the Facebook app on my old machine. Thanks for any help.

Greetings reesearoo,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It seems like you want to add a Facebook account to the Mac.

Are you able to access the account using Safari?

Are you trying to use the Facebook Messenger app?


"Add an account from an app

You can add accounts from Mail, Contacts, and Calendar. Accounts you add from the apps appear in Internet Accounts preferences.

  1. In an app on your Mac, click the app menu, then choose Add account.
  2. For example, in Mail, choose Mail > Add account.
  3. Select the account provider, then follow the onscreen instructions.
  4. If you want to add an account from a provider that isn’t listed, such as a mail or calendar account for your company or school, click Other [Type of] Account, click Continue, then enter the requested account settings. If you don’t know the account settings, ask the account provider."


Use your internet accounts on Mac


Please don't hesitate to let us know if the steps resolved your issue or if you need additional assistance.


Take care.

Sharing/Internet Accounts to FaceBook has been removed for security reason in the latest macOS. Sorry.


Use your browser to get to your FaceBook directly.
