Hi all.
When I use facebook on my iphone 12 pro, the security and login history keeps showing an ipad login, instead of iphone 12 pro.
Does anyone know why? And does it need fixing?
It's just bugging me why it shows that way especially since my partner has an iphone 11 pro max and her facebook security and login history shows exactly iphone 11 pro max.
Thanks, all.
Apple and other browser vendors are removing the telltale means of specifically identifying a browser client including deprecating the User Agent string, which is why various websites are now “confusing” iPad, iPhone, and Mac.
Basically, what Facebook is trying to do here is being deprecated by the browser vendors, and if the browser work succeeds, Facebook and other websites will have more difficulty attempting to track and identify a specific user; us.

Google is implementing similar changes, as well:
You have the Messenger (sync) issues too?
I have the same issue. I thought someone hacked my phone or cloned it and was using my phone to log in. :-P
Why is this a Facebook issues when I thought the playsore and hangouts are google apps
Seems fixed for me now. It shows "iPhone 12 Pro". But still Messenger Lite for iOS which i don't really understand.
It’s because it’s a brand new phone and Facebook hasn’t upgraded its settings. It will soon.
