Can’t sign into FB on my ipad

I continue to get error code 1 when trying to sign in although I can sign in on my Mac and my IPhone using the same credentials. I removed FB and reinstalled but I continue to have the problem. I am running iPadOS 14.4.2. The earlier suggestions are not helpful.

I can sign in to this account from my Mac and my IPhone, but not my IPad. I have the login and password saved in a manager, but it doesn’t work on my IPad. I have also entered the information by hand to make sure it’s reading it correctly, but got the same error.

I can load the FB app, but when I try to sign in I get the error code message. I can go to a browser and login that way, but functionality such as “liking”, moving about without the screen jumping around, do not work properly. I have removed the app and reinstalled and I still get the same error. All other apps work fine. The iPad is using wi-fi.

It’s not the app, it’s the IPad. This is a known problem as far back as 2014 according to discussions on Apple. I can’t sign in when I download the app, but if I go through Chrome or Safari and login on Facebook.com I can get in, but buttons, returns, a number of functions don’t work correctly. I can get in fine on my Mac and my IPhone.

Hello linwoodlake01,


After reviewing your post, it seems like you are not able to sign into Facebook on the iPad but you can on other devices. You may need to contact them directly since it works on multiple other devices.

  5. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
  6. Select reset location and privacy.

  8. Try signing into Facebook.


Please note: This will reset your network and location & privacy settings, you will need to re-connect to any wireless internet routers again.

Here are some steps you can try first you can try to restart your iPad then force restart if still persist https://support.apple.com/en-ph/guide/ipad/ipad63d30b5a/ios


Reset Network Setting to do this navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Setting


If issue persist it is best to get in touch with the app developer this could be related to their app software or system
