This may be helpful to some people:


  • I checked the text colour in the search box on Facebook and found the following results:
    • iPad Air (generation 1) through the Facebook App - White text on white background, text NOT visible.
    • iPad Air Facebook through Google browser - Black text on white background, text visible.
    • Desktop PC Facebook through Google browser - Black text on white background, text visible.
    • Desktop PC Facebook through Microsoft Edge browser - Black text on white background, text visible.


Today 10/07/21 I took the following action to resolve the problem:

  • Logged out of Facebook and back into Facebook - This made no difference the text was still white on white.
  • Re-booted iPad Air - This made no difference the text was still white on white.
  • Again logged out of Facebook and back into Facebook - This made no difference the text was still white on white.
  • Updated Facebook App through App Store to version 325.0 259MB - This made no difference the text was still white on white.
  • Another update was available in the App Store ONLY after I had installed update 325.0, this new update version 326.0 258.5MB was available from 08/07/21.
  • Updated Facebook App through App Store to version 326.0 258.5MB - This corrected the problem and the text has been restored back to black text on a blue background.


Bit long winded I know but I hope this experience helps some people.

I glad you have decided to quit commenting, about why it’s not an Apple problem. Since it is in part because of incompatibility, of Facebook and the iPad, and we are all Apple customers with Apple products. If it were Adobe Having problems with my iPad and no other operating system or hardware. And Apple did not care, I would still blame Apple, because I use Adobe products to make a living with also.
