Since updating to ios 15.1 my facebook app doesn’t work properly. If I click on a post the whole app freezes. I’ve tried reinstalling FB and rebooting ipad. Realized today that if I take the ipad off of the magic keyboard the issue is resolved! Any fixes for this?
I have the same issue, I went to Settings - General - Accessibility - Keyboards and turned on “Full Keyboard Access” and it seems to be working now. I saw another post that said this setting was changed during the update.

Hey there, Ripley67!
From your post, it sounds like you are having issues with using the Facebook app while a keyboard is connected to your iPad. We’re glad that you reached out to the Apple Support Communities. We want to try and help you find the answers you need.
What type of iPad do you use? Do you use an Apple-branded Magic Keyboard with your iPad? Here's how to check: Keyboards for iPad.
If possible, can you test another keyboard with your iPad to see if it causes the same experience? Does the problem happen only on Facebook or with other apps? If with other apps, which apps?
If you have not tried already, please restart the iPad. Does this help to resolve the issue? Often this simple step will refresh the apps and software on the device to solve numerous problems you may encounter.
Take care!

The space bar doesn’t work
You should be able to fix this:
"You turn on ‘Full Keyboard Access’ to fix Facebook. Then to fix your keyboard issues tap ‘Full Keyboard Access’ go to ‘Commands’ and clear all the basic entries that will solve you keyboard issues.'

Does that include this one? Tap on Commands on the Access page and clear the special action for Space and any other key that causes problems.

BYW: I have Apple Keyboard. Same herewith freezing. . Keyboard freezes when tapping comments. If I get out of app and go back sometimes it works. But who wants to do that?
Hi! Thanks for responding so quickly.
As far as I can see it’s only the FB app. I have noticed a slight delay in various actions on other things but nothing specific that I remember.
I do now realize that the FB freezing is temporary. If I wait long enough, the action eventually takes place. Maybe 15 or 20 seconds.
I have an iPad 11 pro 1st generation. I am using an Apple branded magic keyboard. I tried using my Apple brand smart key board and had no issue. I do believe it is the magic keyboard.
If this helps, I did not have an issue when I updated to 15.0. Only when I installed 15.1.
I have restarted the iPad and also reinstalled the app.
Without the keyboard attached everything works as it should.
Thanks!
You’re not alone. I’m using the iPad Pro 2021 with the Magic Keyboard. When I use it to view Facebook comments it seems to freeze the app for sometime before the comments are viewable and the app is useable again. If I restart the iPad with the Magic Keyboard detached everything works fine. This only started happening recently. I’m using iOS 15.1.
I have the same issue with facebook. And i have and issue with photo app with my Magic Keyboard since up date 14.5 i had call apple.ca many time they have took a diagnostic of my iPad but they had not resolve my problem yet.
Same Here. No problems until recent update. Apple help is no help…they blame facebook. Removing Magic keyboard solves the problem. iPad and Facebook work fine when it is disconnected from the keyboard…..Apple moderators are not listening to us…..ITS THE IOS UPDATE AND MAGIC KEYBOARD! HELLO
Just adding my own experience of the same problem. None of the offered solutions change the behavior or bug. The only way to navigate on Facebook once iOS 15 is installed is to remove the iPad from the keyboard. If I don’t, it will hang FB every time.

That's interesting! There are lots of postings here from people whose Space bar does not work right in various apps, and for them the fix is usually to turn OFF Full Keyboard Access.
I would like to know if you have the same issues with the photo app and your Magic Keyboard that i have
Photos app freezes when I switch between days/months/years and scroll up & down a bit. It stops responding and I have to kill & reopen it.
This only happens when Magic Keyboard is connected. I have two 11.9” iPad Pros (2019) Can’t reproduce it when the iPad is not connected to the Magic Keyboard.
I tried to scroll through the photos like you suggested and the app worked fine for me. (I did have to switch it back to turning off “full keyboard access” as that fixed the original FB problem for me so I could test your issue.) I went back to recreate my original problem and made sure FB was still an issue, which it was, and then I checked the photos and I did not have the same issue as you. Have you tried switching the keyboard access setting?
Well I did turn on “full keyboard access” and it solved the Facebook thing but whatever that function does really messed up my search typing to the point I had to turn it off. Every time i touched the space bar I’d end up with a blue rectangle around something on the screen….I guess I’ll just have to take my iPad off the keyboard if i need to comment on Facebook. I give
