Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
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.
Forums like this, run by the corporations that make the products which have the problems. They rely on unpaid customers and badge rewarded super-users to exchange ad-hoc solutions whilst the real cause is ignored, sometimes for months, years or forever. It provides the illusion of customer support but really it’s cheap distraction. If Apple releases an update which messes with functionality for another of their products then the ideal customer solution is that they address it themselves. Are they too important to bother with such trivial matters? Or not resourced enough? Two trillion seems like it would be enough. Instead customers fumble around in the dark like peasants until Lord Corporate deigns to pay them the least concern and, let me guess, you’re going to tell me to be grateful for the opportunity.
All major corporations seem to be the same unfortunately with the first line of help always being fellow users - Microsoft is the same.
However in this case it eventually seemed the problem was with Facebook & not the iOS 15 update.
Yep, the same with Adobe, probably the worst of them all. Doesn’t mean we have to like it, we are after all, the ones who pay for the products. Using the forum they provide us to solve our own issues to complain about the policy seems entirely fitting to me. You’ll find there a trained/motivated users who are tasked with shutting down such ‘unhelpful’ discussions too.
Funny, the problem didn’t exist before the update and yet it’s not the fault of the update.
I agree. Apple do have customer support if the forums can’t help. With Microsoft it seems all their support phone numbers now point to use to their forums.
It is certainly strange then problem appeared with iOS 15 but was fixed by Facebook. That surprised me too as I believed it was an Apple problem.
Remove space bar from Activate field in accessibility - full keyboard access - commands.

I hated the way keyboard had blue lines and blue highlighting when I did the steps for the all access keyboard.

Yes I have the same issue. Turning full accessibility on fixes facebook but breaks the space bar.

Under commands in the under Keyboard, clear spacebar command. You still wind up with occasional blue lines.
