Using Facebook on Apple Mini iPad6

Try to use Safari to access the content instead of the app. (Or another browser of your choice)

Facebook’s app has been a buggy mess for years, and unfortunately for your situation, issues with apps are the developers’ issues to fix, not apple’s. (Given FB’s response time, finding a work around - such as using a browser - may be more expedient than waiting for them to get around to fixing their coding issue)

Many thanks for your reply which I found helpful but the content is supplied by Facebook so unlikely I could not find it elsewhere using Safari

You can absolutely log into Facebook using Safari. As the app is such a mess, it's the only way I ever log into FB from my iPhone or iPad (on the very rare occasions I'm forced to do so).

Idris is correct. I only access FB via safari. You’re basically accessing it like someone one on a computer.

As to accessing help, poke around in the settings. As far as I know there is not any sort of live support….you fill out a feedback form and that’s usually it. I’ve never received a response to any of my feedback - hence why I just go for workarounds.

Issues with apps need to be resolved by the app developer. Apple will not get involved (unless it’s something really really bad, like a fraudulent app)

Stranger and weird, just logged into Facebook on my iPad using another id and password and clicking on Watch, lo and behold videos in full screen, which I take means my login is faulty in some way, how can that effect Facebook? Any suggestions please.

Are you saying you used a different FB log in and it works? Well, then use that one.

My only other suggestion, which I doubt will be useful, is to stop using Facebook. In my opinion, it's not worth the cost.

You cannot download iPad versions of apps from the Google Play Store.

For what it's worth, the Facebook app is frequently implicated in more rapid battery draining on iOS devices.

It's highly unlikely that it's the iPad. It seems to be a sort of standard operating procedure in general technical support areas that they blame Apple.

You can only add apps to your iPad from the App Store. You can't transfer the app from another device.

Sorry, it really sounds like an FB issue.

Best of luck.
