Messenger Facebook Links Wont Open 16.4.1 (iPad only)

With the latest update to 16.4.1, neither of my iPads (mini or air) will open Facebook links shared with me in messenger. I understand the OS has been changed to open within the associated apps and not the browser. Thats fine however, shared Facebook links from messenger wont open in Facebook either. The Facebook app opens to the home page and that's it. Nothing else happens.


I reinstalled both the Facebook and Messenger apps multiple times with no luck. I'm not experiencing this issue on my iPhone or desktop. Only on iPads.


Any feedback appreciated.

iPad Air

Reading all of these we all have the same issue. I’m unsure why apple cannot address this as it’s clearly an issue, plus the steps they’ve provided to resolve it do not work. It’s so frustrating especially when it’s just ignored!
