Facebook Messenger Links Not Opening on IPad Air

It opens a screen half size. This is not what I bought an iPad for. And it was a lot of money. So I’m not pleased with that behaviour.

This worked for me also. However I can open the link with facebook and messenger both signed inat the same time my iphone.

Exactly this.

Very frustrating, I logged out of Facebook & I could view messenger too. Apple should have a fix for this (must be a bug in a newer update).

Same issue for me, except that messenger seems to hang once the small FB window displays..

I have an iPad 9th gen and the links work just fine. My wife has the recent mini and the links do not work on her mini, but they do on her iPhone SE. Go figure. Apple needs to fix this.

I also find that people can’t access anything that I share from FB in Messenger, grrrrrr

I went to the Apple Store to get some info. I got a shrug of the shoulders and an offer to by a newer gen iPad.

Big mistake.

Did anyone figure out how to fix this yet?

iOS 17 fixed this issue

Only just got 16.7 here in australia. Wonder when 17 will get here. Or if it even will.

What 17? We’re still on 16.7.1!

And then they want you to shell out $1500 for an iPhone 15… slave labour on a puny PCB…it’s rape plain and simple. And we’re painted into a corner.

Thanks! This one works. It’s weird though. I guess we just have to wait for the next update and hope Apple corrects the issue.

I don’t see any answers to this same question. Did anyone ever get a resolution to this?
