Updated app, deleted and reinstalled and still won’t open FB
Updated app, deleted and reinstalled and still won’t open FB
Any news on how to fix this issue? my iPhone 12 when using the Facebook app is currently not loading content or if it does it loads 3 to 4 posts in the feed and nothing more, it even repeats the same post over and over after refreshing and restarting the phone/ app/ updating app. Also to note same thing happening on my MAC laptop in safari web browser.
I bought an iPad Air yesterday and have been trying to login on the Facebook app today and it will not work. November 5, 2024. My new iPad updated with iOS 18.
I can still get on Facebook on my other devices. I hope there is a fix for this soon. I had thought it was a Facebook problem, but perhaps not because I have done everything possible, including clearing the case, reinstalling, Facebook app, rebooting my Wi-Fi and rebooting my new iPad, etc. I even change my password and closed out of all my accounts on Facebook. Nothing helped. If someone knows of a fix, please share it here
Got the fix from a genius at apple support. Off load or delete the Facebook app and the messenger app. Then upload the messenger app only. Open it. Then upload the Facebook app, login and you should be in business.
Didn’t work, FB still won’t load completely
I am having the same problem except zero posts on my feed. I’ve rebooted phone, reinstalled app, taken it to a friend of mine who fixes computers and phones for a living and we cannot get it to work.

Someone in the forum told me that an 'insider' in either FB or Apple told them to open up the Messenger app. And, while that was open to then login to my Facebook app...and it worked!!! I'd love to know if it works for you.
That is the current workaround until Meta provides an update to fix the problem with Facebook. They have a poor track record when it comes to bug fixes especially those found on the iPad.
Hello all! I was able to restore my Facebook after the latest update and getting a new phone. I opened Messenger as others have said here, but that didn't help.
My facebook icon was dark and non-responsive. I pressed and held it, and a menu came up. I chose to give downloading top priority. After about three minutes, it was there! So try this!
Did you follow the directions carefully?
Perhaps a long shot, but a very common cause of communication failures:
Do you use VPN? If so, delete the VPN profile in Settings/General/VPN & Device Management/VPN. Don't just turn it off; delete the profile.
the fix about Messenger and then FB did not work. My problem is not in downloading it. The icon sits there nice and bright. My problem is that it refuses to take my password. Messenger takes its password. Facebook app doesn't.
Well, if FB doesn't want me having eyes on its ads, I guess that's their problem.
You will have to get help from Facebook support. That is not an Apple product.
Facebook just had another update today to go along with the 12 they have had in the last month. They have also had the beta version of iOS 18 for 3 months to make sure their app will work correctly. If you are experiencing any problems with the Facebook app, then contact them using their Help Center.
The only thing that you can do is delete/reinstall or restart your device, other than that, it will be Facebook that will have to resolve any problems.
Brand new Ipad10. Facebook downloaded just fine. But it will not accept my password for the app. It signs me in just fine on the website. But the app keeps saying "try again." I've deleted it from the tablet and reinstalled; presumably the app store has the latest update. But nope. Have rebooted the Ipad. Nope.
Pain in the neck to always have to go to the browser. Anyone else having this particular problem?
Yes, EVERYONE else who uses Facebook; it is a major bug in Facebook. However, there is a workaround posted earlier in this thread that you must have missed in reviewing the thread before posting. Here is a link to it→Facebook won't launch after iOS 18 update - Apple Community
