Facebook won't launch after iOS 18 update

I’ve tried ALL of these suggestions and nothing has worked. And it won’t even open on the browser, this is so frustrating and annoying.

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?

Hello, my Facebook is suspended. I want to recover my Facebook account.

Nothing Apple can do about that. You will have to ask Meta if they will give you access to your account. It is their service and their choice.

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

• Are you using a VPN on your phone/tablet?
• Have you tried deleting Messenger and downloading it again?
• If you have Facebook also installed, delete both of them and start with downloading Messenger first and testing.

It is not unusual for Facebook to not have a resolution as they are known for their poor support. If there is a bug in the app, it will need to be updated by Meta. They have had 9 updates in the last month to fix bugs, so that is something they are very familiar with.

Facebook won’t launch after my iOS 18 update

Thanks for posting the fix, it worked a treat.

I tried this fix, but it does not work for me. Facebook opens and immediately closes.

Make sure you have the most recent Facebook app update. Otherwise contact the developer to report issues. You can also try deleting the app and reinstalling or even try restarting your device. I have had no issues with the app in iOS 18 or iPadOS 18.

Facebook will need to solve this problem. When you are logged into your account, it is the Facebook servers that will log you out. When you said you tried contacting Facebook, did they actually reply to you?

Facebook offers 2 ways to stop using their service. If you closed your account, it cannot be reactivated, and if you disabled your account then follow the steps here to reactivate it. You will need to this on their website using Safari or another web browser. If you need further help with your Facebook account, then you will need to contact them for assistance.

Not unusual with Facebook. They just had another update to their app yesterday to go along with the 13 updates they have had in the last month. Their latest update says:

We've improved performance, fixed bugs, resolved crashes and added support or iOS18!

If you still experience trouble and have already removed the app and downloaded it again, then you will need to wait for another update. Based on their history, there will be another shortly as they seem to add 2 problems for every one they fix. It is clear they are relying on their users to be bug testers as they don't seem to be testing it themselves.

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 for love nor money. As I’m struggling with mental health and live alone this is my way to keep in contact with friends and it’s really not helping matters
