Why is Facebook Marketplace showing a white page on iPad Pro running iPadOS 18.3.1?

When I’m on Facebook and go to Marketplace i get a white page everything else works ok. If I go and clear the open sites on my destop I can get into marketplace once, then when I come back to the desk top and try going back to marketplace I get the blank white page again. Need help on this one thanks

Someone on another thread for the same issue gave a remedy that works When you get the dreaded white page turn your iPad in the opposite direction that you are using to browse then back again and FB Marketplace will reappear. As an example, I use my iPad in landscape mode, I turn it to portrait mode then back to landscape and it reappears. Much easier/quicker fix until Facebook or Apple fixes this bug. Hope this helps other people. PS. I am using iOS 18.3.2

Same here. Started about a week ago. Ok on my iphone, not working on my new iPad. Solution please Apple.


Apple can't fix an issue with Facebook Apps.


Facebook currently have a number of issues with their Apps for iPad and iPhone - and, unfortunately, Meta (that owns Facebook) have a particularly poor record of timely fixes for issues of their own making.


You (and others) need to contact Meta Support - and vent your frustration there.

Here is a fix not as convenient but it works every time, forget the ap on the desktop go into Safari sign in to Facebook.com save it in your favorites and it will create a ap in there and it will work every time, the only inconvenience you have to go into Safari to open it hope this helps everyone until hopefully a fix comes for the ap. You all have a wonderful day.

Folks, this totally works on my IPad Pro! Click on your FB Marketplace icon and go to the white page. Make sure the screen unlock is on, then turn your screen to landscape view and back to portrait view (or vice versa if you normally use landscape orientation). The normal MarketPlace page will appear. (It becomes a pain to keep doing this, but at least you can see the page.

I think you may be asking in the wrong place. When I web-search for:


facebook marketplace blank page


I get lots of hits going back several years, and some how-to-fix pages as well. They all suggest this is a Facebook issue and not an iPad/Apple issue, as some of the entries are about this issue happening on Android devices.


This page seems to have some useful suggestions to try:

FaceBook is not an Apple company. If the steps in the linked article do not help, I strongly recommend contacting FB Marketplace support:

Apple please put a fix out for this problem.


FYI, Apple won't see comment in these user-to-user forums. Use this feedback link instead:


Feedback - iPad - Apple


to place your concern before an Apple employee.


However, as much as we can hope Apple can help, from the dawn of the personal computer age it has been software developers who must make their products work on the platforms they wish to support, not the other way around.


The fact the I found similar frustration from Android users of FB Marketplace says that Apple cannot even access the code that causes it, but FB can, if they bother to do so.
