Facebook app crashes on my iPad after updating to iOS 18.4

I have 2 ipads (A2925 and A2377) and the Facebook app is unuseable on both of them after updating to 18.4. As soon as I open Facebook, it either shuts back down, or if it is able to load, it will shut down as soon as I begin to scroll. The facebook app is up to date. I have also done a force restart on both iPads. It was working fine before the update.


The app IS working on my iPhone 15 Pro Max, but not at all on both iPads. Is this happening to anyone else? Is there a solution?

One of Meta’s almost daily updates (“to make the app better for you” 😉) seems to have introduced a bug which makes Facebook crash - for me, usually when I use the search feature. The issue arose some time after I updated to iPadOS18.4.

Same thing happening to me since updating to IOS 18.4. Really annoying, but a bit of a relief to know it’s happening to others and not just a fault my end. I have just installed the latest facebook update and was hoping it would be fixed, but still doing it. Argh 😬

Deleting, reinstalling, restarting, clearing Facebook history are all just temporary fixes. It keeps happening.

Meta hasn't seemed to be able to get the FB app on the iPad to work reliably for well over a year. I suggest you use a browser until they figure it out.
