After updating iPhone 14 to iOS 18.6 I can no longer open comments on posts in Facebook

After updating iPhone 14 to 18.6 I can no longer open comment on posts in Facebook. I get the message " This page is no longer available" I have the latest version of Facebook, have turned the phone off then back on. My wife has an iPhone 14 and did not update it and her's works fine.

Perhaps a long shot:


Do you have a 3rd party VPN installed, even if you are not using it? If so, delete the VPN profile in Settings/General/VPN & Device Management/VPN, then restart your device. Don't just turn it off; delete the profile. If that fixes it, you can try reinstalling VPN, but probably shouldn't.


Other than that, contact Facebook support (if you can find them)

Also note that Meta has updated Facebook 3 times in just the last week. One thing you can count on with Meta is that when they send out an update to fix a problem, you can expect that update to include a completely different problem. The next update is always a few days away in this never ending saga of trying to make Facebook bug free without any glitches. Have you verified that both you and your wife are using the same version of Facebook? Multiple devices do not always update apps at the same time even when set to Automatic Updates.

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.



Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!



Was/Is your device Jailbroken? If that's the situation, please be informed that attributing the issues to iOS updates may not be accurate.



iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.
