How do I address Facebook impersonation after upgrading to iOS 26?

I upgraded to iOS 26 recently and many people told me it a bad move

I did not have an issue just to learn the new set up

my security was good till today a friend called to ask if I contacted her through Facebook now which I did not

it turn out someone impersonating me

is this one of 26 security breaches

I am worried now that 26 is being pushed to us without warning of the side effects

Facebook isn't an Apple app, so no it isn't an ios 26 security breach.

Smart thing to do is change your facebook password and stop clicking on unknown links in facebook feed.

you still have issue then contact META support Facebook is their app.
