Verify that the most current version of the facebook app is installed.

Basic troubleshooting for iDevices is reset, restart, restore.


Beyond that...address it with facebook. Personally, I've never had reliable notifications from the facebook app.

Facebook tries to push people to the App, so using the Safari version probably has been deprecated by Facebook.


Have you checked notifications to make sure that you've got everything set right? Go to Settings>Notifications>Facebook. Make sure it's in the Notification Center (you can toggle that). Make sure that all the types of notifications have been set (Badge App, Sounds, etc.).

Not apples fault either but why would my friends

iPhone work but not mine. They are the same model purchased

A week apart.


They also couldn't get my led notification flash to work.

The genius who was helping me realized that her iPhone led

Flash didnt Work either.


She said its an obvious software issue and that apple will

Have to release an update to fix it.


I won't hold my breathe on that.
