I have the same issue. NO "via ios" ONLY "via mobile"

iPhone 4 - IOS 6.0.1

iPad 3rd Generation IOS 6.0.1

FB App installed both devices from Settings//Facebook/Install App using IOS FB Integration with my username/password.


Troubleshooting Done to this point -

Uninstalled FB on iPhone and reinstalled again using the FB in Settings/Facebook/Install App. Entered my username/password in Settings/Facebook.

Turned Wi-Fi off and posted using Cellular connection (says via mobile).

Turned Cellular off and posted connected to Wi-Fi (says via mobile)


Set iPad 3 back to factory default.

Reinstalled everything fresh (did not use iCloud backup).

Installed FB app from Settings/Facebook/Install App. and entered username/password in Settings/Facebook.

Turned Wi-Fi off and posted using 4G cellular connection. (says via mobile)

Turned 4G Cellular off and posted via Wi-Fi (says via mobile)


ALL of my posts from both devices show as being "via mobile". This is extremely frustrating since everyone else in the world seems to post status/comments/pictures/etc from their iPhones and iPads and get the "via IOS" except me.


At first I thought maybe it was an iPhone 4 issue, but the iPad 3 is the newest version of iPad and even it says "posted via mobile" instead of "ios".

Regardless - After troubleshooting, I got FB to post my posts showing "via IOS" like they do on everyone elses iPhones and iPads even though Tim says it wont.


In IOS 6.0.1 If your having this issue, slide down from the top of your screen on iPhone or iPad to get to your 'notificiations' screen. At the top of your notifications are 2 buttons. One says "tap to tweet" the other says "tap to post" and has a FB icon.


Click "tap to post" that has the FB icon, type your message and it WILL show up on your wall as "posted via IOS".


Problem solved!!!!
