Cannot log out of Facebook properly on iOS 6.

Hi,

I've got iOS 6.0.1 on my iPad 2 and before the update I found logging out on Facebook perfectly fine. However, after logging out with the update, the app says 'You are logged in as...' and below, I can press continue to proceed to my Facebook account. I've looked at Settings to see if I can logout from there, but I can't find anything. So is there a way I can make it so that I have to input my password to log in? It's quite an issue for me as multiple people use my iPad.

Thanks!

iPad 2, iOS 6.0.1

Identical problem. Can log out on my iPhone with iOS 6, but not iPad2 even after rebooting.

I have the exact problem on both my iPad 2 and my iPhone. At first is was just my iPad 2 but then a day or two later the exact same thing happened with my iPhone 4S. Both are updated to iOS 6.0.1. Like SammyNasa I want to be able to completely log out and require a password before opening up the app again.

Here is what the screen looks like when you are unable to log out. This looks the same on both the iPhone and iPad.

Found a fix! You must go to Settings, then to the Facebook settings page. Here you can delete your account, but this only deletes it from the device (as verified when it asks you to confirm the decision, with something like 'Do you want to delete your account from this device' showing up in a small window). Then, you are asked if you would like to merge your account or not. I chose to merge, which took a few minutes to finish. From then on I was asked my password when logging into Facebook.

Go to the Setting app.

Go to Facebook option.

On the right-hand side, under "Allow These Apps to Use Your Account", set Facebook to OFF.

This fixes the problem (I had it too) but I don't know if it creates any down-side.
