I cant delete my facebook account on the new IOS.

Whoever tested the new IoS for ipad failed in spotting a bug in Settings.


I added a Facebook account in Settings, it sucessfully said "Welcome Caro. Add password"

However I decided to use a different facebook account. I tried to delete the account I attemped to add and nothing happens.

The delete functionality does not work.


I tried to add a password but now it says failed no connect.


Now I am stuck as nothing seems to work.


Any ideas where can I report it or do something to repair?


I tried:

- including the old password

- restoring the entire system

- deleting the app


Thank you

iPad mini Wi-Fi + Cellular (MM), iOS 7.0.2

Ok I'm not sure if there is some confusion here or not. The Facebook App you can download and install isn't the same as the Facebook section that appears in Settings>Facebook.



Basically if you enter a User Name & Password under Settings>Facebook this will allow you to use Siri for example to make a post to facebook, to really interact with Facebook you would have to download and install the App for all the features.


If you have uninstalled the App and then re-install it, it should ask you to enter the User Name & Password so you can then use the app with the required account.

Hi Steve, thank you for your reply.

I do understand they are two different things, as I can use the app itself. However if I want to use Pinterest App connected by Facebook, or if I want to share a photo directly with Facebook I cant because the Settings does not recognise my facebook.


I am stuck in the screen "Please add the Facebook for the Facebook Account CARO" - then theres a field to add password or option to Delete the account. Neither of them work.


Password field retrieves "Cannot connect to server" and the Delete account doesnt do anything.



I appreciate your time responding to me, but I still think it's a bug and I hope I can pass through it somehow.


A step to replicate is:

Go to Settings, delete the facebook account you have at the moment

add another account, and do not include password or include the wrong password.

The name will be attached to the settings and display "Please add password for XXXX"

Now click 'Delete account". Nothing happens...


Thanks again for your reply

Hi Caro,


I didn't have my Facebook details in but I've entered them, then deleted them then entered the same account again with the wrong password, was told it was incorrect. I then tapped the Twitter section above Facebook on the left hand side of settings and tapped in to Facebook again, the email address I'd entered was there so deleted this, repeated the tapping in to Twitter then back in to Facebook and then had a blank user name and password field, so I don't think I've managed to replicate this issue.


I presume from what you say is the username field already filled in?


Regards,



Steve

I have the same issue. My account name is incorrect and there is no option to change it. My password doesn't match my account as it is indeed different. The 'delete account' button doesn't work. I have pressed it many times but nothing happens. I'm stuck without the use of Facebook throughout my iPad. Very annoying. Any help Ian appreciated.

I have tried the changing to the twitter account and back but it doesn't bring back the option to change the account name.

Hi Lizdance40, I have changed my email address and therefore my login account name in Facebook. On the iPad I have logged in with these new credentials, no problem that all works fine. I have been palying a game that uses the facebook credentials from the settings on the iPad. The game couldn't connect to facebook so I ahve been trying all sorts to make it work:

- I have deleted the Facebook app from the iPad by holding the home button and clicking the cross. Then I installed it again using the button in the settings logged in and the app works fine still but the credentials under the setting still do not work.

- The delete button under settings doesn't work

- Under settings there is no option to change the account details apart from filling in the password which doesn't match the account name.


Any suggestions are welcome but I don't want to loose my Facebook account.

Hi rpappu, Th app can't connect to Facebook so I can't login or out. I can't play the game at all as it requires connection to Facebook. I can't unauthorise the game app from the settings because I can't login there either. I may have to refer back to default settings. That's such a waste of time to get it all to work the way I set it up though. 😟

I cant delete my facebook account on the new IOS.
