I just updated my Facebook app to the newest version (10.something) and as soon as it finished downloading- the icon removed itself from my home screen and now the app won't open. It's still available to "OPEN" (as opposed to the download cloud) in my Purchased apps but nothing happens when I hit it.
I have restarted, done a hard reset (pressed both buttons), and reset all settings from the Settings menu. I have an iPhone 4s and am running iOS 7.0.4
