Someone in the forum told me that an 'insider' in either FB or Apple told them to open up the Messenger app. And, while that was open to then login to my Facebook app...and it worked!!! I'd love to know if it works for you.

That is the current workaround until Meta provides an update to fix the problem with Facebook. They have a poor track record when it comes to bug fixes especially those found on the iPad.

Brand new Ipad10. Facebook downloaded just fine. But it will not accept my password for the app. It signs me in just fine on the website. But the app keeps saying "try again." I've deleted it from the tablet and reinstalled; presumably the app store has the latest update. But nope. Have rebooted the Ipad. Nope.


Pain in the neck to always have to go to the browser. Anyone else having this particular problem?

Has this been resolved

on an iPhone 11 and since I went to iOS 18 it’s broken my phone basically with Apple support telling me my phone is now out of warranty.

camera app no longer works

flashlight app not working and now Facebook when I go onto marketplace after seeing a few items it freezes


really not happy with iOS 18-

the forced attempt to get me to buy a new Apple phone is doing more to get me to get out of the Apple ecosystem

I'm not sure what that has to do with Facebook not working.

Facebook's apps on iOS have been working erratically for about two years.
