2:  Clear the cache

As soon as you open an app on Android, it begins saving data, which might cause poor app performance or even misbehaviour. Clearing the cache might help you free up space on your device or repair an app that isn’t working correctly.

Make sure you understand what it means to change the app to default before clearing the cache with certain applications or by going to Settings > Application, tapping Facebook, and then tapping the “Clear cache” option on Android.

2:  Check network connection

Make sure you’re inside the range of the router while you’re utilizing WIFI. Try resetting your router or modem, unplugging it, then plugging it back in if the signal is gone. Reset network settings if your device is unable to connect to the Internet, but others are able to.

On Android, click Settings –> LocateBackup & Reset, and choose “Network Settings” to clear your device’s network settings.

On an iPhone, go to SettingsGeneralsReset – Reset and touch “Reset Network Settings“.

3:  Make use of Facebook’s mobile web browser

If your Facebook app isn’t compatible with the most recent iOS version, don’t wait to update it. Some iOS 15.3 users have complained that the Facebook app won’t load images anymore.

Try this workaround if you’re having trouble logging into your Facebook account using the FB app because of an issue. Use your Mobile Browser [Safari] or Any Other iPhone Browser, and the Fb User experience is the same as App UI.

So, that’s quite handy to use Facebook sometimes in Browser. Also, if your Facebook password is kept in Keychain, you may instantly log in to your Facebook account.

Reset your iPhone or Android device

If all software faults are excluded, now you may consider generating a backup and factory resetting your Android or iPhone to reset environment variables.
