Facebook app crashes on iphone 5

I have a new iPhone 5, activated last week.  The Facebook app crashes after about 10 seconds everytime I login on my account.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled more times that I can count, I have deleted and added back using iTunes, I have changed my Facebook password,  I have rebooted the phone numerous times, I have deleted and added back accounts, I have spent hours with Verizon and Apple techs, not to mention techs where I purchased the phone, I have reported the problem to Facebook numerous times (but, of course, they have not responded0, and I even (on Verizon's advice) returned and exchanged the phone for a new one.  Upon activation of the new phone, the facebook app crashed immediately.  Last night a tech suggested I logout of my account and log back in using a different account.  I did this with two different Facebook accounts and they both worked perfectly.  When I logged out and logged back in on my account, it crashed.  I have mirrored the account settings on one of the Facebook accounts that worked and that did not help.  ANY advice would be appreciated.  Is it a bad setting in my Facebook account?   Should I do a hard reset of the phone? Should I deactivate my Facebook account and reactivate?  Please help.

  • Facebook App crashing on IPhone and IPad

    I have an IPhone 4S and IPad 3.  I have upgraded to IOS 6 on both devices and also have updated with the latest Facebook app.  However, every time I update my Status in Facebook using the app, the app crashes on both devices.  When I reopen the app, the update that I tried to post shows up twice in my News feed but as best I can tell, it is only posting once to Facebook.
    Can anyone help me out with this?  I have already tried deleting and reinstalling the app, but that does not seem to work.
    Thanks in advance!!

    doesn't matter what iphone you have, the issue isn't your phone, but with facebook, either contact the app devloper or look at their support site to troubleshoot.  Or leave them a review stating your issue.

    Hi, I cant login to the facebook app on my iphone 5 ios 6.0.2.  I keep getting an error message saying 'There was an error logging in using single sign on' when im asked to log in again i get a 'session expired' message.  This only started happening yesterday. Anyone else having this problem? Thanks.

    I am having the same problem and took the following steps to mitigate it to no avail.
    1. I deleted the Facebook app on the phone and turned off Facebook in the iPhone's system-wide settings.
    2. I re-enabled Facebook in the iPhone's system-wide settings and reinstalled the Facebook app and logged in again. It worked. For about an hour.
    3. I completely restored the phone to a previous backup (before the problems started) and reenabled Facebook .... reinstalled the app.... and now it works intermittenly. But it hasn't worked in about 12 hours now (just tried a few minutes ago).
    Please advise.

  • The Facebook app on my iPhone 4s no longer works

    Two days ago my Facebook app on my iPhone 4s stop working.  I deleted it and downloaded it but it still is not working.  Is there a fix for this?

    Do you have the current FaceBook app version installed?
    Any change after a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?
    If not, any change after deleting and reinstalling the app?

    You may have a chance if you still have the app in your iTunes library.

  • I removed facebook app from my iphone. how do i restore it?

    i removed facebook app from my iphone. how do i restore it?

    You should be able to restore it by going into the app store, then into the "purchased" section (along the bottom of the screen), and finally redownloading it to your phone by clicking on the app icon in the list of purchased apps.

  • Why can i not download facebook app to my iphone 3

    Why can i not download the facebook app to my iphone 3g

    Because it won't run/install on an iPhone 3G. You need to purchase a new phone if you want to use apps like Facebook.

  • Newsdesk app crashes on iPhone and iPad

    Newsdesk app crashes on iphone 5 and ipad mini.
    Only crashes when started on Sci Tech or shen Sci Tech is selected.
    Works fine in World News and Entertainment categories.
    Deleted, reinstalled, rebooted, etc.  Still have problem.
    I have used this app for many years.  This happened in the last 24 hours.
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Alan

    3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is not stored with the app. Each app has its own "sandbox" available on the device where the app settings and data created and stored by the app is stored. If you delete an app from your iPhone or iPad, this also deletes the app's "sandbox".
    3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is included with your iPhone's backup and with your iPad's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process for each device with the backup for each device stored separately on your computer. 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is not synced. When installing an app on your iPad that is currently installed on your iPhone, this does not include the settings and data created by the app on your iPhone with the app's installation on your iPad, and vice-versa.

  • IPhone 5 Updating Status on Facebook App crash

    Does anyone using iPhone 5 experience Facebook crashing after updating status on the Facebook app? I have FB integration on and this always happens after i update my status under News Feed. ANYONE???

    have you seen anyone with the apple logo on facebook recently? i'm asking because a simple google search will tell you that facebook is the one blocked the apple logo, or the 'posted from iphone' from showing up. now you've got me wondering.

  • I recently updated my iPhone to version 7.0.4. After that my facebook app crashes much often and the problem of freezing is also increased. How to solve that? Help!!

    Most recently, I updated my iOS version to 7.0.4. After that, my facebook app often gets crashed and even though I re-install it, the problem persists. And also, the phone freezes much often. I am really afraid that my device is damaged or engulfed with bugs. How can I solve this? Help please!!

    Time to update to iOS 7.0.6.

  • My Facebook App crashes everytime I open it on my IPAD 2. How do you fix that?

    I have reset my IPad 2 several times. Reloaded the most current IOS for the IPAD and Facebook. Facebook still crashes everytime I open it. I had the same problem on my Iphone 4 but reverted to the previous Facebook version and it works. I tried that on my Ipad but it doesn't work. Any one know how to fix this? Facebook won't respond at all when I submit the problem to them.

    Here's a few things I try when an app misbehaves and crashes.
    1. Quit the app and restart it like this: Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it work like normal.
    2. If the first suggestion did not work try quitting the app again but instead of restarting it right away, reset your device like this: Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. Ten restart the app and see if it works.
    3. If neither of the previous suggestions worked I suggest deleting the app by tapping and holding on the app until it jiggles and displays a Rex X. Tap the X and confirm that you want to delete the app. Then reset your device. After the device has restarted go to the App Store and download Facebook again.
    If all these fail you might just have to search for an alternative app until Facebook fixes the problem.

  • Facebook app crashes immediately upon opening

    For some reason, I can not open Facebook app on iPhone or iPad .it crashes and closes immediately upon opening. Any ideas?

    Facebook is the app that crashes the most but others do it as well. I found out that I was having a problem because I took the phone in to a 'genius' as my batterey life seemed short. The genius plugged my phone in to some diagnostic gadget and informed me of these crashes, told me that some apps might be corrupted and that I would need to restore the phone. I wasn't properly prepared to hand it over to him right then & there so told him I'd be back once I had done a backup.
    I called AppleCare to see if this restoration was something that I could do on my own as it seemed to involve corrupt apps.
    Meanwhile I should state that when an app begins to act up I delete it from the phone and re-download it from the store. This seems to work for a bit.
    Here is where, as an old time Mac user I begin to rant a little. I keep my Macs spic and span. What is the deal that Apple hasn't provided a utility for keeping one's iPhone 'clean'? This annoys me. I will know just how annoyed once I put my call into a genius and find out what it's going to take to get my phone running smoothly again.

  • Facebook app crashing

    Yesterday, the Facebook app is crashing on my iPhone. Tap the FB icon and the screen pops up with a blank white page with the FB blue line along the top - no text anywhere, then closes (crashes) after 2 seconds. Nothing has changed on the iPhone recently - this FB app crash happened all of a sudden.
    iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1
    FB app version 89182
    Steps already taken:
    Deleted FB app, turned off/on phone, reinstalled app (no change).
    Deleted FB app, turned off phone, logged into FB via computer, reset password, reinstalled FB app on iPhone (no change).
    Any other suggestions? We're not ready to upgrade the iPhone to iOS 6.1, though that may fix the issue - not sure. Odd that it happened all-of-a-sudden.
    Paul

    The exact same problem is happening to my iPhone as well.  Tried all steps, nothing worked.  When browsing the files used/created by the Facebook application (in the backup folder) I found a file named "error" with the following contents:

    Looks like it's an app-related problem?
