Facebook app question

Hey guys,
Trying to get the Facebook app to display my pic on the home screen (login screen) of the app. When you sign in the first time, it used to create a "button" with your profile pic and name. You tap it to log in. Well, it works for everyone else, but for me, it's just a generic pic, and says "Facebook user." I've tried deleting & re-downloading the app, checking my FB settings, but can't get it to work. Anyone else have is problem? Any ideas?
Thanks!

This doesn't answer your question but I find the Facebook app to be pretty poor, much better using the actual site through Safari in my opinion. You don't get notifications through the app do you?

Facebook app questions

I have just a few questions: I have the iphone 5 and I'm curious if anyone knows what the default facebook notification sound is in ios6 because I've read where its the tri-tone, but I've recently got a message and it's not that tone. Is it also possible to change that notification tone?
How many people have been having issues receiving notifications period because mine seem to not work at all all of a sudden.

I have an Apple Iphone 3G which I use as an Ipod...which has the 4.2 operating system. I had to 'restore' it and now it won't let me download the Facebook app...says I need to upgrade to a 4.3 system. Any help you can provide me with that?

Hi...I am new to this site and it looks like I posted the question in the subject box...my bad.
I have an Iphone 3G which is used as an ipod (phone service plans are too expensive).
I had some apps on it, Facebook being one of them. The device was goins soooo slow (not even 2G of the available 6 being used) so I did as instructed and backed it up, restored it and then put the info back into it. When I tried to download the Facebook app...it said that I had a 4.2.1 system and needed a 4.3 something system? Can anyone provide any help on this or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you in advance

Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.

TS1702 How can I delete my frozen Facebook APP?

My Facebook App on my iphone is stalled in the update mode. How can I delete and restore?

Actually Brooke, iTunes did that for additional Security purposes. It's not corruption. If iTunes is corrupt, they could've not entitled customers for refund when the customers does not want what they bought. If you're going to delete the account, all of your purchases will be gone. The security questions are originally set-up by you. If you can't remember setting them up, iTunes would likely ask you three questions. If it is asking you 3 questions, it means it's asking you to setup the questions now. If it's asking you 2 questions, it means it has been configured by YOU before. Go to appleid.apple.com to manage your apple id and see if you have a rescue email address where you can easily send the reset security questions email.

Is there a way to track the Facebook app search history?

I've been trying to see if I can follow my son's search results in the Facebook app. There are questionable sites I prefer him not to search out. I can shut off the app and just have him use safari and track his movements that way, but would rather just use the app.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Just click on:
https://me.com/find/
and enter your ID. When it locates your iPod, it will allow you to turn on an alarm signal on your iPod which should let you find it.

Iphone facebook chat question

I just bought the iphone 4 yesterday so i really dont know much about it. the question i have is with the facebook chat is there a way for the chat to save on there. cuz i was talkin to someone and than went to the main screen and went back in when they wrote back and what we previously talked about was gone. is there a way to save the chat on there. or exit the facebook app without closing it?

I'm not entirely clear on what exactly you are asking. I'll help you as best I can.
If you are in FB and get a vibration (someone initiated chat) and you go to the FB menu page and tap chat and enter the conversation you are chatting with that person. You can then tap the FB menu button and do other things like check your newsfeed/friends' pages/your profile, etc. As you are doing so you can continue to toggle between the chat and other functions within FB and your chat should remain.
However, I've noticed that if I press the home button and "close" FB and then return to FB...the chat is gone. My assumption would be it clears the previous chat out in order to not slow the iPhone down with multiple tasks constantly being performed without user interaction.
While the iPhone 4 multitasks, I don't believe you can actually "close" FB and return to the program to your previous chat.
**By close, I do not mean to log out of fb...just tapping the home button and being taken back to your home screen.
Does this answer your question?

Iphone 4 with latest OS keeps crashing when I open facebook app can someone advise?

My iphone 4 with latest OS keeps crashing when I open facebook app can someone advise? This is only happeining in the last few days I cannot use facebook on my iphone it crashes and slows down our network/wifi, is this a problem with facebook (latest version downloaded) or OS which is 6.1.3 - anyone any solutions? Thanks

First thing to try is to reset your device. 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. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't work quit the Facebook app. 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 jiggles 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 delete the Facebook app and download it again.

I bought an IPad 1 from my sister, she got a new one. Now I need to find the Facebook app for ios 5. Can somebody help me to find it?

I bought an IPad1 from my sister, she got à new one. Now I am searching for the facebookapp for ios5. Can someone help me? My sister hasselt cleaned the IPad with fabricinstallation so everything is gone. We realized only after that we have done that it was not clever to do so. There are no old apps available in the AppStore. Therefore my question. I need the Dutch version.
Thanks in advance!

By third party I mean apps like Facely or other apps for facebook that weren't made by facebook.
Just search the App Store for facebook apps, then read the specs and see which ones may have a larger backwards compatibility that will work for your device.
If you can't find one you can still access facebook at www.facebook.com and use safari.

Autofill password Facebook app??

So I created a new Facebook password on my laptop and I selected the option of Apple creating a password that would work across all of my devices. When I go to my iPhone 5 Facebook app, the password field is empty and the app is expecting me to type it in? How do I get it to autofill? It was supposed to be automatic across all of my devices but my phone is expecting me to type it in. Luckily, I screen shot the new password but how do I get the autofill to work?

I don't use it myself so I could be wrong about this but if my memory is correct it is designed to work for websites and not for Apps. There is more information in the following: Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
On edit: I just noticed the following from that link -- so it may be a question of whether Facebook has done that:
Does iCloud Keychain work with third-party apps?
Yes. Developers can update their apps to work with iCloud Keychain. Passwords saved by those apps are kept up to date on all devices that use the app and are using iOS 7.0.3 or later or OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later.

Mad about facebook app.

I am kinda upset about the facebook app. I did not know it would add all my friends on facebook to my contact list. I don't even talk to these people except on facebook. So my question is is there a way to remove these contacts without removing them for my facebook friends list I removed the App from my phone thinking it would remove them from my contacts list but it didn't work.I also tried to remove the contact by just removing it but the phone said "facebook profile can not be deleted", Total {word filter avoidance}
Thanks for any help in advance

Thanks for your response wushu2004 its what I was looking for. Well not really because I did not want to lose All my facebook contacts(I do have a few friends on facebook that I call). I was hoping to be able to just delete contacts that I don't call.
Thanks again for your response

Facebook App - cant see friends friends

I am unable to see my friends friends on Facebook. When a friends page loads I see the icon for friends but once the page fully loads the friends icon disappears. I have tried to logging off and logging back on. I have removed the Facebook app twice and re-installed it. Nothing seems to work. I am able to see my friends friends if I log in through the Internet but not through the blackberry app. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I tried going onto the Facebook Help Discussion forum but there doesn't seem to be a helpful answer. It would be nice if Facebook had an open discussion forum similar to Apple Discussions but it seems like they already have pre-established questions. I can't even send a message to their Help department.
So I thought I'd give it a try on here to see if anyone can help...since there are "500 million" Facebook users out there and anyone who has a smartphone probably already has the Facebook app.

Facebook app not working on bb10 after update

Hello.
I update the facebook app to the newest update on my bb10 and not it's not working at all. The app is not showing in the icons with the F, just like a spot with unfinished icon. Can't access it, can't delete it or reinstall. What's the point having a not working app? If i would know i would keep the old version
Please, help someone.
Thank you.

Hey zuzikfuzik,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
What happens when you try to delete the application? Also what version of BlackBerry 10 are you using? Go to Settings>About to find this information. Do you get any errors when you try to re-install it from BlackBerry World?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Frequent shut down on Facebook app using iPad?? 5.1.1

Frequent shut down while on Facebook, posting comments and more frequent while upload pictures, reviewing pictures or watching streaming videos... Does anyone knows why, since I can't get any Apple support, they all moved to MARS??

This was/is a common occurrence with the older Facebook app running in iOS 5. The new app running in iOS 6 crashes rarely.
When Facebook does quit don't restart it immediately. Actually quit the app first 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 works normally.
