Facebook App crashing

[Vikingstad]

My facebook app keeps crashing!! Won't load or refresh, I tried to delete it and reinstall it but it still keeps doing it.

Any idea why this started happening all of a sudden? I have an i4?

Same thing happening to me...

Fine for me except when I rotate as it's opening; then it crashes to SB. A bigger issue for me with facebook is that it doesn't auto-update after spending time in saved states.

It's all over happening to everyone. I think it's a problem on facebooks side.

No word yet from Facebook on the cause of the issue or when a fix will be available.

One HuffPost reader, Martin G., wrote in with his experience and offered some speculation on what may be contributing to the app's issues:


It seems facebook app is the victim of some bad JavaScript, either because they have changed something in their dynamic content, ads or perhaps something more sinister. I have not dug into how facebook displays it's [sic] pages and I have no previous frame of reference to make a positive conclusion but what I did find is that facebook.com on the ipad safari browser reports and [sic] error a short time after loading the news feed. That same error seems to be causing the app to crash when loading the "live news" feed.

It seems to be working again.
