    • Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device’s Summary page.
    • Uninstall the Facebook app completely by holding your finger down on the Facebook icon until it starts shaking then clicking the (X) that appears on the top left of the box.
  • Once Facebook is uninstalled, go back into the App Store and download the app again.
