Sometimes if you don\u2019t have the recent or the most latest version of the app installed on your device. This could lead to errors while opening the app or using it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason which could affect the functioning could be the old processor. Sometimes when your device is old and the processor you are using is outdated, your device lags and which leads to unusual performances of various apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also been observed that the main server of Facebook\u2019s social media networking would be down.

Update your Facebook app<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using an Android device or an iOS, you must look to them whether there is any latest update of the Facebook app, if yes you must update them, so that your problem could be fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To make a manual update follow the following steps to update the app :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Connect your device to an operational internet connection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After that open the play store or the app store whichever you are using<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then click on <strong>\u201cTap Menu\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Browse through the list and you\u2019ll find the Facebook app over there<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then <strong>tap<\/strong> on <strong>Facebook<\/strong> to update the app<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s how you can update the Facebook app manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Check for your Android or iOS update<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is often been observed that due to the older version of your device, the apps running act weird all of sudden. You must update your device\u2019s OS so that it improves the functioning of the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because certain problems occur following large software upgrades, engineers quickly remedy issues with minor changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Clear Cache<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cache\u2019s are unnecessary items that get stored in your device and affect the functionality. They hold a certain amount of storage which makes the device lag. It is always advisable to remove these caches and it doesn\u2019t take that much time and effort too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow these steps to remove the cache from your device-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Open the <strong>Settings<\/strong> app on your device<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to the <strong>App management<\/strong> or <strong>App manager<\/strong> or Apps whichever is available on your device<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to the App list and browse to find the Facebook app<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then click on <strong>Storage<\/strong> <strong>usage<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You\u2019ll find the <strong>Clear Cache option<\/strong>, press it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And then reboot your device once you are done clearing the cache<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s how you can remove the cache on your device manually<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Clear App Data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearing app data is different from clearing cache. When you delete cache you just remove the unnecessary items which only consume additional storage and deleting those doesn\u2019t lead to any loss while clearing app data means, it is going to remove all the credentials from the app, which includes login data, making you logged out from the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you do that, you are using a fresh version of the app. You can log in using the app again and we guess that is something, not a big deal to re-enter the login details (only if you remember).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Follow the steps to clear the app data on your devic<\/strong>e<strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Open the <strong>settings<\/strong> app on your device<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then go to the <strong>App management <\/strong>or App manager or Apps whichever is available on your device<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then go to the <strong>App list<\/strong> and browse to find the Facebook app<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then click on the <strong>Storage<\/strong> usage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You\u2019ll find the <strong>clear<\/strong> <strong>data<\/strong> option<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tap<\/strong> on it to <strong>clear<\/strong> the app data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reboot your device once you are done doing it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s how you can clear the app data. Login using your credentials and you are good to go again<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Reinstall the App<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may remove the existing Facebook app from your smartphone and reinstall it. Because the restoration will show you the most current versions, which will have clean cache\/data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although, after the recovery is complete, you will be required to re-enter your user credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is moreover like clearing the data but in addition, you have got the most recent version of the app as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Follow the steps to reinstall the app :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>First, you need to <strong>uninstall <\/strong>the app on your device<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then go to the <strong>Play Store<\/strong> or <strong>App Store<\/strong> whichever is available on your device<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Browse through the search bar to find the Facebook app<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the App and <strong>install<\/strong> it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Login your user credentials and enjoy surfing again<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Reset the Device Factory Settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes when you modify the system settings on your device, it affects the functioning of various apps. Some apps might take time to load while some might crash while you are on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To fix this issue you must reset the factory settings to the default. This will change all the modifications you had made earlier and will ultimately let the device function on its own without any additional pressure on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To change the factory settings to default follow the following steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Browse the <strong>Settings<\/strong> on your device<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You need to back up the memory before you erase<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>So press on the Backup and Reset option available there<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And then tap on <strong>Erase<\/strong> <strong>Al<\/strong>l option<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This will back up all your previously stored files in your device and then reset the settings to the default. This will ultimately reduce the load from the device and will increase its functioning to its natural strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Restart your device<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes it happens that your device is running on its max capacity which leads to weird performances. Just because several other apps are running simultaneously addition of a new app to the queue might put extra pressure on the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For that, you must reboot your device once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Follow the steps to reboot your device:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Press and hold the power button of your device for a while<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You\u2019ll see the device automatically had shut down by itself<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wait for a while and you\u2019ll see the device rebooting again<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There is also another method to reboot your device:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Press and hold the power button<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You see various options coming in fronts such as power-off restart switch user and aeroplane mode<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on <strong>restart<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The device will then restart on its own<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/cult.technology\/how-to-view-facebook-page-or-profile-as-a-visitor\/\">How to View Facebook Page or Profile as a Visitor?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions:<\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-6556d0af40c65\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">1. <strong>Will I lose my data if I reinstall the Facebook app?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>No, you won&#8217;t lose your data if you reinstall the Facebook app. All your profile information, friends, posts, and photos are stored on Facebook&#8217;s servers and not on your device.
