I'm having this issue too. I tried closing out of the app store with the app switcher, restarting the phone, performing a reset, and even uninstalling the app. I now can't even install it because "Facebook could not be downloaded at this time."

For those who have a stuck update and cannot now open the app, have you double-tapped on the ‘Cancel Download’ button that should be next to Facebook in the list of available updates? I know it seems like a dumb question, but this worked for me (smile)

yes

Following the directions above so try one of the next steps or you decide wait until fix App Store or Facebook app is up to you #2 Using iTunes Using iTunes on PC or Mac Download or update Facebook laters version This located on apps sources menu Before to do this have to sincronize PC or Nac with iOS device So then just sinc to enjoy the new Facebook update on iOS device #3 Lasly directly on iOS device Reinstalled the Facebook app This process worked for me What to do?

Not with Facebook, but a few days ago with Shazam. It did eventually update, but nothing I tried in the meantime would make it happen. I just eventually gave up on it, checked my phone the next morning, and Shazam had updated.

The Facebook suddenly crashed whenI was trying to open it. I eventually ignored it and it works ok now. I'd say forget about ti for awhile and see if that helps. It's facebook, so it will change have no fear. :)

Yeah, it finally downloaded. I would be interested to know, why it did this. So that we can avoid it happening again.

Yeah i could not get it to update either. I'm thinking to reinstall the app or just wait as it will eventually update. I have auto updates on so I'm not that worried.

Hi all. I said something about the app not having a problem, how about i didn't have the latest one? ;) Anyway as someone thought they can keep this from happening again, i think it's Apple's end that might've had a hiccup or two. Doesn't this sound like something that happened with a few IOS updates back where no one could use the over the air, but fine on computers? If memory serves, I might've been in the itunes only camp. Anyway since the update it works ok now and no crashing like I reported earlier.

Every version of FB is worse and worse. The app is a peace of junk. I wish Focus for Facebook was still in the app store. Something happened to my library several months ago, and I lost the app. It's a sad day. *grins*

Yeah I just now managed to update the app. I remember that hick up. it was not fun! I'm not surprised all the other apps left. Facebook keeps changing their api almost ever 2 or so months making it hard for apps to even catch up and stay current.

I miss that app too. I had it, but when I tried it using iOS 7, it didn't work. It's still in my library, but it doesn't appear that it'll be updated anytime soon, if ever.
