Major change in Facebook?

By Lee, 29 August, 2017

Forum
iOS and iPadOS

Hi All, as of today when selecting the more tab all the previous options have gone. I used to have shortcuts and a bunch of other stuff. Now I can only select my profile, messenger, instagram and settings. I've got the latest version of FB with Ios 10.3.3 and iPhone 6s. Does anyone know if there has been a change or has Voiceover just stopped working? Thanks for info.

Same Here!

Hi Lee, you are not imagining things, I've just taken a look at Facebook on my iPhone and got the same as you. Don't know why all of these options disappeared all of a sudden. Perhaps there is a glitch on Facebook's side or in the app itself not being able to display them in the app.

I would suggest writing to Facebook and letting them know. They're usually pretty good at listening and fixing glitches. I recall an issue a while back that, when trying to create a new post, instead of having the usual "post" button, it was a "next" button and when you selected it , it would ask you to select which group you wanted to include in the post, but as a VoiceOver user, you couldn't select one. I wrote to Facebook and an update or two later, the issue was fixed. HTH!

Similar Thing with Mobile Site

Just this morning when posting a status update--which I rarely do anymore--I noticed that before the "Post" button were several oddly-labeled buttons. But rather than report this to the Fb folks at least for the time being, I'm going to wait for High Sierra to come out and then when I update I'll go back to the Fb mobile site and see if those graphics buttons are still there. I think it's safe to assume that those buttons are graphics or something similar. Then I will report the issue if I have to.

I still can access the shortcuts. I am using an iPhone 6s with the latest software.

Issue Seems Resolved

Hello, I just wanted to point out that after launching my Facebook app on my iPhone, the shortcuts seem to have been restored. You may wish to double check to see if the same has happened to you. If not, then I would suggest contacting Facebook and letting them know. Have a good day!

Hi all, Ye'h as of today things are back to how they were. I think this was a Facebook issue. I checked with my sighted partner last night and she had the same issues yesterday without VO. Today both our iPhones are showing correctly again. Thanks.

odd facebook behavior here

By Ray T. Mahorney

So I put it back on the phone and that is where I ran into an issue. On first use after I put facebook on the phone, after clicking what's on your mind, I found a proper post button which was dim until I populated the text field. That post went through without a hitch. On the next attempt however, I was presented with a dimmed next button rather than a dimmed post button. I was also presented with an add album button. When I populated the text field and clicked next, it kicked me out of facebook. The only option I had was to close facebook in the app switcher and bring it back up. The post was still present but I was still being presented with the next button rather than a post button. Did I misconfigure something? IOS11.1 on a 6 plus with what appears to be the most recent release of the facebook app. Thanks folks.

this why an app like facebook, if something is working well for me, I don't update. I would rather not update unless I have to
