What to do: Adjust your device's date & time according to your location.
4. App Not Updated
Every application launches its updated versions that fix the bugs and errors of the previous ones. The corrections help enhance the application's performance by fixing the errors holding it back.
Additionally, try deleting and reinstalling the app if that's not the case.
What to do: Visit your app store and check if the app comes with new updates. Update the app to use Facebook without any hassle.

6. Hardware Issues
Unlike its earlier versions, the latest Facebook app utilizes plenty of space on RAM and CPU to function normally. If you use an older smartphone or a smartphone that cannot operate high-power apps, it's better to use the app.

What to do: Install Facebook's lighter version Facebook Lite which has been specially created for light usage.

What to do: Close all your apps and relaunch the Facebook app.
8. Cached Data

What to do: Go to your phone settings and clear cached data from your Facebook app.
9. Corrupt Installation File
Sometimes the installation file of Facebook becomes a victim f bad data, making its installation file corrupt. When such an instance occurs, the corrupt installation files lead the app to behave abnormally, causing issues in the app usage.
