Facebook App: Opening Links in an External Browser
Users have reported intermittent issues with the Facebook in-app browser, which sometimes makes requests to websites without the required cookies. This appears to be a glitch that the platform is working to resolve. To circumvent this issue for now, a straightforward solution is to use the Facebook app without utilizing the in-app browser. Here’s how:
- Start by opening the settings menu through the hamburger icon in the top right corner.
- Select “App Settings” from the dropdown.
- Turn on the “Links Open Externally” option (this will redirect you to your device’s default browser).
