Ive been a member of facebook for a REALLY long time, and have had nothing but mostly good experiences. However, this latest update is pure rage fuel. Every time I put the app in the background even for a split second, it takes me back to the top of my feed. If I open a reel to watch it, I cant back out of it without it going to the top of my feed and then I lose the rest of the reels, or have to scroll endlessly to get back to them. This "feature" has GOT to go.

I can say for the most part I experienced good service, met a lot of interesting people and learned technical skills in the mean time. My problems that I endure are I can never retrieve lost texts or messages that will disappear in the middle of me writing the sentence. I don't know where to address the issue, or what Google device or app I should look into. Very confusing.

The new updates have made this app completely unusable for me. I upload photos in albums to share with friends and family. Unfortunately, FB no longer loads the posts properly (and ANY posts beyond those) on my feed when an album with more than 100 photos exists. Consequently, it also breaks my notifications. The thing is, an older version of the app solves the issue for me, which means that they messed something up on one of the recent updates but have no desire to fix it.

Atrocious. Feed algorithms awful. Option not to use FB spying browser and use your device's default browser instead for links is gone again, well, now back again but checking the box doesn't do anything. I'll give it a few days and look opening in my default browser doesn't return, I'm deleting the (cr)app. Edit: links still open in Facebook's horrible browser rather than my default browser. Yes, the "links open in external browser" box is checked.

Ads are invasive when watching videos and sometimes cause the app to reset, close or lose sound. For the most part I've gotten used to just scrolling on when the ad countdown begins. Semi annoying that a full video can rarely be finished, but at least I'm not watching ads. Can't report the issue because real people don't review it and I'm met with the automated responses which lead nowhere. I'll just go back to using FB on the internet browser with AD block.

I mainly use Facebook for the marketplace, but lately it's has been a terrible experience with the latest updates. Once you tap on a listing, then try and hit the back button it does not return you to the listing search results, but to the recent search list, and when you try and search it again it doesn't respond. It's very frustrating when your 50 deep down a page, try to go back a page and you have to start all over again.
