2. If the problem is not about the Facebook servers, then the problem is on your end. Make sure that you are using the official Facebook site (facebook.com) or the app (Facebook app for iOS) to log in.

3. On your iPhone, make sure that you have the latest version of the Facebook app. Open the App Store. Tap your picture. Tap App Updates, then tap Update next to apps you want to update, or tap Update All.

4. Update your iPhone 18 Pro. Make sure that your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS. You can update your device wirelessly by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

7. If you are using a Wi-Fi connection, try restarting your modem and router. To do this, unplug the power from both your router and modem and then wait about a minute and then plug them back in.

8. If you are using a Wi-Fi connection, and if your device supports, turn off Wi-Fi so that your device connects to the Internet via your cellular data network.

9. Reset Network Settings. Please note that this will wipe all of your network settings, such as your Wi-Fi passwords, etc. On your device, go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
