I did all of this, but I still get the error
Me too.
I did this too and only fixes it for awhile. I went to facebook.com and was already logged in. then I just put it on my home screen, which shows the same logo as regular Facebook app. this has worked for me. I just click on it and it goes right to facebook. It looks a little different than the regular page but basically the same. Try that!
I just tried this and it worked! Nothing I can tell needs me to update, profile the same, contacts are there, settings stayed the same. Guess it just went back to the version I was using before I recently updated. By the way, that’s when this problem began with “facebook has stopped running”. Thank you ever so much for your brainpower!!! I’m freeeeee! : )
This method just opens Facebook from a browser and not the actual Facebook Mobile application…. its different because you are viewing from the desktop browser view. This is not a fix to the actual problem it just allows you to log on Facebook using a browser and not the mobile application. I have tried everything to get the mobile application working on my LG Gpad Android tablet, even resetting and it doesn’t fix the issue.. My next attempt will be to find a older version of the facebook mobile application because the one on Google Play is definitely not working for me.
Where can I find an older version of Facebook?
The error msg on my j7 pro says ‘facebook keeps stopping’. Is there a wsy out. Not able to uninstall the app. Can only disable it. Couldn’t clear cache as well.
