The following list provides numerous troubleshooting tips:

  • Restart your device
  • Update the app to ensure that you’re using the latest version
  • Log out of the app on all your devices
  • Disable then reenable your Insternet connection
  • Uninstall and reinstall the app

If none of the above tips work, it’s them, not you.  As you may know, Facebook acquired the company in 2012.  Since then, they have implemented numerous changes.  The app is not working because they are most likely implementing yet another change.  Give it some time.  They never take more than 2-3 days.
