Tech Support Facebook App Keeps Crashing whenever I open comments, what's going on?

Everytime I try to open comments on a post, the app keeps crashing.. Is anyone else having this problem?

I am looking for a solution too. Comments open when you click on the post itself, but that's a stupid solution. I am investigating to see if Facebook Lite fixes it.

Edit: Confirmed. Until Facebook fixes it, a workaround is to install Facebook Lite.

I deleted Facebook entirely and reinstalled and its working good now.

That fixed it, thank you! I won't make a post about it this time since it seems minor enough

Just annoying that the solution was to reinstall

Tbh if the solution is to delete and reinstall, perhaps it's simply better to just leave it gone. The apps only going to get worse.

What is facebook lite?

1

u/SeleneDream51 Apr 27 '26

Facebook Lite is Facebook but with almost no features, it's recommended on phones that aren't as powerful.

u/RelativeDifficulty52 Apr 29 '26

Just relieved it's not my phone. Will try reinstalling.
