Re: Face Book Won't Stay Open On Ipad, Help!

I get to FB thru Safari, then I added to home screen. Lately it doesn't keep me logged in even though it used to.

I do the same on the IPhone and I stay logged in.

Does anybody know why?

I have the FB app, but prefer going thru safari

Thanks

Hi, DianeInTx! If the iOS version is the same on both devices, compare your Safari settings on the two to see if they match.

Also, the first two things that come to mind:

1 -- In Settings--->Safari, look at "Block Cookies" and be sure it isn't set to "Always."

2 -- Make sure you haven't enabled "Private browsing" in Safari. Here's an article that shows you how to check if you're not familiar with it:

Oops!Wink Just thought of one other thing:

When you login to Facebook in Safari on your iPad, be sure to check "Keep me logged in." (It's in small print under your login info.)

Thank you dooBdoo

I will check on that when I get home.

I alway check that ""keep me logged in"" box and no matter how many times I check it it never does
