Facebook 130.0.0.45.70 issue

Anyone having an issue with the latest Facebook app logging in and flashing screen, deleting cache etc helps for a short period but issue returns.
My solution is that you search for version 128 and install,  this should resolve this issue until Facebook fix it.
To do this you will require to allow unknown sources to install, once this is done install the apk and remember to go back into security and disallow unknown sources.
Reason I placed this here is because this affects this phone on Android Lollipop 5.1.1 which this phone currently uses.

Anyone?

I take it nobody here has a problem with the Facebook App.

I've encountered issues with Facebook, they are horrible with updates that break things almost weekly.

Try Facebook Lite instead. That's what I've used.

Is that available via Google play store?

There are so many I want to make sure I pick the best one.

Apkmirror will have Facebook older releases. Find one and install that, and turn off auto updates from your play store settings

Hi, that's exactly what I use just now, currently using version 128, the annoying thing is that they keep asking me to update to a newer version, they aren't listing to people either unfortunately.

And that's Facebook for you...
If you want, delete the app and just login using a browser instead

Yeah, done that too, however you lose some functionality by just using the browser version. They've obviously dropped support for the Android Lollipop 5.1.1 version but just don't want to admit it.

Yup...
