@tagging on Facebook pages

I use a sprint galaxy s9 for posting to facebook.

Until a few days ago, on my business page I could tag other pages, using @Name.

Now I can't.

Still can tag on my PC.

I tried installing the pages app, but same issue.
Then I tried FB lite. Nope.
Then I tried the mobile web version. And this is weird - I can tag individuals, but not business pages.
I tried tagging some of my others pages who have liked the page - no joy.

I posted the problem with fb.
And I searched fb community & googled - no hits.

Anyone else having this problem?

I fear it was a fb update on phone.
Wish I could disable these updates or roll back to an earlier version.

Hi! I've never used this, but would love to try.
I was reading the faqs, and it seems to get messy with an app that you can't uninstall - like facebook on samsung.
Have you done this?
Any tips?
Thanks.
 
You'll most likely need to uninstall Facebook first to install the older version.
Just make sure you don't auto update in the play store

You're very welcome. :)
Still stuck where I was.

Any ideas?

Am I the only person experiencing this issue?

Sigh.

I understand your frustration, and I wish I could help. I don't do facebook, but I do have an idea.

On my devices, when something like facebook can't be uninstalled, if I go to its Play Store page it shows me the usual 'uninstall' and 'open' buttons. When I select 'uninstall' it unfortunately doesn't actually work--but it does pop up a question, 'do you want to uninstall all updates to this app and restore it to its factory setting?' *IF* it gives you the same options, this could roll it back to an earlier version. Worth a try!
 
Thanks for the great suggestion.

I was able to implement your idea!

And then - wait for it - Facebook won't let me open the app on my phone without updating it first.

They are rat bastards!

But it was worth a try!

Thanks again.
