Hello,
I'm experiencing a bug with the Facebook app on iOS. The bottom navigation bar and the top menu button disappear about five seconds after I open the app. After that, only the posts remain visible, and all navigation options disappear, making the app unusable.
The issue started about two weeks ago. I waited through at least two app updates, expecting the developers to fix it, but the problem persists.
I also reinstalled the app, but that didn't resolve the issue.
To troubleshoot, I signed in with a different Facebook account using the same Facebook app on the same iPhone. With the other account, the bottom navigation bar and all buttons remained visible and worked normally. This indicates that the issue is not with the app itself or my device. Instead, it appears to be account-specific, possibly caused by a server-side interface change affecting only certain accounts.
I also found a temporary workaround. If I open the app and immediately tap Notifications or any button in the bottom navigation bar before it disappears, the navigation bar remains visible for the rest of that session, even if I return to the Home feed. However, I have to repeat this every time I reopen the app.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?
