Scroll down to the Help & Settings area and tap the App Settings icon. On an Android device, open the Facebook app and tap the Menu icon, which looks like a stack of three parallel lines, on the far-right side of the screen. Just visit your Facebook settings for the Android or iOS app. TIP OF THE WEEK If you are annoyed by the videos that automatically play as you scroll through the Facebook feed on your mobile device, you can turn them off. I have since turned on Private Browsing and tried to log in to Facebook and it worked fine, so I’m not sure why it wasn’t working before but turning off Private Browsing was definitely the cure.Apple’s site has a note at /kb/HT6290 that explains the transition in detail. I know this seems obvious once it’s pointed out, and other sites sometimes pop up warnings stating Cookies are not enabled, etc which would normally prompt you to check Private Browsing options but Facebook give’s no warnings or errors in a pop-up or on the re-loaded login page. However, on this occasion I had forgotten to turn off Private Browsing and that was the cause of Facebook failing to login and constantly cycling me back to the login page. My computer gets used by a variety of people during the day so when I come to do any online banking I sometimes turn on Private Browsing and am normally very good at remembering to turn it back off. I thought Facebook might be having an few glitches but I opened up Firefox and it logged me in straight away.Īfter lot’s of hair pulling I finally found the reason I couldn’t log in to Facebook using Safari and I’ve been kicking myself for not realising sooner….I noticed Private Browsing was activated in Safari. I knew I was typing my password 100% correctly so I thought it might be a strange cookie or cached file problem so I cleared Safari’s history, quit and restarted Safari but the same thing kept happening. I’d enter my email address and password but it would keep returning me to the login screen. No matter what I did I couldn’t log in to Facebook today.
