Hi there! I’d be glad to help you get logged into the Friendly Social Browser app. To make sure I guide you correctly, could you tell me a bit more about what happens when you try to log in? For example, are you seeing an error message, or does the app just not respond? Also, have you tried logging in before on this device, or is this your first time?
Each time I attempt to log in, I am told to wait for a notification in Facebook. Then each time I open the notification to confirm that it is me, I am prevented from logging in, and have repeated the same process over and over again.
Thank you for explaining the situation with the Facebook login notification loop. This kind of cycle where you get asked to confirm your identity repeatedly via Facebook notifications often relates to the authentication process getting stuck or certain settings interfering.
Let's try a few steps to help clear this up on your iPhone with iOS 16.7.11:
1. Make sure your Facebook app notifications are enabled: - Go to your iPhone’s Settings. - Scroll down and tap on Facebook. - Tap Notifications and ensure Allow Notifications is on. - This makes sure you receive the confirmation requests properly.
2. Clear the Friendly Social Browser’s cache and cookies: - Open Friendly Social Browser. - Go to the app Settings (usually accessible via the hamburger menu or bottom tabs). - Look for Privacy or Browser Data options. - Clear cache and cookies, which can sometimes hold outdated login data causing errors.
3. Log out from Facebook completely on the Friendly Social Browser: - If you can get into settings or your profile within the app, log out fully. - Quit the app completely (swipe it away from the multitasking view). - Then reopen and try logging in again.
4. Try logging in via the Facebook app: - Sometimes logging in first through the official Facebook app and confirming the identity there helps the browser app recognize the validated session.
5. Check Facebook security settings: - Using either the Facebook app or website, go to Settings > Security and Login. - Look for any alerts or pending approvals and clear or confirm them. - Ensure that your recognized devices include the Friendly Social Browser — if not, it may be causing repeated verification requests.
6. Reinstall Friendly Social Browser: - If the above steps don’t help, uninstall and reinstall the app from the App Store to reset its data completely2.
Let me know if any of these steps work for you or if you notice any different behavior during the login process. That way, I can provide more targeted guidance.
Are you comfortable going through these steps now?
