I like the new update supporting photo comments, but there's a new problem.
Every time you open Facebook/Beta, the news feed automatically refreshes. Now, it does refresh but the new posts don't show up. It's just a white blank screen with the tabs on the top and bottom. Bit frustrating.

I also have this bug. I have to manually refresh (shake). Only happens on the beta for me. Also still waiting for replying to comments.

So messages are no longer supported in the FB app. Telling me i have to download FB messenger. Really annoyed with this, I don't want the stupid messenger app, i was quite happy with it in the app.

Every platform is the same now. You have to have Messenger as a separate app on iOS, Android and WP now

Likewise. I really sad to see such bugs still exists after so many iterations of the app. So much disappointment with MS. Facebook app on iOS and Android are working amazingly well while ours are still facing bugs like this.....

They can't even fix the news feed can't wait to buy the iPhone 6

I'm ditching Windows Phone for Note 4.... I'm getting more and more disappointed with apps on Windows Phone.

Yeah noticed this too. Slight annoyance. I have to go to another tab like notifications then come back for it to load the news feed.

i want the messanger to integrate within the app , as it integrates with android and ios.
chat bubbles can't be integrated in os but as i think they can be integrated in the app.

Happens to me as well. I ended up swiping to the left (so it goes to friends requests) and the swipe right to the news feed. It refreshed properly to show the news feed.

No, android and iOS apps don't integrate with the messenger app anymore.

I haven't uninstalled beta, but it is crashing every time I try to open it. I AM having that problem with Bing sports, though not with a reinstall. I'm having that message with the recent update.

Re: Facebook getting updated? Where is the WP8 love?

Is there no way to unfollow, i.e. hide in news feed w/o unfriending, in the WP8 app?

 

[SyntacticSyntax]

So many missing features from the Android and iOS counterparts like multiple tagging, seeing what friends like, polls, hide posts and others. Annoyances like limited number of notifications, limited 25 photo uploads, blank white screen when opening facebook and when friends uploaded many photos in an album, I can see the photos in the news feed as separated posts rather than in one post. Really irritating that it takes 10 post on the news feed.

I can't post pictures with a caption to FB. If I try the upload never completes As soon as I remove the caption it uploads fine.

And sometimes, tapping on replies open up the browser to mobile version of Facebook. What a crap app is this?! App supports on Windows Phone is really suck to the core.

Yeah noticed this too. It seems to just take ultra long for me but it does upload after a while.

This is annoying but doesn't seem to happen as often for me now. Not sure why it does that though.

Error 80073cf0 while downloading app...all other apps download fine!

Best way to use Facebook on Windows Phone? Open IE browse to m.facebook.com ...

 

[FlandersNed]

When I tap on notifications that are based on actions I have performed (i.e Someone liked your post, someone commented on your post') the app tells me "We're having trouble getting data". This only happens for those notifications, and I don't know why.

I linked the facebook account through the phone, so why is this happening?

 

[deadwrong03]

I'm noticing the feeds are matching the website

 

[kylezangel]

Hi all. Just a quick question. How do I configure my Facebook live tile so that it matches what I see in the reviews and unboxings here? I'm using the official app and pinning it to start gives me a blank, blue tile
