Facebook login issues can occur in any operating system, like Android, iOS, or any web browser. You can quickly fix this problem by addressing all the causes mentioned above. Before moving on to the fixes mentioned below, make sure to restart your device at the very first.

Update Your Facebook App

Launch your Play Store (Android) or App Store (iPhone).

Clear Cache and Data

The cache is the copy of data or files in the temporary storage, which gets stored in large amounts on your device with the constant updates in the Facebook app. Deleting the corrupted cache data might allow your Facebook app to function smoothly and solve the issue of it logging out.

On Android

Scroll down and press on the Facebook app.

You can check whether the extensions are the real cause of the logging out error on Facebook or not. You can do this by logging in to your Facebook account using incognito mode on your browser.

Log Out From All the Devices (On Browser/iPhone/Android)
