Tips to fix Facebook app auto-logout on iPhone, Android, PC

How to troubleshoot Facebook auto-logout

1. Close Background Apps

Having too many apps open simultaneously can overload the RAM, making the phone sluggish. This is one of the reasons why apps, games in general, and Facebook in particular suddenly crash. So, make sure to completely close other apps to avoid having too many apps running in the background.

The simplest way to close background apps on Android is by tapping on the small square icon (or 3 horizontal lines) at the bottom of the screen or swiping from the bottom edge of the screen on phones supporting gesture-based navigation to access the open apps interface. Then, simply tap on the Close all button or swipe the app cards upward to shut down background apps. This process may vary slightly for each Android phone.

For iPhone, follow these steps:
- iPhone X and newer: Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen to access the multitasking window. Then, swipe the app card upward.
- iPhone 8 and older: Double press the Home button to open the multitasking window. Then, swipe the app card upward.

2. Restart iPhone, Android Device

Restarting your phone might sound counterintuitive, but if you ask any tech expert, they would suggest rebooting your phone as it resolves many mobile device-related issues. Whether you're using Facebook on your phone, tablet, or PC and encountering app auto-logout errors, restart your device before exploring other troubleshooting methods.

3. Clear Facebook App Data and Cache

In many cases, clearing app cache and data can resolve app freeze issues. To clear Facebook app data and cache on Android, follow these steps:

Step 1: Open Settings > Apps or Application manager depending on your device.
Step 2: Select Facebook from the list of installed apps on Android and tap on Storage.
Step 3: Tap on Clear Data and Clear Cache buttons. Then, click OK to confirm the action.

4. Clear Web Browser Cache

6. Try Using a Different Web Browser

If you encounter the Facebook logout issue on the Chrome browser, try logging into Facebook using a different browser such as Coc Coc, Firefox, or Opera. Alternatively, you can also access the mobile version of Facebook (m.facebook.com) to use Facebook through a web browser on both computer and mobile devices.

7. Update Facebook

Sometimes, updating the Facebook app can fix all related errors and issues. If you have disabled automatic updates, you may have missed some recent Facebook updates. The simplest way to update Facebook is to visit the App Store or Play Store.

8. Uninstall and Reinstall the Facebook App

If you've tried the above methods but the Facebook logout issue persists, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Facebook app. Removing the app will eliminate all associated files. When you install the new version of the app, it will generate all necessary files from scratch, meaning the files causing the issue will no longer be present, allowing you to use the social network without any obstacles on your device.
