Others have the same problem judging by this page here.

I had to uninstall FB app and re-install to fix the problem.
It co-incided with other Facebook problems, don't know if there was any link.

Currently running unofficial CM13, but this issue has occurred on CM12.1 as well.
Every time I try to download the app, the actual download completes but the notification "Installing Facebook" just sits there forever. When I go back into the Play Store, the notification goes away, but the app isn't installed. It also causes any other downloads to lock up until a couple minutes have passed.
On CM12.1, it would download and install, but the installation process would take ~5 minutes.
I'm figuring it's probably an issue with the app itself, but I was just curious to see if anyone else is having this problem.
I face this problem quite often. Even updating the app is a hard task for me now. It either would take ages or doesn't install at all.
I don't know what could be the reason behind it but try keeping the play store window just as it is after touching the install button. It works for me at times. While the window is changed, it never installs.
Have the same. Installed FB lite.
same problem i have rooted stock rom. i thought that problem is due to download manager, my thread is also there at xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/help/change-stock-download-manager-t3252514
have the same problem, doesn't have an answer, but for me it became worse with CM13. on CM12(.1) it was just as you described, but now it slows down the whole phone, rendering it useless. I suspect it runs out ot memory.
Please post here, if someone has a solution

I think it's the app itself. Facebook probably hasn't optimized it for 6.0 yet.

It's not available in my country. Go USA, haha. Not really though.
Had the same problem. Downloaded the APK from APKMANIA and installed. It's working fine now.
Hope it helps!
I've had a similar problem, the issue was that I installed FB Messenger app before the Facebook app itself. Uninstalling both and then installing Facebook first, Messenger second fixed it for me.

They both seem to take a while to install. Probably because Facebook installs 300+ MB worth of data.
Hey, guys. While using Facebook and Facebook Messenger apk, when I try to share externally and select the Messenger apk, I receive "Messenger failed to load attachment." I'm currently on Lite 7.0, and I've tried another stock 7.0 ROM. Same issue. I've tried to uninstall the apk, cleared the data within Messenger apk, and have even tried to clear all device cache. Anyone else have this issue and know how to fix it? Thanks!
fix it???
solution.. remove anything facebook from the device
(just kidding, i just hate facebook on any of my devices, or anything related to)
Yeah, I know a lot of people are anti FB. I like it. Use it daily. And don't mind the cons. Just want it to function properly, lol.

dont mind me, i was just reflecting on my opinion of the app from a few years ago. have you checked if that function works for others btw?
It's borked in the latest beta also so..........
Sharing to Messenger using other apk works. Photos, G+. So, it does appear to be the FB apk on 7.0 then. I didn't have this happen on NP5.

maybe they just have to fix it for 7.0, but that would be on facebooks side.

It's with the fb app updates it was doing it with dp5 also
Click the three line menu button scroll all the way down and select report a problem. List what device fb app version number and what Android version you are currently running
And tell them what is happening. I just reported it also
Good morning all. I don't know if anyone has come across or knows of a solution to this annoying problem.
Basically, the stock contacts app (by Samsung) crashes when I want to view details of a contact. You can open the program and it shows you the list of names, but if you want to open it up to call or text then it crashes. It's annoying as I cant use my call log as a point of returning calls. I've had to download Google Contacts to overcome some of the problems.
Is there any way of uninstalling it and reinstalling it as I know it's integrated into the dialer app too. Or does someone use an alternate dialer/address app that's simple and clean? No fancy themes or additional features.
Thanks all!

I've had similar issues with the stock dialer and messaging app. Sometimes they'll just freeze and only rebooting the phone will get them working again. Interested to hear if anyone has some sort of a fix as well.
I looked on the comments of the contacts app on the Samsung marketplace and other note 8 users had the same issue. So it's not just us.
Hmm.. tested over and over.. no problems what so ever
I had the same issue with the stock contacts app on my Note8 and here's how I fixed it. Go to Settings > Apps > Contacts > click the vertical ... in the top right corner > Uninstall updates. I hope this works for others too.
Edit: Unfortunately, this may only be a temporary fix.
Are you using any theme overlays? Substratum? If you are uninstall and try again.

This worked for me - thank you
It seems as though the latest update has fixed the crashing. My phone updated itself and I think the bug has been squashed.
So I've recently switched from an S9+ to the P20 Pro, and I'm experiencing a really frustrating bug on the Facebook app. Whenever someone or a page posts 4 or 5+ pictures, I can't load them. I tap on one, and something flashes to suggest they're open but nothing appears. Also with comments. When opening 'more comments' for example, nothing appears. This isn't just occasionally, it's everytime.
I never had this issue with the S9+ which leads me to believe it may be a setting with the Pro.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app and no joy.
Anyone experienced anything similar?
i don't think it's a bug in the phone. More likely a bug on fb..
I've had the p20p for a while and fb have been ok before.
I have the exact same issue.
I third this issue. Was considering clearing cache and reinstalling but haven't bothered to try yet. Facebook regularly tinker with the app anyway.

Glad to see I'm not the only one. I've tried clearing the cache and reinstalling but made no difference. I'll try again, maybe it's something FB will sort
Have the same problem.... but I don't believe it's an issue with the phone. I had this same problem on my V30
I just downloaded Facebook Lite and its working fine. It doesnt look as good as the main app, and nowhere near as smooth but a good option nonetheless
so this started happening since i upgraded to android 10...basically it keeps saying updating and downloading feature for facebook, it goes away sometimes but comes back everytime i open the app
anyone had the same problem or any solutions?
also i need to use the official fb app as i work for a company called appen and that requires the use of the official app, otherwise would have switched to folio by now

i wonder if it has an effect on battery life cos it seems much worse on android 10 imo (although i did dirty flash)
I have similar "occurrence" with Google Chrome and after recent Chrome update i don't have this "issue" anymore.
So, do tell?!
Mysterious are Facebook's paths!

never had a problem with chrome but i froze fb with tb and only unfreeze it when i need it for work now...still so weird how no one has any idea what the issue is
1. uninstall both Facebook and Messenger
2. install them back from apk not Playstore
3. uncheck "auto update" for both on Playstore
For the workaround, uninstall the Facebook app that was installed using Play store and download an alpha or beta version of Facebook.
so downloading the fb beta version via apk seems to have sorted the problem for now...thanks to the 2 guys who suggested it ^
installing latest facebook beta version fixed for me
so issue is with facebook
same problem on xiaomi eu rom also with google Chrome and netflix
