Here are the most common issues and how to fix them
Check if Facebook is down

You might not be the only one having problems with Facebook! If the social network isn’t working for you, maybe it’s a site-wide issue. You could try to use Facebook using another browser or device, and see if it’s working elsewhere. Otherwise, you can check on a website like Down Detector, which will let you know if there’s a problem with Facebook. If there is, there’s nothing you can do but wait it out.
Close and reopen the app
Is Facebook not working only for you? Then you have to start looking at possible local issues. Sometimes apps can go out of whack, and something as simple as closing the app or website, and reopening it, might fix the problem. It may also help to log out and log back in. This should resync everything and move the cogs back into place.
Check for app updates

-Sometimes having an older version of an application may cause issues. If problems persist, you want to make sure you’re running the latest version of the app. Head over to the Google -Play Store (or any app store you use) and check for any available updates. Get the latest version and check if Facebook is working.
Check app’s network permissions
-If you have a strong internet connection and everything else seems OK, Facebook not working might be due to permission issues. Make sure you’re allowing the social network to access all it needs to from your phone to function properly.
