Can't type on facebook

Post by Grendel »

I don't often post on facebook but earlier today I put a post on there. I used my phone as I was attaching a photo and all went well. This evening on the ipad I noticed so.e friends had replied so I in turn tried to reply to them . That's where I encountered the problem. When I tried to type in a response it deleted any letter as soon as I tried to put in another leaving only the last typed letter. I could still answer via the phone. I've tried logging out of facebook , refreshing it and turning off and on again but the problem has remained. Anyone with a bit more tech knowledge have any thoughts?

Delete or back button pressed?

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.

Doesn't seem to be . I'm largely a one finger typer so it's not as if I'm hitting anything elseat the same time. Also only affects facebook on the ipad as I'm typing this on it 🤔

Right I've had another play and have now got on to Facebook with f lite rather than the silk browser I was using previously and it seems to be working. Thanks for taking the time to answer.Irony is that this is the first time I've posted anything in nearly a year other than one post the previous week.
