Why is Facebook Marketplace showing a white page on iPad Pro running iPadOS 18.3.1?

My iPad is on IOS 18.3.1 and Facebook marketplace will show a blank page. I have deleted App and reinstalled, nothing. Facebook marketplace listing will display if I restart the iPad. However, it will work for a very short time. This started less than a week ago. Thanks.

Someone on another thread for the same issue gave a remedy that works When you get the dreaded white page turn your iPad in the opposite direction that you are using to browse then back again and FB Marketplace will reappear. As an example, I use my iPad in landscape mode, I turn it to portrait mode then back to landscape and it reappears. Much easier/quicker fix until Facebook or Apple fixes this bug. Hope this helps other people. PS. I am using iOS 18.3.2

“Tracy Clayton, a spokesperson for Facebook's parent company, Meta, said the gray boxes were "the result of a bug in a version of Facebook for iOS that was introduced on March 1."

"A fix has been submitted to the App Store and should be going out in the coming days," Clayton said. "No sense yet on how widely this is occurring." “

If you come up with a solution, please post it. I am having the same issue and it is very frustrating.

I have the exact same issue. I removed the app, reloaded it, changed passwords, removed the app reloaded it and so on and so on…still having the same problem…

I’ve got the same problem started about a week ago and I think maybe around the same time as a system upgrade - it’s fine in my iPhone though

If you are using the landscape view turn your iPad to the portrait view and then back to landscape and FB Marketplace will re-appear. Worked for me and is a lot easier and quicker method to use until either Facebook or Apple fixes this bug.

I have the same issue, on the latest IPAD AIR. I have also deleted FB, re-install without a fix. How-ever when having the Marketplace open with the white page present, I tilted the IPAD from landscape to portrait, and then back to landscape, and then the Marketplace page update with the ads. It then works for a short while again, and one has to repeat the above.

I’ve had exactly the same issue on a brand new iPad Air bought on 1st Feb this year, and frankly, after approx 15 years of buying iPads cannot believe they can’t sort this out very quickly.

Do we have to specially request an update to solve this issue, or will it be issued as a generic update as part of a worldwide software update??.

Apple can't fix a problem with Facebook Apps. Any bugs associated with Facebook Apps can only be fixed by Meta - and they have a very poor record of speedily addressing issues.

As suggested by someone else...As an example: If you are using the landscape view turn your iPad to the portrait view and then back to landscape and FB Marketplace will re-appear.

The recent Apple upgrade did NOT fix the problem

I have the exact same problem. My phone is working fine and my iPad is doing the same thing as others are saying on here.
