Question
My Facebook account is not working properly. I can't access on my account, what should I do?
Community Answer
If you can't access to your account, you need to make sure that you're using the right user and password when trying to log in. Maybe you're trying to access on a location where Facebook is blocked. The app opens as normal but you wouldn't be able to login. Besides that, there is a possibility that someone changed your password.
