Part 2: Facebook Turns White Screen on Android/iPhone

1. Restart your device

3. Check the network connection and reset network settings
When using WIFI, make sure that you are within the range of the router. If the signal is missing, try restarting your router or modem, unplug it, then plug it back in. If your device couldn't connect to the Internet while other devices can, reset network settings.
On an Android, tap "Network Settings Reset" under Settings – Locate – Backup & Reset.
On an iPhone, tap "Reset Network Settings" under Settings – Generals – Reset.
4. Clear cache (for Android)
Android starts storing data since you have started using it and usually doesn't clear all the cache after using, which leads to sluggish app performance or even misbehaving. Therefore, clearing cache is very useful to regain userspace or to fix an app that doesn't work properly. You can use some apps to clear cache or you can go to Settings > Application, tap into Facebook, and then tap the "Clear cache" button, but make sure that you understand what it means to set the app to default.
