FB Webview on FB app on mobile phones is NOT A Browser.

The Facebook Browser

Some time ago, Facebook started building their own web browser into many versions of the Facebook App. The idea was to keep people inside the Facebook system for longer, but the In-App version of the browser has a number of restrictions and does not fully support all the features available in modern stand-alone web browsers. This can affect how many websites work, including this one.

The Problem

The In-App browser is designed to discourage you from leaving so that Facebook can track what you do on any website link that you open when using the App. This gives them more data about you and your likes and dislikes and a greater chance to feed you adverts from 'relevant partners'; that is, advertisers that pay Facebook for the privilege.

However, the restrictions this imposes mean that, amongst other things, you cannot open links in a new tab or window and you cannot view or open documents such as .pdf, .doc, etc. using the In-App Browser.

The Solution

The answer is to set the Facebook App to open links in a standard browser. To do this on Android mobile apps, tap the Facebook menu icon in the top right, scroll down to Settings & Privacy, tap Settings then scroll down to Media & Contacts, tap and then enable the Links open externally option. That’s it.

In future when you try to open a link, Facebook will use your default browser.

For iOS, there is currently no permanent option, but you can open individual links from the In-App browser in Safari by tapping the 3 dots (...) or Share option and choosing Open in Safari from the menu.

If you are still using the Windows 10 Desktop App (Facebook discontinued it in Feb 2020) you don't have a permanent option either, but when the In-App browser opens, you can select the 'gear' Settings symbol at the top right and then click Open in Browser.
