Does the Chrome opening up the Facebook app on your iPhone? Some users seem to be facing the same kind of problem where the Chrome is loading up the Facebook app, instead of the Facebook on the web. We have discussed the details of the issue and the quickest and easiest fix for the problem.
Why Chrome is opening Facebook app in the iPhone app?
When you try to access your Facebook wall from the Chrome browser, you may have noticed that it almost immediately takes you to the Facebook app on iPhone. Now, this redirection process is done to enhance the user’s experience. The app experience is always better curated than it’s web counterpart. But, sometimes this same redirection can be problematic if you want to access your Facebook account on the web browser, not on the traditional app.
Troubleshooting this problem won’t take you long. You can stop the app redirection by accessing the Facebook on a separate web page from the current one. When you do this, Facebook won’t redirect you to the native app, but let you stay and operate from the Chrome browser.
Fix – 1 Open Facebook on another webpage
The straight forward solution to this issue is to load up the Facebook in another webpage, instead of just loading up in the same page/tab.
Step 1 – Search for the Facebook app in the Google webpage.
Step 2 – Next, press and hold the Facebook in the search result and tap the “Open in New tab” option.
Once Facebook loads up in the webpage, it won’t open up the Facebook app.
Step 3 – Switch to the new tab where Facebook has opened up.
You can continue using Facebook directly on the browser. If you get any prompt of accessing Facebook
Fix 2 – Use Facebook on incognito mode
If you are still getting redirected to the Facebook app on the iPhone, you can use the Facebook on incognito mode.
Step 1 – Load up the Google Chrome. Tap the three-dot button.
Step 2 – Next, tap the “New Incognito Tab” to load up the incognito tab.
Step 3 – Next, just search for Facebook, and long press it to open the Facebook in another incognito tab.
You have to input your Facebook ID and password to log in to your Facebook account.
Step 4 – Switch to the tabs view to find the Facebook webpage in a separate tab.
If you get any prompt of opening up the Facebook app, just ignore it.
