On iPad air4, Facebook app crashes instantly after ios17? Facebook on App Store claims it was updated, but this update crashes. Not FB MESSENGER for me, but just FB. Apple support clueless, but many seem to have this issue. Any tips or just hope FB corrects?

iPad Air, iPadOS 17
Apple Support wouldn't know what FB is doing with their apps. Unfortunately, it seems like FB doesn't know what they're doing with their apps, either. The iPad app has been a disaster for months. Until FB figures out what they're doing, your best bet is to use a browser.

Yes, it does. The apps especially.
All you can do is wait until FB/Meta bothers to fix it. Meanwhile, perhaps there's a better platform you can use to live stream your events.
Facebook works like crap in any and every browser I’ve tried, too.
It’s a significant issue for me, since I livestream our church services and monitor the feed on my iPad. The video just keeps dying and needing to be restarted ever since installing 17.

I was suggesting you use something other than Facebook to do the streaming: Zoom, WebEx, Teams, anything but Facebook.
Not an option. We have international followers who depend on our streams on Facebook. In any case, this is getting away from the topic. Facebook works perfectly well for our streaming. It is the general use of Facebook on my iPad that is the issue at hand, and I want help fixing it, please.

Other streaming platforms work internationally so, I'm not sure why where people are is an issue.
If FB worked "perfectly well", you wouldn't be posting here. Facebook/Meta has shown little interest in maintaining their iOS and iPadOS apps lately. Remember, you are not their customer. You merely provide them with the product they sell for a great deal of money: your data.

Thnx! Yes, just wait and see for now.
