Why is Facebook Marketplace showing a white page on iPad Pro running iOS 18.3.1?

When I’m on Facebook and go to Marketplace i get a white page everything else works ok. If I go and clear the open sites on my destop I can get into marketplace once, then when I come back to the desk top and try going back to marketplace I get the blank white page again. Need help on this one thanks

My iPad is on IOS 18.3.1 and Facebook marketplace will show a blank page. I have deleted App and reinstalled, nothing. Facebook marketplace listing will display if I restart the iPad. However, it will work for a very short time. This started less than a week ago. Thanks.

I will but I have tried everything that was on the posted replies and nothing works, I just wish someone could explain to me why Marketplace works fine on my iPhone Pro 15 and not on my iPad Pro same account I feel Apple needs to look into this.

“Tracy Clayton, a spokesperson for Facebook's parent company, Meta, said the gray boxes were "the result of a bug in a version of Facebook for iOS that was introduced on March 1."

"A fix has been submitted to the App Store and should be going out in the coming days," Clayton said. "No sense yet on how widely this is occurring." “

Someone on another thread for the same issue gave a remedy that works When you get the dreaded white page turn your iPad in the opposite direction that you are using to browse then back again and FB Marketplace will reappear. As an example, I use my iPad in landscape mode, I turn it to portrait mode then back to landscape and it reappears. Much easier/quicker fix until Facebook or Apple fixes this bug. Hope this helps other people. PS. I am using iOS 18.3.2

It started after the last update and I have the same update on my iPhone 15 Pro and marketplace is fine on it, My iPad 4th Generation has never been good since I got IOS 18 so much money tied up with Apple and very disappointed lately.

My I pad if you sweep up from the left hand corner and clear the open pages then go into Facebook and open Marketplace it will work for one time only then you have to go back and clear it again.

Apple please put a fix out for this problem.

I have the same issue, on the latest IPAD AIR. I have also deleted FB, re-install without a fix. How-ever when having the Marketplace open with the white page present, I tilted the IPAD from landscape to portrait, and then back to landscape, and then the Marketplace page update with the ads. It then works for a short while again, and one has to repeat the above.

I’ve had exactly the same issue on a brand new iPad Air bought on 1st Feb this year, and frankly, after approx 15 years of buying iPads cannot believe they can’t sort this out very quickly.

Do we have to specially request an update to solve this issue, or will it be issued as a generic update as part of a worldwide software update??.


Apple can't fix a problem with Facebook Apps. Any bugs associated with Facebook Apps can only be fixed by Meta - and they have a very poor record of speedily addressing issues.
