Facebook Feed Not Loading: How to Fix It
Facebook opens, but your feed stays blank, spins forever, or keeps showing the same old posts.
Try these in order
- Pull down to refresh, or restart the app Close Facebook completely and reopen it — temporary glitches are the usual culprit (The Windows Club).
- Check your internet Toggle airplane mode on and off, switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, or restart your router (The Windows Club).
- Close background apps Too many apps running can starve Facebook of resources; clear them and try again (The Windows Club).
- Clear Facebook's cache On Android go to Settings > Apps > Facebook > Storage > Clear cache. On iPhone, open Facebook's Settings > Browser > Clear (The Windows Club).
- On a computer, clear cookies and turn off ad blockers Corrupted cookies and blocker extensions frequently break the feed (The Windows Club).
- Switch your feed setting Click the three dots next to Feed and choose Most Recent or Top Stories to force it to rebuild (Windows Report).
- Reinstall the app Corrupted app files can stop the feed loading; delete Facebook and install it again from your app store (The Windows Club).
Still stuck? A blank feed on every device usually means an outage on Facebook's side, so wait it out (The Windows Club). Checking your computer's date and time settings is also worth a look (Windows Report).
