iOS Facebook Integration: Text Now Off Screen - Privacy Policy Links Inaccessible During Account Creation Process

 iOS 17.5.1 on an iPhone Xr

iOS Facebook Integration: Facebook Authorization Page (with Facebook app version 470.1.0 installed on phone)

June 30th, 2024

Description:

Here's an unusual problem that has just started. The Facebook authorization login page that appears inside of the Facebook iOS app is currently NOT showing the privacy policy link of the associated app that opened the registration. 

Here's what it currently looks like when the user is exited out of an app and enters into the iOS Facebook app for confirmation to allow access:

Text is truncated off screen - user is unable to scroll it (very much) and to access Privacy Policy links. 

This is brand new - as the user was formerly always presented with the privacy policy and/or Terms of Service links. 

I captured a brief video that shows the flow:

Here’s an odd problem that just started with the Facebook app for iOS. The in-app authorization page now truncates a privacy message, and makes the privacy policy links of apps inaccessible.

Here's how the same page looks without having the Facebook iOS app on the same iPhone. As you can see, this is much more understandable - and the links are accessible:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Signed into an account, have Facebook app (version 470.1.0) on your iOS device

2. Download any app that allows Facebook account creation/Logins (example: Pinterest)

3. From inside the Pinterest app select "Continue with Facebook"

4. From the ""Pinterest" wants to Use Facebook.com" prompt, select "Continue"

5. From the "Open in Facebook?" prompt select "Open"

6. From the You previously logged in to Pinterest page note the text at the bottom of the screen

Result: With the current version of the Facebook iOS app the text of the Facebook authorization page is truncated off the bottom of the screen - privacy policy links are inaccessible 

Expected: On the Facebook authorization pages inside of the Facebook iOS app, text should not truncated off screen, and all links should be accessible

With the Facebook iOS app installed on the device, launch an app like Pinterest...

Select the "Continue with Facebook" option...

Select the "Continue" option...

Select the "Open" option from this prompt...

The text at the bottom of the prompt is inaccessible. 

 

KOLLYY - Clothing & Fashion app for iOS: Facebook login leads to a missing Authorization page inside the Facebook iOS app

 iOS 16.4.1 (a)

KOLLYY - Clothing & Fashion app for iOS (version 3.0.9)

Date: 05/13/23

An app called KOLLYY for iOS has a non-working Facebook login. After selecting the Facebook option from inside the KOLLYY app, the user is taken to a not-found page

The same problem reproduces on web:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. (with the FB iOS app on the phone) Download and launch the KOLLYY app for iOS

2. Select "Me"

3. Select "Sign In/Register >"

4. Select the Facebook option 

5. From the "KOLLYY Wants to Use Facebook" pop-up select "Continue"

6. From the "Open in Facebook" pop-up select "open"

7. Note the "It looks like this app isn't available" error message

Result: The Facebook login path from inside he KOLLYY app to Facebook is broken. Select the Facebook login option from inside the KOLLYY app takes the user to a non-working page 

Expected: Facebook login and account creation with the KOLLYY app should work correctly 

Launch the KOLLYY app...

Choose the Facebook login option...

Select the "Continue" option from the pop-up...

Select "Open"...

Facebook login isn't working. Problem on KOLLYY's end. 

Rumble app for iOS: Error Message after accessing the Privacy Policy or Terms of Service link from the FB login

 iOS 16.3.1

Rumble app for iOS (version 2.8.1)

Date: 03/02/23

Description:

There is an unusual problem with the Rumble app for iOS. I have, in fact, never seen this problem happen with another iOS until now. 

Like most other apps, the Rumble app has a Facebook login option. If selected, and if the user has the Facebook iOS app on the device, the user will be taken to a Facebook authorization screen inside of the Facebook iOS app.

This authorization login screen has two links: a "Privacy Policy" link and a "Terms of Services" link. It looks like this:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the Rumble app 

2. From the Rumble Sign In screen, select the "Sign in with Facebook" option 

3. From the "Rumble-iOS Wants to Use" pop-up, select the "Continue" option 

4. From the "Open in Facebook option" select "Open"

5. From the "Rumble is requesting access to;" FB login screen, select either "Privacy Policy" or "Terms of Service"

6. Select the back (Left) arrow to return to the previous screen 

7. Note the "The page you requested was not found." error message

Result: Returning from either the "Privacy Policy" or "Terms of Service" results in an error message - user cannot login into the Rumble app

Expected: Users should be able to read Rumble's "Privacy Policy" and "Terms of Service" documents and then completed the Facebook login-authorization process 

Select the "Sign in with Facebook" option...

Select the "Continue" option from this prompt...

Select "Open" from this prompt...

Select these links...

Back out of the Privacy Policy...

Stuck on an error message. I have never, ever seen this with any other apps.
