The problem of a Facebook request not being processed is an increasingly common one, that often results in disruption of activities. So to keep these difficulties from happening, it is best to know the steps to resolve this problem.
Step 1: Check Your Network
The first thing to do is to check your network connection and make sure there is a stable connection. This can be done by running a speedtest and seeing if the speed is equal to or higher than your network plan rate. If it is not, then try switching the Wi-Fi router off and on again. If the problem persists, contact your internet service provider for assistance.
Step 2: Clear Cache and Data
If the network difficulty is not the cause of the issue, then try to clear the cache and data of the Facebook app itself. Here's how to do it:
- Open the Settings app on your device.
- Scroll down and select Apps & Notifications.
- Tap on the App Info tab.
- Tap on the Facebook app
- Select Storage & Cache
- Tap Clear Cache and Clear Data.
- Restart the Facebook app.
Step 3: Update Facebook
If the above steps do not fix the problem, try to update the Facebook app by going to the Apps Store or Play Store and finding the latest version of Facebook. Usually updating the app will solve this problem.
Step 4: Re-install Facebook
If the problem is still not solved, you may need to re-install the Facebook app by deleting the app and then going to the App Store or Play Store and downloading the latest version.
Step 5: Check Your Browser
If the problem persists even after trying the steps mentioned above, then try accessing the app on a different browser. If the browser's cache is not cleared, then try to clear the browser's cache and then try using the Facebook app.
