Question

I do not see Facebook on my new iPhone 6. How do I download it?

Community Answer

Find the app (pre-installed on your phone) called 'App Store', it is mainly blue with white text, and tap on it to open the app. Then click on the 'search' bar and type in 'Facebook'. After a moment some results should come up so scroll through to find Facebook and click on the little button that says 'GET' or 'INSTALL'. It should begin downloading. Once it is downloaded, tap on it to open it.

Question

Why does my iPhone 5C ask for a WiFi connection when installing Facebook?

Community Answer

In order to install any app, you have to download it first, and to download anything you need an internet connection. You will also need an internet connection to be able to use an app like Facebook, since this is basically an app version of a website. If you don't have a WiFi connection or data on your phone, you can go to a public place that does.

Yes, you can. Open iTunes, go to the App Store, and click the "top free iPhone apps" at the right-hand side. It will be in that list.

How do I install Facebook on an iOS 7 iPhone 4?

You can't--Facebook requires iOS 8 or higher. You can still use the Facebook desktop site in your Safari browser, however.

Question

Can I download Facebook using my phone data instead of Wi-Fi?

Community Answer

Indeed you can! If this isn't working for some reason, open the Settings app, scroll down to "iTunes & App Store" and tap it, and slide "Use Cellular Data" at the bottom of the screen right. Doing so may incur extra charges on your data plan, however.
