WTF is going on with my FB feed re photos???

LittleWalnutTree · 03/07/2019 16:34

All of a sudden today, there are no photos on my feed, instead there is a little message saying 'image may contain...' and then a description. One of them says 'image may contain plant, flower and'.

Bizarre. Is this happening to anybody else, and if it is just me, then how do I get it to go back to normal?

Happening to dh and i too, probably sort itself out soon.

MyNameIsCharlesII · 03/07/2019 16:37

Mine just aren’t loading up at all.

PinkCrayon · 03/07/2019 16:37

Mine too

ladypenelopeplum · 03/07/2019 16:37

It's happening to me as well, I thought it was DS using up all the bandwidth Blush

GooodMythicalMorning · 03/07/2019 16:37

I cant see any pictures, not even the description thing.

magicstar1 · 03/07/2019 16:38

Yes, it's been happening to me all day. Must be a FB problem, so I'd say it'll sort itself out in time.

MoanyAnna · 03/07/2019 16:38

It is a universal problem. They are working on it

AllGoodDogs · 03/07/2019 16:43

Same issue on FB and insta. I'll have to go talk to my family soon..

MilkItTilITurnItIntoCheese · 03/07/2019 16:44

Facebook, insta and WhatsApp here. Annoying.

Peridot1 · 03/07/2019 16:45

Same here. Thought it was our internet.

Butternutsqoosh · 03/07/2019 16:45

Oh me too! Thought it was my rubbish internet!

FlowerTink · 03/07/2019 16:46

Glad it's not just me!

EscapeTheCastle · 03/07/2019 16:52

Quite funny to see the description "may contain..." are we being hacked and observed by the enemy?

ratspeaker · 03/07/2019 18:01

Me too.
It did say may contain two people, wedding.

Aye. Its my pal's wedding photy.

LittleWalnutTree · 03/07/2019 18:11

That's a relief, hopefully they will sort it soon.

Another of mine says 'may contain person, smiling' Grin

Mine too. Irritating!

probstimeforanewname · 03/07/2019 18:13

It is happening to me too, I thought it was down to my internet connection!

Separate point but what is this "top posts" thing with social media sites these days? Why can't I just see the posts I want to see in reverse chronological order? They've even started doing it in groups now. So annoying to keep having to select recent posts. Does anyone work for a social media company who can explain?

Stormwhale · 03/07/2019 18:14

Yep problems with Facebook and WhatsApp for me.

LittleWalnutTree · 03/07/2019 18:17

I agree Probs

Still playing 'Guess Who' here...

OhMsBeliever · 03/07/2019 18:18

I just have blank posts. I want descriptions dammit! Then at least I can imagine what's in the pics.Grin

Clawdy · 03/07/2019 18:18

Same here, thought it was my phone playing up as usual.

LittleWalnutTree · 03/07/2019 18:21

Oh I don't even have descriptions now either, just a tantalising void.

freshasthebrightbluesky · 03/07/2019 18:21

The recent posts thing is annoying. It means that posts from a few days ago get lots of attention but posts from an hour ago get lost really far down the list.

I'm not getting the descriptions but I wonder if that means they're rolling out some sort of picture recognition thing a bit like that Google Glass where you're meant to be able to search for and buy something by taking a photo of an item?

Lindy2 · 03/07/2019 18:27

I'm glad I've seen this post. I've been switching my phone on and off to try and get it to work properly. At least I can stop doing that now.
You'd think Facebook would post something letting people know they are dealing with the problem so they know it's not their devices or internet.

LittleDoritt · 03/07/2019 18:29

Mine too. Selfishly glad that it's not my computer!
