On iPad Pro (5th Gen), Facebook comments can’t be accessed, app freezes after install of iOS 15.1

I own an iPad Pro (5th Gen). I updated to the iOS to version 15.1. Now Facebook comments can’t be seen and the Facebook app itself freezes up when I try, forcing me to close the app and open it again (though I still can’t click on ‘COMMENTS’ without the app freezing). Clearing caches, deleting the Facebook, shutting down the iPad, waiting several minutes, then re-starting the iPad, and re-downloading the Facebook app has not worked. The problem IS NOT linked to my iPhone. The problem IS NOT my Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, internet connection (broadband), nor internet bandwidth. I have the most recent Facebook updates installed. The problem discussed happened only after installing iOS version 15.1.

I have found a way round the freezing on comments on Facebook. I disconnected the keyboard and everything is fine. However as soon as i reattach the keyboard the problem returns. Tried every other option suggested but it wont work. Very annoying. Any ideas ?

I was having the same issue even after I upgraded to a new iPad Pro. I was not having this issue with my iPhone. Once I did this simple step within my settings it worked and I was happy! Try this….

Settings

Accessibility

Keyboards

Full Keyboard Access

Turn to on


this should fix the problem as it did for me.
