Facebook iOS app update ‘fixes’ photo comments bug

Facebook has released an update to its mobile app for Apple’s iOS devices that fixes a bug that caused the wrong comments to show up on some photos. The update, which officially “fixes an issue that caused incorrect comments to be displayed for certain photos,” is available in version 4.0.3 of the Facebook app, so you’ll have to upgrade to that version to enjoy the fix.

If the iTunes App Store reviews are to be believed, however, it appears that the update doesn’t exactly deliver what it promises, with a number of people saying that the same problem with comments is still showing up. And many others say that the app continues to stall and freeze when loading photos or the News Feed.

From what we can tell, this update does nothing more than fix this issue (if it even does that), so if you were hoping for some sweet new features, you might as well just move along, because they aren’t here.

As of this writing, the 4.0.3 version of the app only has a user score of 2.5 stars on iTunes. Sounds like Facebook still has some more work to do.

Apple’s iPhone is one of the most popular phones on the planet, and whatever its current model happens to be almost always ranks among the best phones. This makes the iPhone an expensive purchase, which is where the iPhone SE comes in. Apple launched the iPhone SE in order to make an iPhone affordable to more people. The SE utilizes technology that’s a generation or two old and will often take the form factor of a previous iPhone model. Right now the it's a great phone to turn to for even more savings. There are some iPhone SE deals to take a look at out there, and while it’s difficult to find newer iPhone SE models, you can shop refurbished knowing the big retailers are likely backing the purchase with warranties and solid return windows. So whether you’re looking for some great iPhone deals or phone deals in general, below you’ll find the best iPhone SE deals to shop right now.
iPhone SE 2nd Gen deals

The second generation of the iPhone SE was initially launched in 2020, but it still manages to keep up with the needs of many phone users today. It utilizes the body of the Apple iPhone 8, which means it will have a home button and fingerprint ID instead of the Face ID technology in current iPhone models. That’s not much to give up, however, as the second generation iPhone SE still has a great display, a 12-megapixel camera with the ability to shoot 4K video, and wireless charging capability.

This one Apple Fitness feature completely changed how I exercise

Someone holding an iPhone with the Apple Fitness app open, showing the Custom Plans feature.

I have a confession to make: I'm not good at sticking to a workout routine. I love running, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), strength training, etc. In the moment of those exercises and in the post-workout euphoria, I feel amazing. But when it comes to waking up early in the morning to do these things before work? Well, that's where I really struggle.

This has been a problem for a while now. I go to bed with the goal of waking up early and going to the gym, but as I groggily open my eyes to snooze the alarm on my iPhone 15 Pro Max, I end up falling back asleep. And I've been repeating this over and over and over again.
