S5 Facebook Video Freezes

Problem: In my Facebook app, every time I click a video to play it,the video only plays for a few seconds and then freezes and refuses to do anything.  I don’t know what to do. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it. This issue just started several days ago.

Solution: You will need to make sure that your phone is connected to a stable Internet connection first to eliminate any connection related issues that could cause the video to freeze. Try to check if the problem occurs when your phone is connected to a different Wi-Fi network or your mobile data.

Next, check if this issue is caused by the app itself. Try clearing the cache and data of the Facebook app. If this doesn’t work then uninstall the Facebook app and install a fresh version from the Google Play Store.

I also suggest that you wipe the cache partition of your phone from the recovery mode to delete the temporary data in your device. This type of data has been known to cause issues if it is corrupt.

S5 Facebook Freezes

Problem: When I go into Facebook and try to share something the screen freezes and I have to restart.  I have been having other issues sometimes with freezing and having had to restart.  

Solution: If you are having a problem with the Facebook app freezing then the first thing you should do is to clear the cache and data of the app. Uninstalling then reinstalling a fresh version from the Google Play Store is also highly recommended.

If the issue still persists then start your phone in recovery mode then wipe its cache partition.
