Log in to Facebook and do the MOST important thing. Remember to select <strong>&#8220;Keep me Logged in&#8221;<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That is it, there should be no trouble now. I guess the trouble started with the latest Facebook App update (Version 3.4.1 on 20th April 2011).<\/p>\n<p>DK suggested disabling the HTTPS browsing setting which he also warned about the security risk. My opinion is to keep the HTTPS browsing on.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Update: Some people had tried and mentioned that it is NOT working. I tried on two different facebook accounts on iPhone and iPad. Initially, it seems not working. The reason is because it was not logged on properly.<\/p>\n<p>My advice for those who had done the steps and not working to try and go back to &#8220;Help Center&#8221; and see the settings again. It might not log on.<\/p>\n<p>So, after logging on and ticking the &#8220;keep me logged on&#8221;, remember to try to see the News Feed. It should be ok. End the Facebook app and try again to ensure.<\/p>\n<p>Let me know if this works.<\/p>\n<p>PS: If not working..\u00a0 can you try to disable secure browsing in your Facebook account (have to do it on a web browser). Go to Account -&gt; Account Settings -&gt; Account Security &#8211;&gt; Uncheck Secure browsing.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that it might not be safe\/secure in a public network.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>[ad#boxlist]<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.dk.sg\/2011\/04\/23\/facebook-iphone-apps-news-feed-showing-no-internet-connection-try-again\/\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those who had difficulty connecting to Facebook News Feed on iPhone app, here is a workaround for it.
