Ever happened that you are in the middle of scrolling through your Facebook feed and recently got a notification “session expired,” and you start wondering why?

Seven ways to fix session Facebook expired

Check app status:

If Facebook sessions expire in a row, it might be the problem from Meta’s end. The server might cause a bug or create trouble. However, going down the app’s status isn’t a new thing. Facebook and Instagram slowed down in the past. Just check on the internet if the app status is fine. 

You can check on Google by writing, “is Facebook down today”?

Once you check the server isn’t a problem, you can move on to the next solution in order to recover the session error. 

Log in to your Facebook again

It is understood once the session is expired, you are already logged out from Facebook. Keep your app for 5 min logged out, and then log in with your username and password. 

Logging in again might load your feed in a regular manner, and you start enjoying your scrolling as you were doing 5 min ago. 

Restart your device
