Facebook has announced that the release of Facebook 13.1 for iOS will reduce the crash rate of its app by over 50%.

Recently, we solved a long-term mobile debugging problem and reduced the crash rate for people using the Facebook for iOS app by more than 50 percent. Several months ago, one of our top crashes on iOS was manifesting itself in Apple’s Core Data system, an object-relational mapper into the underlying database (SQLite). We were receiving these crashes into our crash report analyzer, but it took months to figure out the right angle to approach the problem from

The company goes into detail on how it determined the cause of the problem on its engineering blog. You can read more about it here.

If you just want a Facebook app with 50% fewer crashes, you can download the new version at the link below!

Everybody should delete the Facebook messenger app so that Facebook will get the picture that they can't force us to use separate apps for one service, that's like forcing us to have an iPod Classic for music, iPod touch for text messing, iPhone for only calling and iPad for games. Which is unreasonable.

Well said.

I don't like "split apps" either, but Apple did the same thing on OS X... unfortunately it's the trend these days. Maybe it just makes it easier to write the software and update the components separately, I don't see why else they'd be doing it.

What do you mean?

Notes used to be in Mail, reminders used to be in Calendars...

Just drag what you type into mail, but for reminders, you can add them into calender.

Been a year now and all,I ask for is to add the mark as spam feature but Jo, still can't learn.

From now on, I will reduce the number of times per week that I go home drunk and slap my wife by 50%. I'm super duper now, just like Facebook!

Will they ever remove the auto-play of videos in newsfeed, most people are on limited data in 3G/LTE and even in Wi-Fi. I haven't updated since that.

This app needs to go back in time and be unified as one for all not Facebook, messager, pages and so on....

I never experienced crashes, though in irony, this app needs this fix. Every time I comment, immediate crash happens.
