It's crashing here too. The recent rewrite of the Facebook iOS app was stable (up until now) but they do not have a good track record of releasing reliable software.
Got a tip for us?

Facebook App on new iPhone 5 keeps crashing
Anyone else having this problem? Facebook app opens, then crashes. I closed it out completely with multitask button and I even deleted and reinstalled...
Hmm
Edit: I did just update to 6.0.1 if that means anything

I was about to make a thread about this. Mine started crashing before the update about an hour ago.
As posted before both my devices on iOS 5.1.1 are affected. Doesn't affect everyone and also not geographical so possible issue with a particular FB database / cluster.
Maybe it's because I updated to 6.0.1 .. I just had my iphone 5 delivered 2 hours ago.
Hi Guys,
My FB was working without any problems on iOS6 but has now started crashing after updating to 6.0.1 :-(
Have already tried deleting the App, deleting my Account within Settings and doing a Hard Reboot, still crashing this end when I try scrolling down.
Hopefully it'll get fixed soon.
Cheers Mark.

The problem is a change made on the FB servers, not ios and not the FB app. They need to either undo the server change or update the app. Ios will terminate any app that has a fault, typically overwriting memory. This can occur when a slight change to the protocol is made. It's poor testing that creates these problems.
Facebook crashes
I have a 4S, did the 6.0 update when it was available, and just now updated to 6.0.1. No problems ever with Facebook, until I did the 6.0.1 update.
Tried all the solutions listed, program crashes when in News Feed and scrolling, not in Timeline.

I'm happy enough to believe that, since it doesn't seem to affect everybody - but the fact it magically started crashing after the upgrade to iOS 6.0.1 for me does seem remarkably coincidental. I would love to understand the connection.
Must just be a facebook thing. Like the guy said above about twitter. People are saying the same thing about it. Widespread it seems.
I haven't even updated yet so it's definitely a server issue I think. It was working fine until about 3:45 and then all of a sudden it started crashing. I am still getting alerts and the like but I can't access them.
yeah.. weird. Oh well im staying on 6.0 in case any jailbreak is incompatible with 6.0.1 on the ip5... so no worries for me.
