For over 48 hours now, some iPhone users have found themselves logged out of their Facebook accounts. The event happened without any warning on Friday late evening due to a “configuration change,” and the issue has been fixed as of Saturday morning although as early as today morning some users in Uganda are still facing the same issue.

Worry not, it is not a hack on your phone, a Facebook spokesperson confirmed that “On January 22, a configuration change caused some people to be logged out of their Facebook accounts. We investigated the issue and fixed it for everyone earlier today. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.”
So Facebook, heard it was a "configuration change".

👏👏👏 to the engineers who fixed the issue and patiently tried to explain the cause to us to no avail. https://t.co/AUARhCZ7W2
The issue was originally discovered by pundits on the r/Facebook Reddit board who were complaining about sudden prompts asking them to log back into the app, but they had not signed out.
