Facebook changed something today (Thursday)

They’ve changed the algorithm again. I’ve got code in placeholders on four sites and none of the four show up. I’m going to dig around for some articles on it. Check your widgets everyone! Mine are a no show.

As far as I can tell thus far it does not effect chrome or edge. But Apple devices browsing with Safari are not seeing Facebook plug ins.

I have no idea if this is relevant..

Apple's latest IOS release requires that user give tracking permission. Without it FB can't track you across devices, so that may have broken some advertising functionality.. ..or have nothing to do with it..

Thanks Paul. Understood. As many are on Apple devices I think I’ll drop Facebook from the sites. I’ve never believed anything should make you click away from web pages. Always hated the idea. But people seem to want it.
Not a great loss functional design. I’m not sure what has changed with the algorithm, but not sure I want to fight it at the moment.
