Solution For “Unfortunately, Facebook Has Stopped” Error Message On Galaxy S9 And Galaxy S9 Plus

Facebook is one of the most used and most popular social media apps today. If you own a Samsung Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus, you probably have this app, too. This allows the users to get updated and have access to the updates and features. Facebook has been very popular because it is the easiest way to get in touch with all your friends, relatives and acquaintances. You can chat them, start a group conversation, post some status or add some friends.

But have you experienced having fun but suddenly, you get the error saying “Unfortunately, Facebook has stopped”? This can be really annoying, right?

While the app is on the top downloaded apps in the Play Store, having a special support group, instead of spending the time in there, you should consider the fact that the Facebook app is now actually embedded right in the firmware of your Galaxy S9. You can try uninstalling your Facebook app and then try to download it again in the Play Store so you’ll be able to get the updated version. This is probably not the best idea but it needs a try.

How to Uninstall Facebook App from Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus

For a less complicated solution, follow this guide to see how you can uninstall the Facebook app on your Samsung Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus:

Switch on your Samsung Galaxy S9
Launch the Settings app from the Apps screen
Then tap on Application Manager from the options
Select Force Close
Then tap on Uninstall to remove the app from the device

This might fix the Facebook error of your Galaxy S9 but you need to consider it as a potential minor app crash. It can also be a firmware issue that you need to address.

Try downloading the app again from the Play Store and use it. If you’re still getting the “Unfortunately, Facebook has stopped” error message, then the issue might not be the app, but rather the firmware. You can test this theory by getting your Samsung Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus into Safe Mode.

How to Put Samsung Galaxy S9 into Safe Mode

Switch off your Samsung Galaxy S9
Press and hold the Power and Lock button simultaneously
Wait until the Galaxy S9 logo appears on the screen
Release the Power button then hold the Volume Down button once the logo appeared
Keep holding the two buttons once it restarts
The Safe Mode will start once it worked
Then release the Volume button as soon as you see the Safe Mode on the screen

This special mode helps you to check if you’re having issues with third-party apps because they are disabled in Safe Mode. You can easily uninstall all the unwanted apps to fix the issue it has been experiencing. Also, this is a good place to fix if the device has bugs. There are cases when you can’t delete some apps in a normal mode, but in here, the process just goes smoothly. If the error still shows up in Safe Mode, then it means that you might have to uninstall some other faulty third-party app.

Check for Other Options

If the Facebook error message still shows up in Safe Mode, then it is clear that the issue is with the firmware and it can only be addressed by resetting the hardware. Get into the Safe Mode again by following the process shown above then launch the Facebook App to check how it will behave. Try checking the Play Store also if there’s an update with the app.

The error message that says “Unfortunately, Facebook has stopped” should now be gone after following all the steps said above. Also, you can never go wrong if you perform a hard reset on your Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus. This would make all the error go away since it would delete everything and it will be restored back to its factory defaults. But before you do this, we recommend to backup all the files first.
