On Friday, the iOS app reported problems logging back in with two-factor authentication on Facebook.
According to sources, iPhone users were most affected by the log-out issue. Facebook’s iOS app were having difficulty logging back into their accounts when using two-factor authentication. However, most were able to log back in, but then the authentication codes needed were taking a long time to reach users.
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

Facebook in its statement said that there were some users who were logged out of their accounts unexpectedly on Friday due to a “configuration change,” and that the issue was fixed by Saturday morning. They’re sorry for the inconvenience caused to the users.
The problems began late on Friday when users on the r/Facebook Reddit board started reporting they were receiving “sign-in” prompts from their respective Facebook apps, even when they hadn’t signed out.
