What happened to the iPhones that were recently disconnected from Facebook?

Do you have an iPhone and recently found yourself logged out of the Facebook app? You're not alone! Many users were logged out and only managed to log back in after several attempts. Specifically, when they went to use the app, as they are extremely unlikely to log out every time they use it, they found that it was asking them to log in again.

In some cases, iPhone users were even asked for their ID before they could log back into their profiles. For those who had enabled authentication, things became even more complicated, as there was a significant delay in sending the sms messages containing the authentication code.

Twitter users were hardly going to let this go without comment, and the topic even trended for several hours.

What does Facebook have to say?
Its official post did not make clear what caused the disruption and said the following: “We are aware that some users are experiencing problems accessing Facebook. We are working to restore normal service as quickly as possible.”
