Check If Your Internet Connection Is Problematic Or Not
It might often happen that your Facebook news feed has stopped working and the reason behind it might be an unstable internet connection or some technical glitch, so the very basic and first step should be to check your internet connection or your router or modem and try disconnecting the internet connection and reconnect it again. Check other apps to ensure there is no problem with the internet connection whatsoever. On your PC you can directly connect via LAN whereas, on your android device, you can switch between Wi-Fi and cellular data to check whether your connection is problematic or not.
Refresh Your Facebook News Feed Manually
This is another case where you need to check if the problem lies with your Facebook app or not even if your internet connection is strong. Whether you are on your android/iPhone/PC you can just manually refresh your news feed by swiping down several times in order to reload it. This can solve the issue sometimes.
Relaunch The Facebook Application
In most cases just restarting the Facebook app would be good enough but when that solution is not working and you are getting stuck repeatedly, you can restart or force quit the app in order to stop the entire procedure. Follow the few simple steps to force stop the Facebook app:
- Tap on the Facebook app
- Select Stop or Force Stop
- Click on OK. Launch the app again and check if the news feed is successfully loading or not.
Log In And Out Of Your Facebook Account
You can also try signing in and out of your Facebook account and this might resolve the Facebook news feed not loading issue. Compared to the app or the mobile, you can also try logging in to Facebook through the web. Follow the following steps:

Clear Cache
Stored data, cache, and temporary files can often take up space while simultaneously slowing down your device therefore it is advisable to do a regular cleaning up of your cache and temporary data that has been unwantedly stored. You should also check the RAM and CPU of your respective device if they are required to be cleared. Even after clearing the cache if the problem persists, I would strongly recommend you to use the Facebook Lite app which is a lightweight version of the Facebook app still developed by Facebook. Follow the few simple steps to clear the cache:
