Facebook update crashes TikTok and other rivals
Facebook has apologised after its latest software update crashed rival apps on iPhones and iPads. Popular apps such as dating service Tinder, music-streaming app Spotify and video platform TikTok were among those rendered unusable. The problem affected apps that had integrated the "Login with Facebook" feature, which eliminates the need for a separate username and password. Independent developers were soon warning, on coding site Github, it was crashing their apps. "And on Thursday, Facebook said:"Yesterday, a new release... included a change that triggered crashes for some users in some apps using the Facebook iOS SDK. "We apologise for any inconvenience."
