Why Does Facebook Say Session Expired?
A session keeps you logged in without requiring frequent re-authentication. When it expires, you must log in again. Here are some reasons this happens:
1. Security Measures
Facebook automatically expires sessions if it detects suspicious activity or an unrecognized device to protect your account.
2. Cache and Cookies Issues
Corrupted cache or outdated cookies can cause session expiration errors.
3. Outdated App or Browser
Using an old version of the Facebook app or an unsupported browser may lead to frequent session expirations.
4. Multiple Device Logins
If you log into Facebook on multiple devices, it may log you out from one for security reasons.
5. Changed Password
If you recently changed your Facebook password, all previous sessions expire, requiring a new login.
