Solved: Flash for iPhone/iPad

Valerie · ‎16-12-2013

I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad mini .... I can upload videos to Facebook, but can't watch them ! I get a message to upgrade flash, when I click on the link it says your device does not support flash ??? Why is this ? My daughter in law can watch them on her iPhone 4S .... I know I can download another browser, for example I downloaded Puffin, and that works, but why can't I see them if I use Safari as my DIL does ....

I know your problem is with viewing videos but I had a similar problem but it was not being able to view photos on my facebook app but once I deleted it and reinstalled it then it works fine now.

I'm not aware that flash is supported in iOS unless it's a new introduction. You probably need the You Tube app to watch video's ?

Hi,

I have no issues watching videos from facebook thru the facebook app like your daughter.

Have you tried resetting the iPhone using Settings,General,reset, Reset all settings or clear your cookies and data in settings, safari.

Here is an interesting thread from the Apple Community.

I have no probs with YouTube vids, but strange that I can upload my own vids to Facebook then not be able to see them ... Don't want to re set all my settings as there might be some I don't want changing!
Next time I see my DIL I think I will check all her settings against mine and see if there is a difference

I thought that was the case...
It should get better as more websites start to support HTML5 but for now at least we can sideload Flash on Androids.

Thanks anyway
