I’m not trying to give you the runaround or be difficult. Facebook calls “email“ isn’t really email. It’s some meshugganah crap they pretend is email. That’s why it’s incompatible with a regular email app. Some platforms try to make themselves compatible with it, and some platforms don’t even bother.

Apple‘s iOS mail app doesn’t even bother to try. That’s why it doesn’t work. It’s not your fault, it’s Facebook‘s fault for tricking you into thinking that it should work when it’s obvious to a bunch of tech nerds at Apple that it shouldn’t. And the people at Apple didn’t bother to explain that to you. So that’s where the gap is.

To my other point: I strongly urge you to separate yourself on Facebook. It, and it’s parent company Meta, are very very bad. They’re bad for the planet, they’re bad for society, and more specifically, they are very bad for you in particular. What do you continue using them or not is a personal choice, but this is a very good example as to why it would be a good idea to start moving away from their services.

If you’d like some advice as to how to start, let me know. I’d be happy to provide you with some advice on how to start.
