Question

I’m using the FB.ui call to generate a Facebook Wall post. I’m setting a link, caption, and description with the FB.ui call. The code looks something like this:

FB.ui({
    method: 'feed',
    name: 'MyName',
    image: 'http://myimage.com',
    link: 'http://mysite.com',
    to: 'A Facebook user ID',
    caption: 'my caption',
    description: 'my description'
},
function(response) {});

This appears to work fine: I successfully write the Wall post to the designated user’s wall. It all looks perfect on the web.

But when viewing the wall post on mobile on an IOS device, either through the Facebook app or on a mobile browser, the description does not appear.

This doesn’t happen with regular wall posts. And I’ve seen some apps post things where everything shows up. But it doesn’t appear when posting through my app.

Anyone know what might be happening?

Answer 1

I think it is a confirmed bug on Facebook.

Description of feed stories does not appear on m.facebook.com or
mobile native Facebook apps
