The platform uses a feature called “infinite scrolling” to ensure users never run out of posts to view when scrolling their news feeds. In this article, we’re talking about how you can fix the “there are no more posts to show right now” error on Facebook.

Check your internet connection
The Facebook apps and the site require an active internet connection to work, which means if you don’t have one, you won’t be able to do much (or anything) on the platform. Check to make sure you’ve got proper internet access.
Check for updates
Check if any updates are available for the Facebook app on the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store, depending upon what device you’re using. If you’re trying to access the desktop site, make sure your browser is updated.Â
Reinstall the app
If updating the app wasn’t enough, try removing it and reinstalling it from scratch. This is bound to freshen things up on your device and possibly fix the issue you’re facing.Â

For new users: Add more friends, follow more pages
