Hello everyone! Ever since updating to I.O.S 7 over a week and a half ago. I have been having difficulties with my facebook page. Especially in regards to, not being able to write post on my own time line and also when i am on my news feed page. Is there somewhere that i could go to adjust the settings on my facebook page or is this an I.O.S 7 issue/ voiceover issue? Thanks a lot for your help and your time. I most greatly appreciate it. Sincerely, Chenelle.
