How to force Android to open Facebook links IN the Facebook app?

It's 2019 and I still have not found a solution to this issue. I can't believe this isn't an issue for more people! It's so inconvenient to try to browse Facebook using Chrome for mobile. I can't imagine there isn't a simple solution to this issue.

Bro, I had same issue and found solution which worked for me. I reinstall all facebook apps/services even fb messager but not sure that its related to issue. Steps to delete is next. Go to "Phone settings" - > "Applications list" find facebook app, clear cache, reset app memory and then delete it. After all apps will be deleted then install them back. Hope it will help you

I found a solution for xiaomi, go to settings, mannage apps, go to the menu at the right hand corner (...), go to default apps, scroll all the way down to opening links, click on the app and click on open supported links, change to open. Took me ages to figure it out but it finally works now.

Figured I would put this out there for anyone else looking like I was. I ran into this recently myself but it wasn't specific to the Facebook app; LinkeIn and such was doing it too. Come to find out my Samsung phone did an update with the Samsung browser I use sometimes. A setting was added within Samsung browser>Settings>Useful features that had by default a setting for Open Links In Apps disabled....odd this defaulted that way. A quick enabling and I am back in business. Wonder if other browsers will do this at some point.
