You’re very eager to check a friend’s picture on Facebook or you have probably heard a gist about someone and you want to confirm on Facebook, and your Facebook is telling you “no internet connection”. That feeling can be annoying that you even want to smash the phone due to the urgency of the gist.
One of these two factors is responsible for your Facebook saying ” no internet connection”:
- A very slow internet connection that makes the IP address find it difficult to connect with the server within the glimpse of seconds
- No data connection
- The Facebook application is down
A Very Slow Internet Connection:
Facebook is the largest social media platform with over 2 billion users. So, network issues are bound to happen. Facebook is a versatile company that owns WhatsApp, Instagram, and its recent upgrade to meta. So it’s apparent to encounter issues. A very slow internet connection can make it difficult for you to log into your account, it can prevent you from accessing recent pictures, no matter how you reload your page.
This is because the IP address finds it difficult to connect with the server within a glimpse of seconds.

No Data Connection:
Another reason for no internet connection is if you are not connected to the internet, I.e if your data connection is not on. It may be difficult trying to log into your Facebook account. But, recently, Facebook offers free 20MB for users daily. So, if you don’t have data, you can still log in to your Facebook account but the only difference is that you won’t be able to view people’s pictures. Despite this free 20MB offer, you have to make sure your phone data connection is on.
