in Techie Stuff
Afternoon all 
*deep breath*
So for the past 6 months, i've had an annoying problem on my FB account where i'm not receiving group notifications (in-app and on my phone itself) on time. I'm a member of around 20 groups and it's happening with all of them atm. These often pop up delayed by 2-3 hours - when they do finally turn up. As I'm an active member of a hobby community, i'm missing out on a lot of posts and info and have tried contacting facebook to help but have hit a brick wall as there's no way to contact them to explain my issue (!)
.
I've deleted and reinstalled the facebook app twice but it didn't help. I then checked on my laptop and i'm having the same issues online there too so seems like there's a technical glitch on my account itself. Any help folks? This thing is driving me mad now
Many thanks in advance.

I get group notifications a few hours after the reply is posted. If it bothers you that much just look in the group regularly.1

As has been alluded to this is not unique to you. It would appear to be a Facebook thing.I can confirm that while I'm not a member of any groups on Facebook anything whatsoever to do with Facebook on my account the notifications are anywhere from immediate to delayed by a few hours.You can prove to yourself that the issue is not caused by your account - just set up another account with another email address, join one of your groups and then if the same problems continue to occur there's nothing wrong with your original account and that's the way the system works.2

Again no help to the OP but I find FB to be flakey most of the time. I'll go in and much of the information in the feed is many days old, and posts I had read on my last visit are nowhere to be found.

WHY?It's my only form of communication with others that doesn't appear in chronological order - what do they hope to achieve?0
