Hi, first off I am new here. I have two Android devices, a tablet and a phone. My question is regarding the Facebook app. So I have Facebook on my phone and I logged in with my phone number. OK, now I want to log in to the Facebook app on my tablet with the the same Facebook account. Can I do this and will it mess up any settings if I do? I have it just the way I want it on my phone. Also since my tablet is wifi only and makes no calls, is in necessary to use my phone number? Hope this isn't too confusing. I just want to be sure everything will be ok.
 
I don't know the FB app very well, but presume you are just using the phone number as an identifier, in which case I can't see why it wouldn't work.

No problem with accessing the same account from 2 devices - if you use phone and computer, why should phone and tablet be any different?


True enough. In my situation I use an older version of Facebook on my phone because I have found that newer versions do not show my location on my posts and I like my location on my posts. I'm not sure if things have changed in that regard. It has been a while since I've tinkered with a new version.
