Hi all. I keep getting the above message/notification. I don't know what upload it is referring to, and when I 'Tap for options' all I get is a screen saying I don't have any pending stories.
Top left there's a <left arrow> to 'Your posts' which just takes me to my phone's home screen, and top right a camera icon which takes me to the photo gallery. If I cancel out of this the message has gone, but it keeps returning.
How do I get rid of this annoying message permanently?!
TIA
 
I am getting the SAME message! It started yesterday, so maybe it's residual bug from the crash?
Well, I hope the OP hasn't been suffering with the same bug for the last 20 months. :eek: That would really suck. :(

Anyway, between the FB and IG outage, and a sporatic Charter outage, its worth keeping an eye on this.

Answer: I too had this problem; I did not like seeing that there was no solution yet. THIS is what worked for me; I am not saying it is THE solution, it is just one way to get around the annoying (and repetitive!) message: “Facebook upload failed - Tap for options” yet there were no options! I uninstalled Facebook from my phone; went back to Play Store & Reinstalled it. Problem gone.


Note: there is a Technipage listing titled: “Facebook for Android: Clear Stuck Uploads – Technipages” which eventually said to, in Android settings to “CLEAR DATA”. Not being a super-tech, I did not like the ominous warning which came with that; I did not want my Facebook data cleared; contacts cleared, etc.

SO, I realized that my laptop version of FB would survive the removal from my phone. Which is what led me to Uninstall from the phone, and Reinstall. It Worked!
