- You're using too much RAM, which is the amount of memory your device can use at once. You can check how much memory you have by going to Settings > Apps & Notifications > Memory, or by opening up Task Manager (if you don't know where that is, it's in the Taskbar). If you see that the number is too high, try freeing up some space by closing apps or removing unused ones from the list.

If you have an app that uses a lot of memory and isn't being used often enough to keep it running in the background, try closing it before opening Facebook so that it doesn't start using up unnecessary resources while it's not being used!
