So let’s do this for Android 2022
- In the Facebook app go to the “Settings & Privacy” menu and “Settings”.
- After that, scroll down to the “Media and Contacts” section and tap on it.
- Finally, toggle the “Links open externally” option to the “On” position.
Facebook will now ask you to choose a browser when you click on any link to an external website.
