Facebook users have reported a new sound that appears while scrolling on the app on their cellphones.
The noise is not a new feature but rather a temporary bug, according to META spokesperson Andy Stone.
"Hearing a chirping noise while scrolling through your Facebook Feed on your iPhone? It’s not you, it’s us! And it’s an unfortunate technical error that we're in the process of fixing," Stone wrote on Threads and X (formerly Twitter).
For those who want the the bird sound to disappear immediately, there is a simple option.
