Is this the Facebook App or site?

Either are not under our control but until I know if it's the web page or app I can't go look for this.

The App

I am guessing that it is from the app (recent update maybe) Tried uploading screenshot of it, but not that tech savvy. It's a bar below the active windows that are open - FB logo and "Good Afternoon James". I can swipe up on this to launch the app.

That App.

Due to how apps work you are not going to like my answers. Apple's app world is not about you. If an app is updated there may be no way back unless the author issues such but in the case of Facebook apps there is no way they'll have more than a few version since well, are you are programmer and understand "forking" and such?

Maybe there is a setting that you didn't find but that's up the to developers to put that in.

Facebook's leader is a dictator so it may be up to you to convince him to change.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/facebook/id284882215 and it's comments means I won't install that thing.

....gee... I was just beginning to like you....
LOL
I was messing around in settings and must've done something right because it's gone now.

Thanks again for looking in to this for me.
Have a great weekend.

But this one? Pass.

Good to see you poked around the settings. At least there was no bear in there.
