Hi, I may have accidently happened upon the setting that will, hopefully stop this very annoying Facebook bug or whatever you want to call it. I haven’t had a chance to confirm my finding. Go to settings, contacts, turn off Find contacts in other apps. If this doesn’t work..My next observation is that the interrupting contact name pop-ups is a group setting. I don’t experience the name suggestion, if I’m replying to a friends post on my news feed or community pages. To keep from pulling out my hair, I use Notes or another app to write a comment, I then copy & paste on Facebook.
