Status
Fully working but requires additional configuration which reduces the system's filtering capabilities.
Configuration
Enable the App: Facebook Override.
Note that this will also disable HTTPS decryption for the Facebook website with a corresponding reduction in filtering and reporting capabilities. It is therefore recommended that the override is only enabled on wifi networks and that proper consideration is given to the risks.
Detail
The Facebook app does not utilise the device's trusted certificate store and therefore HTTPS decryption must be disabled for certain traffic. It is not possible to disable HTTPS decryption for the Facebook app without also disabling it for the Facebook website. Disabling HTTPS decryption significantly reduces the system's filtering and reporting capabilities.
