Let users sign in to your app with their Facebook accounts. They’ll share their email, name, and profile picture.
Facebook Login is not yet available for mobile apps. We are working on this feature. Currently, Facebook Login only works for web apps published to custom domains. Per Apple’s App Store guidelines, Facebook SSO cannot be present in iOS mobile builds until the “Sign in with Apple” feature is released.
You’ll need to set up a few things in Facebook first, then add those settings to Anything.

​
Before you start

Make sure you have:
An Anything project with User Accounts turned on
Your app running on a custom domain through Anything’s domain setup
