Is anyone else getting this “cookies” message every time they go to the Community page? This is the fourth time I’ve gotten it today. I decline all that I can decline, click “Save and Exit”, and next time? Yup, it's back.

What part of “Save” am I misunderstanding?

    I have not encountered this.

    Here’s the answer from MFP.

    “ This is actually an (unfortunately) expected behavior. In short, the app opens our community using a custom web browser instead of a traditional app page. Because that web browser isn't really a web browser, it doesn't utilize web cookies like you would expect when using Chrome, Firefox, etc. So you should expect to see that pop-up occur because that's how the web page is designed, but the actual web browser in the app isn't capable of saving those changes.

    For a smoother experience, I would actually recommend visiting using a traditional web browser on your phone or mobile device by going directly to https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/. You shouldn't experience this issue there.”

    Good Lord . . .🤯

    And for what it’s worth - using MFP in a browser on an iPhone is much less effective than the app.

    I’m guessing you’re using Android, or you accepted all the cookies.

    I don't use Android, so it must be the latter.
