    The Facebook profile link is a URL link, but not all Facebook URL links are profile links. Some Facebook URL links may lead to posts, videos, or other content.

    You can connect to a nearby WiFi (or WLAN) network instead. Turn off Mobile Data on your phone, to prevent accidentally using mobile data.
