@vozersky get a rooted device, unlock FB dev settings, uncheck the "SSL pinning" there and then check if HTTPS filtering works for the app. Don't forget that in the case of an Android N+ device you'll also have to move certificate to the system store.

@ameshkov The FB Messenger works fine, if SSL pinning is disabling in internal settings.

[ameshkov]

Does it mean that we can actually filter SSL for it?

[ameshkov]

Is it required to move certificate to the system store?

[nkartyshov]

Yes, I moved certificate to the system store and enable https filtering for app.

[ameshkov]

And what about regular FB app?

[nkartyshov]

The same as the FB messenger.
