I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (San Diego, CA) in June 2017
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter through LinkedIn. I was asked about what I was doing in general in my company. Then the recruiter talked about what what features they were developing at Facebook, asked me if I was interested in an iOS developer position, and a phone interview was scheduled about a month later.
On the interview day, an iOS engineer called at the scheduled time. He first asked me how memory was managed in iOS. After that, he gave 2 coding problems to work.

Question 1
Given an array, without using extra space, move all zeros to the end and no-zeros to the beginning. The function should return the number of non-zeros.
Pretty standard interview process for FAANG/MANGA companies. Initial call with a recruiter, preliminary coding interview, on-site that spanned two days (because I asked) and a follow-up interview. The on-site interview consisted of 3 coding interviews, 1 behavioral, and 1 system design interview.
