Description

Expected behavior

We recently added social connections in the WP-Admin, so user can connect their social accounts from the dashboard, no need to access Calypso. More details here: pfln9p-on-p2

Actual behavior

When using the Jetpack mobile app, if I try to connect Facebook, I am asked to do that form the WordPress.com site, screenshot below:

Steps to reproduce the behavior
  1. In the Jetpack app, navigate to My Site → Social
  2. Tap Facebook and instead of continuing to connect Facebook, you are asked to do that via WordPress.com
Tested on Google Pixel 3, Android 12

Research direction

Begin with the My Site → Social → Facebook flow described in the issue and compare its behavior with the WP-Admin social-connection behavior referenced there. Done means the Jetpack Android app lets users connect Facebook from this flow without being redirected to WordPress.com and supports sharing blog posts as requested.
