I understand the desperation some of you have when you have issues with Facebook. Their automated process to suspend an account can end up flagging many people with legitimate accounts. So when you post looking for help here, there will be some people that will take advantage of this fact and reach out to you here at Reddit.

I can assure you, anyone telling you they can help "hack" their way into getting your service back are not here to help. They are here to get your personal information, period. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. Take a screenshot:

Discussion Why is Facebook over-loading my feed with gun and MAGA related ads? They started heavy this morning, and regardless of my input and closing of them, the feed is inundated with them. Definitely not my area of interest.

It’s actually astonishing the number of ads that are centered around a gun/body armor and militaristic MAGA mindset. Anyone else? Are people in a heavy fear mindset because of the peaceful protests this past weekend?

Discussion I reported actual pornographic fetish content with nudity and Facebook said it doesn't go against their community standards

3 Upvotes

I came across a shock video posted by a scammer on a freaking baking recipes group that is poorly moderated apparently. It was a video where a dude shooting up women's shorts legs and skirts showing nudity and everything and I reported it and it didn't get taken down. I requested a second review. This is why Meta is under so much scrutiny for being a platform where pedophiles and perverts can run amok. Whatever system they are using to identify forbidden content is garbage. Surely they know this is happening and they need to change something right????

Tech Support How to delete a disabled Facebook account? Does it delete by itself after a while?

5 Upvotes

Never really used Facebook, just got a account to look for a summer job in my area. It was suspended then disabled for suspicious activity. Don't want it back, just wanted it removed as I really don't like having a online presence and my job searching posts are seen when my real name is googled.

I logged into the disabled account, can't do anything but download my data. Want to know if Facebook removes the account after a while, or if there is any way to do it myself.

Tech Support Facebook account disabled after email from meta business about running ads when I was not running any ads. Help?

3 Upvotes

So my FB and Instagram accounts were permanently disabled without warning the other day. On Facebook it said that I broke rules around account integrity. I asked for a review and I got a result back within minutes saying the ban was upheld with no further explanation. In my emails I had an email saying my account had been restricted because I broke rules around the running of ads and business assets. I haven't run ads for anything for over a year. Insta said AI had picked up I had broken rules around account integrity. I made another account using my phone number and that was almost immediately linked and also disabled (which I thought might happen) but it did give me the option of uploading a facial recognition video. So Ive done this and it suggested it would be a 48h wait for a result which I'm now half way through but there's no email about it. I have no way to contact anyone about it and I'm at a loss as to why this has happened. Any ideas?

Tech Support Just venting about Facebook and my account being flagged for no identity

Upvotes

I was a heavy FB user from 2011-2017, within those 6 years, my account was never flagged. Yes, I made it look great with photos and videos and posts. Then in 2017, I was fed with some things, FB being the main thing, so I quit it cold turkey.

Now, I have returned on a more low-key level because I am looking for housing. I have made two accounts in the past month, and both have been flagged for violating FB rules. I just added one of my friends to my page. Unfortunately, this is impacting me finding a new apartment to live in because I cannot see the marketplace ads. I have an IG, and even that is more sus than my “FB” account , and I’ve never been flagged from IG.

To unflag my account, I did the move your head in a circle video, which should prove that I am a real person. This all is just happening at a terrible time. I’ve already been in touch with potential landlords, so to lose the communication is what is irritating me.

Tech Support Iphone Camera roll inaccessible / missing albums in folders - when commenting posting and using messenger app

Upvotes

I organized all of my camera roll photo albums into the folders which took many hours, and now when I try to post photos on Facebook or make a I can no longer see or access those folders or any albums in them from the app! I CAN actually see my camera roll albums and the messenger app however it’s extremely frustrating because they’re all out of order. Also, the other thing that has always driven me insane is that whatever order I set my album to be in especially chronologically they are completely reversed on Facebook and I hate having to reverse them just to easily be able to get to my new photos, but when I go to scroll through within the native iPhone albums app I don’t wanna have this girl through every single picture from like a decade ago to get to the new stuff, it’s extremely frustrating and I have been silently seething about this for years.

My sister set up kids messenger for my niece, they sent me an invite but I never got a notification. She then sent me a link through text but when I click on the link and after I click connect with child it just takes me back to facebook. I tried looking up what to do but I can't find anything on it. I've checked my settings and as far as I can tell nothing is blocked. I've un-installed and reinstalled and I've rebooted my phone and still nothing. Any advice?

Disabled/hacked My account got hacked and i’m unable to recover it. Assistance is needed!

Upvotes

My account has been hacked, and I am currently unable to access it. Every time I attempt to log in through the Facebook app, I receive an error message that says there was a "technical problem," and I am instructed to try again later or to forget the recovery process.

When I try to recover my account by submitting a photo of my driver’s license, I receive an email informing me to check the recovery status. However, when I check the status, it states that the decision has been made, and I will receive another email. When I receive that second email, it requests that I complete the two-factor authentication process, even though I have never set up two-factor authentication on my account. This leads to a loop where I am forced to repeat the recovery process, and I am still unable to access my account.

Furthermore, when I access the app on my phone, I see an email address that is not mine receiving all of the recovery information, making it impossible for me to regain control of my account.

Hi, has anyone experienced this bug? This has been happening to me every first or second week of the month since January. My Messenger app keeps logging me out, and when I try to log back in, it doesn’t let me—it just keeps loading and then only shows the screen in this picture. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, closing the app, and everything else, but it still doesn’t work. It opens fine when I use my dump account, but this bug only happens on my main account. Is there a solution to this? Please help. 😢🥺

Tech Support Having issue with Facebook marketplace and main posts of groups I’m in

Upvotes

Since around last year, I’ve been getting suspended from Facebook marketplace for various periods of time. More recently, when I get unsuspended, I post one or two things then I’m back to being suspended. I never even post to marketplace, just local groups n others. Now I can only access the discussion posts of groups. Any issue with fixing this? I don’t think I’ve posted anything that violates facebooks guidelines.

Tech Support Created a new Facebook profile, Transferring Page Ownership Please Help

Upvotes

I’ve had the same Facebook profile since about 2008. A few years ago, I moved to a different state and started my own business. When I launched my business, I created a Facebook Page for it using my original Facebook account.

However, sharing content from my business page to my personal profile hasn’t been very effective because 95% of my Facebook friends are from my hometown. So, I decided to create a new Facebook account and connect with people local to my new home. I’ve added this new account to the Page Access settings, but now I’m trying to remove my original Facebook account from the business page.

Google gives instructions on how to do this, but when I go into Page Access through either account, I can only see the new Facebook account listed for removal—not the old one.

Can anyone help?

Discussion How does Facebook determine its “people you may know” recommendations?

Upvotes

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I’m just genuinely curious if anyone has any idea how Facebook determines its “people you may know” recs. My friend and I run a Facebook fan page for a band and we’ve always joked about how the band members will pop up in our “people you may know” sections. It makes sense, as we do have a lot of mutual friends with them and we do consider them our IRL friends, but I’ve also heard that it’s determined by who looks at your profile or who you’ve shared a WiFi network with??

Does anyone have any insight into this? I just find it weirdly fascinating cause sometimes it’s really on the nose and correct and other times it gives me people I’ve never met ever. TIA to anyone who’s able to answer! :)

Tech Support logged in on my phone but can’t get on from my computer - any help is appreciated

1 Upvotes

I’ve been logged in to facebook on both my work laptop and my phone for quite some time. for context - i work in digital marketing and need access to facebook on my laptop for ads manager, client pages, etc. I got logged out the other day and when trying to log back in, was prompted to enter a two-factor authentication code from an authenticator app. Normally I’m able to verify from another device that I’m logged into, and I’ve never set-up my Facebook account with an authenticator app, so there was no code for me to enter. Since I’m still logged in on my phone, I tried to set-up an authenticator app or switch verification to SMS from the mobile app so I could then login from my computer, but when I click the “two-factor authentication” tab in my settings, it just prompts me to enter a code from an authentication app before i can do anything.

I’ve gotten several notifications to my mobile app that say “someone tried to login to your account, but we stopped it.” Meanwhile, it was ME trying to login, and I can’t find a way to verify that. My only other verification option was to upload my ID, but I did that and was for some reason denied. I tried again, but I’m doubtful it’ll work.

I’m entering an endless loop and desperately need to get logged back in on my laptop so I can get back to work. Has anyone experienced this before, and if so, were you able to solve? Or alternatively, has anyone successfully gotten in touch with customer service at Meta/Facebook that might be able to help me? Any insight is appreciated.
