Whenever i text someone in FACEBOOK website, it just keeps it's status on sending and i have to refresh for it to actually send and i have enhanced tracking protection off

I beat the game, it was just closed at 157157 by a friends call which is also super hilarious 😆. I used split screen and the alien emoji 👽. I played 5 days to accomplish it. If you can repeat it maybe you get a higher one even, it took almost 2 hours to get this score.

I'm a little frustrated by this, and since it's cost me 20 hours of my time so far I thought I'd share and hope maybe it gets better.

Somewhere my credit card number was compromised, I use it online and for travel, it happens every few years and usually gets caught quickly by the card company. This time was different. Someone decided to open a Sam's membership, order $1000 worth of Tide Pods, and a Facebook Advertising account. Dispute the Sam's stuff was easy and I got a new card. Importunely the Facebook Advertising was set to charge in $2 increments. The credit card company issued a new card, but gave auto billers the new card number, including Facebook. I have hundreds of $2 charges to fight one by one.

Talking to the bank fraud department I get a sigh. Apparently Facebook's internal systems don't flag hundreds of $2 charges a day for an advertising account as suspicious. I have asked the bank to stop giving the new number to Facebook, to outright block them (I don't use Facebook at all), and help me with the time consuming task of disputing hundreds of Facebook charges. Still - the journey continues.

So thanks Facebook, this is annoying.

And since I had my instagram accounts linked to one Meta account, lost them all simultaneously as well.

Discovered the emails after I found out I got logged out from both my personal and professional instagram accounts.

1: Connection near XXX on a new device

2: We've detected signs that someone may have accessed your account. We've therefore taken some steps to protect you.

3: Someone has just logged into your Facebook account near XXX

4: You have 180 days to act. Your Facebook account has been suspended. This is because your account, or the activity recorded on it, does not comply with our Terms of Service regarding who is authorized to use Facebook.

5) (After 2 minutes): Your Facebook account has been permanently deactivated. You requested a review of this decision, but we confirm that your account, or the activity on it, violated our Terms of Service. You cannot request another review.

I tried logging in to my instagram accounts separately but when I click on "change password" it just refuses to do that and show an error message.

My guess is they changed my date of birth then immediately appealed the suspension with a lame AI ID which got flagged (I saw someone posting about this days ago)

Would appreciate your help folks, this is very frustrating. thanks

I’m a small-business owner and maker, and I recently discovered something happening on my Facebook Reels that I believe other creators need to know about.
A friend noticed Facebook had been attaching “Shop this reel” recommendations to my original videos, directing viewers toward similar products sold by other businesses, including Walmart, Etsy, and other merchants.
I make botanical skincare products and handmade goods under my small business, KK Homestead. My Reels document everything from distilling botanicals and formulating products to crocheting ornaments and packing customers’ orders.
Imagine spending hours developing a product, making it by hand, filming the process, and building an audience—only for Facebook to use that same Reel to recommend someone else’s merchandise.
I initially couldn’t even see these shopping recommendations myself. A friend had to send me screenshots.
I started investigating and discovered the same thing happening on other independent makers’ Reels. One ceramic artist was showcasing an original handmade frog sculpture, and Facebook displayed recommendations for frog-themed products from Etsy, Temu, and SHEIN, including sponsored listings.
This is different from ordinary advertising.
I’m not objecting to clearly labeled advertisements appearing in the feed. I’m questioning the practice of using recognizable products in a maker’s original content to recommend competing merchandise directly alongside that work.
I contacted Meta Support on October 11. Its automated assistant explained that these shopping recommendations use AI-powered visual matching and can draw from advertisers’ product catalogs.
It also told me there was no account-wide opt-out available to creators. When I requested escalation to a human representative, that transfer was unavailable.
I have since submitted a formal consumer complaint to the California Attorney General.
I understand that Meta operates an advertising-supported platform. But I believe creators should have meaningful control over whether their original work becomes a shopping recommendation surface for competing businesses.
What concerns me most is that makers may not even realize this is happening because the feature isn’t necessarily displayed to every viewer.
My question to other creators and small-business owners:
Have you seen “Shop this reel” recommendations appearing on your own organic Reels?
If you haven’t, consider asking a friend to check from their account. You might be surprised by what appears.
And if you’ve encountered this, have you found any way to disable it?
I’m genuinely interested in hearing whether other makers are experiencing the same thing and how widespread this practice has become.

It seems to favor people who promote violence or very obscure relationships on Facebook. I have no respect for Zuck.

Help! One of my clients (wellness clinic) posted about GLP-1s and had pricing of vitamin infusions etc. and Facebook suspended the page. That suspension cascaded down to each admin where I can’t manage other Facebook pages for 12 MONTHS!!!! I was managing pages on Meta Business Suite. I have 25+ other clients… what do I do now??? Can I use a 3rd-party scheduler that allows clients to log in individually and not log in with my Facebook?

Facebook is still reviewing suspension. I see peptide ads all the time on facebook and they are selling them online. My client is a medical clinic fully licensed and patients get prescribed in person only. Makes no sense this suspension.

If you're Australian and you've experienced unfair treatment by Meta (Facebook or Instagram), particularly where it has affected your business, I strongly encourage you to report it to the ACCC.
 
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has already scrutinised Meta and other major digital platforms. It has the authority to investigate potential breaches of Australian competition and consumer laws, pursue enforcement action and help inform future regulatory reform.
Your complaint matters, even if the ACCC cannot resolve your individual case.
 
The ACCC records reports about concerning business practices and uses this information to identify patterns of harm, particularly those affecting Australian consumers and small businesses.
 
As the ACCC explains, the experiences people share become part of its knowledge base, helping it identify issues that deserve greater regulatory attention.
The more Australians who formally report unfair practices, the stronger the evidence of widespread problems becomes.
 
Meta operates in Australia and must comply with Australian law. Meaningful change is more likely when complaints are formally documented rather than confined to social media discussions.
 
Don't just complain about Meta on Facebook. Make your experience count by reporting it to Australia's competition and consumer regulator.

I’ve restricted several Facebook posts to a small list of Specific Friends, all male. I’ve double-checked that no female accounts are included.

Yet my Professional Mode insights repeatedly show 85–100% of views from women aged 35–44, often with the source listed as “Unavailable”.
Only one person on the list doesn’t publicly display his gender, but he’s also the only one who fits the male 25–34 demographic, which occasionally appears as a small percentage of views.

How is this possible? Are Facebook’s demographics inaccurate, or could it be counting my own views?

Ya había intentado activarla, pero nunca funcioaba, ni contraseña me pedia para entrar porque reconocía mi celular. Hoy sali de la cuenta y quise entrar al rededor de una hora después pero ahora me pide código, ninguna de las llaves que había guardado antes intentando activarlo funciona, y por obvias razones tampoco tengo códigos BackUp. Cuando trato de recuperar la cuenta, entro en un loop en donde vuelve a pedir el código (despues de cambiar contraseña), y cuando selecciono la opción alterantiva (en este caso me pide una selfie mía) no abre. Ya intenté también en otros buscadores y nada ¿Alguien sabe qué puedo hacer?

An individual made a report on a business account for a bad experience they had and a new, blatantly fake account gave a fake support email in a terrible attempt at scamming/phishing.

I reported that message, and after review... "We didn't remove the comment".

I guess email phishing scams are allowed on Facebook!

I am aware many FB page administrators are in a limbo when they rely heavily on links to external sites.

With the implementation of the rules, how are you guys coping with it and what sort of changes you made in order to adapt of this policy shift by Meta?

I feel like I’ve tried every fix I can think of so I’m coming here. I don’t receive any push notification to my phone and don’t remember a time I ever did. I will just see the little red circle on the app with a number and then some of them will pop up in the notifications tap in the app. I’ve made sure notifications are on on my phone and app. They just don’t work. How do I fix this

I've been consistently getting a few new followers per day over the last week or so. I've had it since 2019 and got it up to about 9k followers, but then I just kina forgot about it and I've posted like 8 memes and gotten 5 likes this year. The last one in August. So how the heck are new people finding this page? Are these all bots or something?

Not able to complete task to get a passkey so my fb acct will open

I got Instagram premium to talk to support. I was hoping they would help me but they opened a case and stopped replying.

My premium is about to end and I don’t wanna renew it for this dumb thing. Has any had experience with this before can help?

Hello, i need help. My Facebook was Suspended due to something my kid did on her Instagram. I am not attached to her Instagram, i have no access to her Instagram but they are saying the only way to appeal is through that Instagram. Someone please get me in touch with Meta or Facebook to explain they got this one wrong. Thanks

weird question, I'll delete if it's not allowed-

I have a friend with an on again off again toxic relationship, and they've asked me to help keep them away from it, keep them from unblocking their ex, etc. But short of physically pulling the phone from their hands and going into their accounts and blocking the person, I can't do much, and once a week or whatever they'll unblock the person, go into a spiral and it'll take days to convince them that blocking their ex is the right move, and then a week later we go through the whole thing again.

I'm wondering if there is some app or website that would put some kind of password or something to stop my friend from unblocking their ex, without them having to make a Facebook teen account - my friend needs to have full access to Facebook/Messenger outside of this one person and I'm not their parent so I'm not interested in actually having access to their private info or anything like that. I just want a password that I could know and they wouldn't know, or like I would need to verify it on my own phone through my own accounts? Or send a two factor code to my phone number?

But this needs to work without restricting my friend's access to all the other aspects of social media.

Basically, is there an app that puts a password or some kind of verification or something on the ability to unblock someone? Or is there a way to set up parental controls where this is the ONLY thing I have access to? Thanks in advance!

Had this account 15 years no problems moved to META and one day later noticed i was logged out (desktop) logged in and lots of crypto messages sent to friends and not by me. cant change password because its an old phone number. what options do i have?

I'm experiencing a very frustrating issue with a Facebook Group I founded, and I'm wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing or found a solution.

I temporarily deactivated my Facebook account. After reactivating it, I discovered that I'm still officially listed as an admin of my group, but I've completely lost access to all admin and moderation tools.

The group has over 15,500 members. It's active, people are posting every day, and I can't manage anything. Facebook even gives me the option to "Report to group admins" on posts, despite officially identifying me as an admin!

Here's what I've tried so far:

1) Submitted multiple bug reports through Facebook, with no response or resolution.

2) Contacted Meta Business Support repeatedly over several weeks.

3) Spent around five hours in one day being transferred between eight different support agents.

4) Explained countless times that this is a Facebook Group, not a Page, and that my personal account isn't restricted.

5) Eventually, a support agent confirmed that their department couldn't investigate Facebook Group permission issues and redirected me to the same bug-reporting feature I'd already tried.

Nobody has been able to escalate the issue to a technical team or provide an actual solution.

Meanwhile, I'm still publicly listed as an administrator of a large, active group that I have absolutely no ability to moderate.

Has anyone experienced this exact bug after deactivating and reactivating their Facebook account?

More importantly, has anyone successfully recovered their admin tools? How?

Any genuine advice would be greatly appreciated.

Recently, I started seeing that my Messenger was locked on PC only. When I opened it to investigate, it stated that I needed to give a government ID to verify myself to use the service. I didn't care; I could use my phone just fine. I exited and continued using Facebook as normal: which is really just watching zoo videos and reading up on international news. I'm a quiet user; hardly do more than add a like to things.

However, this morning (after reading the day's news and then closing FB on my laptop), I opened Messenger on my phone. It stated I needed to show some sort of documentation to enter. I looked through the options to find something that wouldn't give my private government number to Facebook. They could have my face and birthday, but I'm not giving up my tax ID or my government number to Facebook.

Marriage license was an option. So, I took a picture of that. Sent it. FB came back within 2 minutes and stated that the document was invalid. I thought: "Okay. Maybe FB just doesn't understand documents not in English." Stupid system, but whatever.

I went to open up FB again on my laptop thinking I could see the list of options better and do some research, and it stated my account had been deactivated for "breaking community guidelines." Weird.

So, I caved and gave a copy of my passport to FB through an appeals process.

As of now (within only a few hours), I have been told that my account is now permanently deleted. There's no email to talk to, and it states that there's no further way to appeal this. I'm a little devastated because my account was the only way to talk to my family in my home country, and it had pictures of people and a pet that are now deceased - pictures I do not have on my phone any longer.

I'm not really sure what to do, and I'm more than a little confused. I'm the kind of person to walk an extra block just to walk in a pedestrian crossing, and I'll apologize to people who run into me. I know I haven't broken any guidelines, and now FB has copies of my marriage license and my passport while I have no account in return. What do I do here..? I don't understand.

Hola, disculpen Quería preguntar si pueden orientarme o darme algún consejo sobre un problema que estoy teniendo con mis cuentas de Facebook.

Perdí el acceso a dos cuentas: mi cuenta personal, que tenía mi nombre real y mis datos, y mi cuenta de trabajo, donde tengo información importante. Por fortuna, logré recuperar mi cuenta personal, pero no he podido recuperar la de trabajo (Cyra Vnts).

He intentado verificar mi identidad varias veces subiendo mi identificación oficial, pero Facebook siempre me responde: "No logramos confirmar tu identidad".

Quisiera saber si existe alguna manera de solicitar una revisión manual o apelar desde mi cuenta personal, quizá mediante algún chat de soporte u otro medio que me permita contactar con Facebook para recuperar mi cuenta de trabajo.

La verdad, ya no sé qué más intentar y me preocupa mucho perder definitivamente esa cuenta por toda la información importante que contiene. Agradecería su ayuda 😔🙏🏻

I wanted to isolate Facebook to just the browser and found they intentionally make that difficult.
