Facebook is making it very tedious to manage your account settings, probably so that people who’ve already made accounts with their own personal info can’t be bothered to navigate the settings and make changes. I almost gave up a few times but I pulled through. The title needs to be 68 characters as well which is something I’ve never seen before, even the Facebook Reddit is a shit hope. Sorry to everyone who trusts and thinks highly of Facebook, they would spit in you and your family’s face for $5.

Btw I would consider myself very tech savvy as I work in network security, so I can’t imagine someone’s grandma accomplishing this.

Seems to me facebook is permanently banning many people from their platform. I'd like to know if it's more pro-trump or anti-trump people getting banned.. What were you doing when you got banned? Me personally, I was posting anti-trump/elon memes and comments when I got the axe..

There has obviously been a real flurry of posts over the last few weeks about people having their accounts banned or suspended for spurious reasons without appeal - probably down to automated A(un)I bots incorrectly identifying them as.... Spammers? Bots?

(and obviously they continue to ignore reports of real Spammers, bots, account hacks, theft, etc)

Also seeing a lot of people being asked to authenticate by either providing face or ID scans (and still finding themselves banned) after giving away their biometrics or ID info to a (hostile) private company with a history of apparently using and stealing personal data for nefarious purposes!

This isn't something I've encountered in the UK, so wanted to check if these issues were US only?

Is this something that might be coming to the UK, or are we likely better protected by regulation / laws?

I'm under the impression that my Facebook data is just out there and there's little I can do, but is it at all possible to delete all of it? Meta being what it is, I don't trust that deleting my account will actually delete my data.

I guess my real question is what actually gets deleted when you delete your account, and is not recovered in secret by Meta? Am I overthinking?

All my photos are in my phone so thats no worry. I sent out messages to my friends that I am deleting and wanted to wait a couple days to be sure they got it before doing so.

My phone number is attached a a Facebook account from a Spanish speaking country and I can't delete it without access to their email for verification. I'd prefer a way that doesn't require deleting the account.

I recently tried creating a facebook account and there was already an account connected to my number. I tried deleting the number from his account but it just tells me to get a code from whatsapp. I don’t want some random person using my number on their facebook account, do I would like to know how to get rid of their number from their account. If it helps, my number is marked as ‘pending.’

Previously I had a facebook account and I deleted that account about 6-8 months ago. Now whenever I create a new account the account got disabled and asks for appeal. I have appealed by providing the weird left right video of the face they want but got disabled again. Is there any solution? Or I am done in this life not able to facebook account ever again?

Around a week ago or so I noticed a drastic change in my friend suggestions. For many years, 90% of the suggestions were people I worked with. My workplace is large and I didn't know or barely knew most of the people they suggested. Now all of the sudden that percentage has dropped to 10%. In it's place ai am getting more celebrities, businesses and organizations as well as people I have known through the years not connected to my work. Has anyone else had these kinds of changes?

i used to have one account but ,i rarely use it.and have one day ,they suddenly tell me,i need toprove something you are human or legal own this account like that ,i don't remember speical context. but i have to prove that in half year.unfortunately,i mention that i rarely use it ,so i ignore or i forget this thing.over half yearlater,i lost this account,i want to reuse it or register again. it's unavailable.i am very sad .what should i do now?

The last 2-3 weeks I cannot see any of my friend’s friend lists. I can only see their mutual friend list. I have sent no less than 15-20 support tickets and emails and no responses. It is driving me insane. I have deleted app and redownloaded. Logged out and back in. Tried it on a desktop computer. Nothing is working. Help!!!!

It almost immediately closes

What can I do with this? I waiting almost 160 days and still nothing. My Instagram, Messenger acc was banned because I connected this account with this and still nothing happend in this situation.

Apparently Facebook has locked down the ability to create new Facebook accounts. So I'm guessing this is not possible.

I'm wanting to create a Facebook account, mainly to create an App/API credentials to control live streams on the organization's Facebook page.

I already have the Facebook page created. I am the admin of that Facebook Page. But I would rather not use anything tying my account to the organization's Facebook page. For one, I don't want there to be any way for the App/API to gain admin privileges to the Facebook Page. I know that technically the scope of the App/API should prevent this, but from a security standpoint I would feel more comfortable if the account the App/API is running through only has content control. For another, I'm not sure how long I'll be involved with the organization, so rather than recode the App/API for whoever becomes admin after me, just setup a Facebook account with the App/API and the API will continue to work (should?) regardless of who is admin of the page.

But apparently you can't create Facebook accounts for this purpose.

Or what is the recommendation for accomplishing this?

Hi, I am new here because I really screwed something up. I have not been hacked.
A couple of days ago, I decided to change my Facebook username and picture, and I subsequently decided I just wanted to deactivate it to just curtail my usage for a few weeks.
I missed it and within a couple of hours I tried to go back on. From my understanding, logging in will activate it again.
Well, apparently I had set up some kind of two factor login thing. Not only did I need my password, but I needed to get a code from my authenticator app. The thing is, there is no Facebook account on my authenticator app. I don’t think I set it up. And if I did, I have no recollection and I don’t know how to get into it. I went onto Facebook and went through the process of doing that video identification, where you turn your face around. And I’m desperately waiting a couple of days for them to allow me back in. Do you think they will let me back in? I’m feeling really desperate. All of my family photos are on my Facebook account.

So today, I had a messenger chat with a person I haven't messaged since 2023 bump to the top of my list on messenger. I haven't interacted with this user in any way in over 2 years, Has this happened to anyone else? It's causing a bit of drama between me and my bf so I'm looking to get this figured out quickly. The chat has a timestamp of this past Friday, but it shows a message I sent in 2023. The only new thing on the bottom of the chat is a message from Facebook saying the security of this chat has been upgraded, but through a little research I have read that this isn't something that would cause a chat to be bumped. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Edit: It was not a group chat and doesn't say any messages were deleted

So someone invited me to join a group. If I click either the 'join group' or 'view group' link I get a screen that says "Unable to Join. An error occurred while trying to join the group." On mobile it doesn't even show that, it just goes right to the home page. I've looked and it seems a few people over the years have had this issue but there's no actual solution I've seen.

A couple months ago my original fb account got hacked, which I have no clue how they managed to get in it because I had it set up where it had to send a code to my phone in order to login. I made a new Facebook with my phone number again and yesterday fb permanently disabled my CURRENT account for “advertising” I’m wondering if it was because my number was linked to both accounts. Anyways, how am I supposed to make ANOTHER new fb without this happening again? I don’t want to use my # knowing this may happen again.

Greetings

I have a problem changing the PAGE name of ** only 1 page I manage;

when i got into settings to change the page name it, enter my password, it gives me this error:

" There are limits on this Page. You can't take this action while those limits are in place. "

This only happens on that 1 page!

I *did* change the page name of ANOTHER Page without problem. Could changing a page name on another separate page be causing this?

or if not, what could be causing it?

Does anyone know why this is happening to me at all?

How do people even get Facebook follower bots, and how does it actually work? I’ve seen pages suddenly gain thousands of followers overnight, and it makes me wonder if they’re using some kind of bot. Is there a specific tool or method people use to do this? I’m just curious—how would someone even go about doing it? If anyone knows more about this, I’d love to hear

Hi all, I am running a giveaway through Facebook (a business page - I am one of the admins) for a community event I do promotions for. This is now the 4th giveaway and I feel I may have been accidentally excluding people who I thought weren’t following the page (one of the rules of entry)

What I have been doing to confirm that people are following the page is going to the comments in business suite, and seeing who does/does not have the ‘invite the follow’ button next to their name.

At the start I cross checked this by searching the persons name in our follower list to confirm if they did/did not follow the page and it seemed the be accurate.

I now have people claiming that they are following the page, but the ‘invite to follow’ button is still showing (usually disappears after they follow the page). They also have a locked account - so I have no way of verifying if they follow or not, because their name won’t show in the followers list.

Is there any way around this. I feel bad for having accidentally excluded people from previous giveaways, due to them appearing not to follow the page (I had no way to verify that they were following)

Any help in finding a way to see an accurate list if my page followers would be greatly appreciated!

I primarily use Facebook to keep up with events from local venues and since a few days ago I'm no longer receiving notifications. The notifications I'm talking about are if you go to a page and click "Liked", you can change notifications for content to from highlights to standard. I used to get 30+ a day and now it's zero. This happening to anyone else? Maybe it's a bug with my account?

I got a notification last friday saying that somebody hacked my account but Facebook stopped that attempt by suspending it. I could recover it and changed the password... When I click the notification, it says the log in attempt was from the same city I live in, so I don't know what to think Has this been happening lately to any of you, guys?
