  • Starting civilized discussions about the platform.

  • Rules

    1. Posts must relate to Facebook. Do not make posts unrelated to this topic. This includes screenshots of Facebook posts without a request for tech support. No rants. You can use all the rest of Reddit to post rants about how bad Facebook is.

    2. Do not post anything that contains personal information. We do not allow posts or comments to contain any personal information, even if it’s your own. This includes names. IF YOU POST IT AND SOMEONE HERE CAN FIND IT YOU WILL BE BANNED. The only exception to this rule is if the information is related to a public figure.

    3. No self-promotion, spam, misinformation or clickbait. We do not allow spam, misinformation or clickbait.

    This is also not the place to advertise your Facebook page, website, GoFundMe or anything else. We have this rule in place to help protect the community from spam and other malicious content.

    Including a link to a Facebook profile, page, group or post in a tech support context also violates this rule.

  • Provide help publicly only. Any help must be provided publicly. Do not offer to message someone to help them. This rule exists to help prevent scams.

  • No joke or meme posts. There are other communities with millions of subscribers dedicated to memes and humor. There is no need for it to be here. If you want memes and humor on Reddit, check out r/funny or r/memes.

  • No NSFW content. This is a safe for work community. If you have a tech support problem that is related to NSFW (such as "why am I seeing NSFW ads on my feed"), you can describe the issue in text. Do not post a screenshot of the content. STOP POSTING PORN! PERMA BAN

  • No hate speech, trolling or harassment. Do not insult others, or post hateful content. This is a tech support and discussion community.

  • Follow reddiquette and the reddit Terms of Service. These rules must be followed in all subreddits, and this one is no exception.

  • Adhere to post title guidelines. Your post title should not look like it was written by a twelve-year old. We have a character limit for a reason, and attempting to bypass this will result in a perma ban. THERE IS NO NEED TO YELL, and your title should not be any form of clickbait whatsoever.

  • Posting anything against the rules will get you a minimum of a three day ban.

    Log into new device without phone number or email because I don't have access to either

    So this is probably a long shot but at work the other night I was in a buddy of mines car during my break when my manager called for me to come back inside so I jumped out of his car leaving my phone in it. I don't have the guys number and the only way we communicated was through Facebook messenger, I've been trying to use my wife's phone to log into my account so I can get in touch with him but since I've never been logged into her phone it needs to send a code to a phone number that has long been disabled and i don't have an email address connected to my Facebook account. Is there any way at all I'll be able to access my account through her phone without having to use a verification code? I'm desperate.

    Hacked and currently trying to extort me I have no idea what to do I received a log in to my Facebook and instagram and now I have someone trying to what I believe is extort me.

    I am ignoring the messages and I tried to kick him and lock him out but he knows when I do something. I have tried police but I haven’t paid and he hasn’t posted nudes or whatever yet so they can’t do anything and going to Facebook thru the app does nothing and the number doesn’t work. I sent an email from a separate account but I doubt that will work please help idk what to do. And I am so scared.

    What is the setting on Facebook to meaningfully turn off all video reels?

    Hi All, I'm having the most difficult time with my Facebook use. I spend literally hours on reels, and I don't have the will/discipline to stop.

    I want to get rid of reels completely.

    How do I do this?

    I'm starting to hate what Facebook is doing to my life.

    Having trouble logging into my facebook account because I lost the 2fa devices and phone number

    Hey, I was wondering if anybody in this subreddit has any idea on how to get back into my account? I don't have the phone number thats on the 2fa, I don't have either of the devices its telling me to check on the 2fa screen, and I cant upload an image of my ID because I literally just don't have one. Any way that I can fix this? Already tried to contact facebook but little to my suprise I don't think they know what the hell they're doing at this point. Any ideas?

    I need help: I’m done with a friend but keep pulling up their profile out of spite. Is there a setting to block myself doing that, without blocking them?

    I know, it’s stupid, but apparently I can’t seem to help myself. I can’t block them because it would upset the balance of the mutual friend group.

    new messenger memories? will deleted or deactivated accounts prevent from popping up for others?

    I have been going through a lot mentally and I’ve had my facebook for well over 15 years at this point, I’ve debating deleting the whole thing. It’s deactivated now but I saw on my husband’s that it popped up with a photo memory for him and his friend.

    I do not want to be showing up in peoples memories especially on messenger lol I know the messages are always available in text form but will keeping my account deactivated or even deleting it prevent my old photos from showing up on their memories? I don’t want these to be conversation starters with exes etc If I block them will I show up? advice?

    I wish I could delete my facebook and have all my messages disappear like it has for some of my friends but I think that’s because there were hacked lol

    Please help! I have no idea what to do at this point or how this even happened?

    I woke up last Tuesday and went to scroll on Facebook and it said I was suspended for child exploitation!? The last thing I posted was my pregnancy announcement. I promise you there is NOTHING about my account or anything that is accurate about the suspension. Obviously, I immediately submitted an appeal but it’s been since Tuesday and I’ve gotten no response or anything. Who else can I reach out to, to make sure to get my account back? This is YEARS of memories just thrown away and I have no idea what to do or how this even could happen. It took my instagram account with it as well because it says I don’t follow facebook’s rules. I know for a fact there’s nothing bad about my account:/ Please help I’m so lost here.

    FBAds in Active phase but shows 0 impressions/reach/clicks even after 4 days of it being active.

    Hello I have set up Facebook ads and created two creatives under one campaign and one ad set. I had initially set up daily budget of 3$ but did not see any impression or reach so I increased daily budget to 6$ but still don’t find any impression or reach or clicks. It’s been few days since the set up. My ads dint go to “learning”phase it straight away went to “active” phase. I had set up similar ad campain earlier with 3$ daily budget and it had shown clicks etc. Does anyone know how to fix the impression issue ! Thank you in advance 🙏

    Watching Live streams not working while using cellular service. It works with WiFi but not cellular service.

    So, for at least the last week while trying to watch live streams on Facebook they will not load. It’s a perpetual spinning cog unless I’m on WiFi and only then do they work. I’ve tried restarting the app, using airplane mode to turn on off service, restarting my phone and deleting the app and reinstalling it. Nothing has worked, I tested it on my girlfriend’s phone and she has the same problem. We both have T-Mobile but using Facebook to scroll or watch reels is not a problem. I got really frustrated yesterday and can’t find a solution. I’ve tried doing a google search and Reddit search but haven’t seen this exact topic recently. Does anyone have any solutions?

    My community group chats still won't show up, even after the date of my restriction is over

    For reference, I shared a screenshot of another group chat to one group chat and it got flagged by Meta for "Sexual Content" when it was a just a meme "Cigarettes after Shrek" 🤦

    I was supposed to have my group chat restrictions lifted by last November 3 or 4 but it still hasn't been lifted

    And I sent an appeal last October 31st, but still no updates whatsoever. It's really frustrating how these memes can be sent in group chats but when I send a SCREENSHOT (not just the meme itself, some other texts as well) I GET FLAGGED

    Is there anyway to fix this? I seriously need my community groupchats to work again since I buy and sell things in those groupchats

    My fandom page Banned from a public facebook group for No reason at all. Can access with my main account though.

    So essentially my page I run for one of my favorite fandoms was blocked from one of the largest groups for that fandom. (Around 40k followers). One of the ways which I was able to get likes on my fandom page I was trying to grow was by sharing with teh group. I know that this particular group allowed pages to join as I tested it by following it with a different fandom page (but not interacting)

    I did not break any of the group's stated rules. I can only assume it was that the group was posting about 'spam posts being removed'. The only thing I can think of was that I was just sharing my page posts with the group but not interacting. But the page posts were all stuff that was relevant to that fandom, etc. (not asking them to buy anything or anything like that)

    Secret crush sent without having dating profile? Would I even know this person?

    I’m not on Facebook dating but received this notification. Other posts I’ve seen say “friend of friend” or something like that, but this just says “someone”. Would I even know who this person is? I don’t understand the concept of this if I have to (make an account) and add them back in order to know who they are but we aren’t friends?

    My account was disabled permanently, but I did nothing, I just browsed. Why could this be and what can I do right now?

    Edit: I think I need a working account to contact Facebook support, and I don't have that, since they disabled me.
