Many people think that once their Facebook account is disabled, it’s gone forever, permanently. But that’s not true! It is possible to fix and recover your banned social media account – but only if you know how.
In this blog post, we will show you how to appeal to retrieve and recover your disabled Facebook personal account. We will also give you some tips on what to do if your business page is the one that’s been disabled and get it back as well.
Read on and find out everything you need to know about retrieving and getting your Facebook account back up and running online when it gets a temporary or permanent sanction.
How to Appeal & Recover a Disabled Facebook Personal Account
If your personal Facebook (FB) account has been disabled, it’s not always permanent but only temporary and it may be possible to recover it by following these steps:
- First, try logging into your account from a different browser or device. If you’re able to access your account, then it’s likely that there was a temporary issue with your original browser or device.
- If you’re still unable to log into your account, visit the Facebook Help Center and click on the “I can’t log into my account” link. From there, you’ll be able to follow the instructions for resetting your password or contacting Facebook support for further assistance.
- If you believe that your account was disabled by mistake, you can appeal the decision by filling out this form. Make sure to include as much information as possible about why you believe your account should be restored.
- Finally, if you’re still having trouble accessing your account or recovering it, consider creating a new Facebook account.
What to Do if You Can’t Recover or Retrieve Your Account
If you’ve tried all of the above and still can’t recover your account, then you may need to reach out to Facebook directly for assistance.
You can do this by filling out their online form. Be sure to include as much information as possible, such as your full name, email address, and username. Once you submit the form, Facebook will review your request and get back to you as soon as possible.
How to Prevent Your Facebook Account from Becoming Disabled & Banned
It’s no secret that Facebook has been cracking down on fake accounts as of late. In fact, they’ve even been disabling accounts that they deem to be “fake” or “impersonating” someone else. While this is all well and good, it can be a pain if your account gets caught in the crossfire.
Here are some tips to prevent your Facebook account from becoming disabled temporarily or permanently banned:
- Use Your Real Name – This seems like a no-brainer, but using your real name (or at least a variation of it) is one of the best ways to avoid getting your account disabled. Facebook is much less likely to disable an account that appears to be using a real name.
- Don’t Use a Fake Profile Picture – Another easy way to avoid having your account disabled is by not using a fake profile picture. If you’re going to use a picture of yourself, make sure it’s actually you in the photo. Facebook is pretty good at spotting fake photos, so it’s best to just avoid them altogether.
- Be Careful What You Post – This one goes without saying, but be careful what you post on Facebook. Avoid posting anything that could be considered offensive or abusive, as this could get your account flagged for review by Facebook’s team. Once your account is flagged, it’s only a matter of time before it gets disabled.
- Follow the Terms of Service – Finally, make sure you’re following Facebook terms and play nice on the platform.
Final Thoughts
There are a few things you can do to try and fix a disabled Facebook account. However, it’s important to remember that Facebook has the final decision on whether or not your account will be reactivated.
If you’ve followed all of the steps outlined in this article and your account is still disabled, the best thing you can do is wait and try again later. In the meantime, you can use other social media platforms to stay connected with friends and family.
