Common Reasons Why Facebook Accounts Get Disabled​

1. Multiple Accounts on Same IP/Device
   Creating too many accounts from the same IP or phone triggers flags. This is especially true if you skip warm-up steps.
2. Linked Identities Across Accounts
   Facebook matches accounts by phone numbers, email patterns, cookies, device IDs, and behavior. If your accounts share too much, they go down together.
3. Fake Info or Suspicious Profile Setup
   Using brand names or product images as your profile photo, random birthdays, or obviously fake names will likely lead to an ID check or ban.
4. IP & Device Switching
   Jumping between proxies, datacenter IPs, and devices without behavioral consistency causes trust score drops.
5. Massive Info Changes
   Editing your name, birthday, email, and phone all at once = trigger.
6. Inactive or Poorly Warmed Accounts
   Fresh accounts that sit idle or have no interaction history often get purged during routine sweeps.
7. Aggressive Actions
   Adding 50+ friends in a day, spamming messages, or joining too many groups = automation behavior = banned.
8. Posting Restricted Content
   Any kind of flagged content (e.g. crypto, fake giveaways, adult links, IP violations) can lead to instant bans.
9. User Reports
   Multiple reports from users will trigger manual or automated reviews.
10. False Positives by FB AI
    Yes, their system screws up sometimes. If your account is clean, you can appeal.

️ Recovery Methods That Still Work​

If your personal account is disabled, here’s what you can try:

• Fill in real profile info (name, birthday) on the login recovery screen
• SMS Verification — If you added a phone number, request a code
• Upload an ID — Government ID like passport or national ID card can work
• Friend Verification — Identify people from your contact list
• Appeal via Email or Help Center — Attach ID, explain briefly why your account is legit

Note: If you used obviously fake details, your chances are slim. But for semi-legit/aged/clean accounts, appeals still work in ~30-50% of cases.

Prevention Tips: How to Build Safer Accounts​

If you're farming or scaling accounts, here’s what we recommend:

• Use Realistic Data: Slightly aged names, believable DOBs, region-specific settings
• Set Up 2FA: Adds trust and prevents future bans
• Slow Warm-up Process:
  • Day 1–2: Login, browse, like content
  • Day 3–5: Add a few friends, post a photo
  • Day 5–10: Join groups, comment, increase actions
• Avoid Bulk Operations: Don't mass-friend or send DMs in one go
• Stay Compliant: No suspicious URLs, shady affiliate links, or fake promotions
• Keep Activity Human-Like: Random time patterns, browser fingerprinting, interaction balance

Final Words​
