On 20th March 2018, I received this bulletin from Facebook:

"Please upload a photo of yourself that clearly shows your confront. We'll check it and then permanently delete it from our servers". I could non keep on to Facebook until I uploaded my photo. It was the same whether viewing Facebook on my desktop on via the Facebook app on my mobile or iPad. Aye, I tried all! Fearing that it may exist a scam of some sort, I even deleted the Facebook app from my phone and installed information technology once again but when I clicked on Facebook, I received the same message once again. So, I had no selection simply to upload my photograph.

After, I uploaded my photo, I received the following bulletin:

"You lot tin can't use Facebook at the moment. We are reviewing the photograph that yous sent united states on 20 March 2018. We're always looking out for your security, so until then you won't exist able to utilize Facebook."

Oh dear. I wouldn't take minded very much if just my personal profile was affected as I don't actually post on it very much. However, I have several Facebook pages and I run four Facebook groups as admin.

I learned quite a few lessons from this simply before I move on to the lessons or tips, I will share how long it took for me to get back my genuine Facebook account. I read that information technology was supposed to take 72 hours but searching online, I plant various answers from ii days, 6 days to one calendar month even. Some fifty-fifty reported this issue coming back repeatedly. I hope this does not happen to me. I was shutoff from my Facebook business relationship on 20th March 2018. I got back my business relationship on 24 March 2018.

Tips:

one. I read some comments online near their precious photos beingness gone when they are locked out of Facebook. That's true because when you are locked out, you lot cannot access anything. You simply disappear without a trace. All your photos, posts and even your comments in groups disappears. Poof! Just similar that. So, don't put all your precious memories on Facebook. It may be gone just similar that if in that location are any issues with your business relationship. Always accept a fill-in.

ii. The second tip is for persons who run a business page. It is a adept idea to appoint a trusted person as a fill-in admin. When you are locked out of your personal profile, yous cannot get into Facebook. This means that yous also cannot get to your Facebook Page. Previously I had been locked out of Facebook before when they requested for my photograph id (that's some other story), so I had appointed another admin for my Page and therefore I could however access my Folio via my friend's account.

3. The third tip is for persons who run a Facebook grouping and a Facebook page. When you lose your Facebook account, you also lose your Facebook group since you cannot become into Facebook at all. Now, if you had previously linked your Facebook page to your group, your Facebook folio would be an extra admin for your Facebook group and if you had done Tip two of appointing someone else every bit your Page admin, you would still be able to admin your Facebook grouping as usual by using your friend'south Facebook account temporarily. This is important because if you are the sole admin of a grouping and you lot lose your Facebook and access to your group, it volition mean that your grouping has no admin now and anyone can take over as admin. You don't want that to happen to a grouping you had spent a lot of time building up.

With all of the higher up tips in place, I was not too frazzled when I lost my personal Facebook profile. I was still able to run my page and group as usual. The only set up back was I had an upcoming event. I had posted details of that event in my FB group using my personal profile. When I lost my profile, my posts disappeared. I didn't realize that at first because, as a Facebook page admin of my group, I could see my posts, simply my members could not! I didn't know till they sent me screenshots of my missing post.

So, I quickly sent them electronic mail notifications instead of private messages and tagging them on FB as I commonly exercise. While at it, I learned how to send emails to all the contacts on my Google Forms with one click. I also learned how to embed Google map in the email. So losing my Facebook contour for a while turned out to be a blessing in disguise every bit I learned some new skills.

I promise this mail service helps some of you who may be searching for information on this topic. I was searching likewise and all I could find were negative posts that made it seem so much worse than it really turned out to be.

One other thing, only before I got my business relationship back, I got impatient and sent out an email to security@facebookmail.com I'm not certain if that helped to go back my account or it was just a thing of time.
