Introduction
Here, you will know what to do if Facebook disables your account or you deactivate your account. If you are the one who disabled the Facebook account, then you can easily activate it by logging back in. If Facebook is responsible for disabling your account, then you’ll be required to submit an appeal. This way, you can get your account again abled, but depending upon the reasons your account was disabled, Facebook will proceed with the final decision of either granting or denying your request appeal.
If you deleted your account permanently more than thirty days ago, then recovering it back is not possible.
Method-1
When You Disable Your Facebook Account
- Go to the website- https://www.facebook.com. The website will then lead you to the Facebook home page.
If your account was deactivated or disabled temporarily, then you are free to recover as and whenever you are ready to.
You can easily reactivate by logging back in or using the Facebook account to log in from somewhere else.
Remember that, after choosing to permanently delete your Facebook account, you will have a limited time frame. After thirty days, your Facebook account will no longer be available for reactivation. The only option left then would be to create a new Facebook account.
Enter the email address or the phone number associated with the Facebook account.
Next, enter your password. Type the password for logging in, in the password text box to the right where you typed the associated email address or phone number.
If you can’t remember the password, then don’t worry. You can always use the option of Forgot Password and follow the on-screen instructions to rest it again.
Now click on the login option. After your password is accepted, you will be able to log into your Facebook account.
If it’s still in thirty day window period, you have time to cancel the Facebook account’s permanent deletion.
Method-2
When Facebook Disables the Account
- First, be sure that Facebook disabled your Facebook account. Go to the website- https://www.facebook.com, and log in with the username and password as it asks you to.
If a message pops up saying Account disabled, that means your Facebook has been blocked by Facebook, and hence you’ll have to send in an appeal. Facebook has every right to disable your Facebook account if you violate its terms and conditions by using fake names, impersonation, spamming, and harassment cases. To check terms and conditions, you can check out https://www.facebook.com/terms.
Go to the official investigation form of Facebook. If you think there’s an error with the issue, then send in a request for further investigation by filling the form.
Enter your credentials as asked and use the associated account details. The email address or the phone number you are submitting should still be useful as Facebook will use it to communicate with you accordingly.
Enter the name that you use on the Facebook account in the Your Full name field. It can or cannot be different from your legal name.
Upload an ID picture for verification purposes. The ID card could be your passport, driver’s license or learner’s permit, etc. To do so:
Take the front and back picture of your ID and transfer it to your computer. Use an android phone or iPhone for clicking the picture, attach it to the email to yourself, and download the attachment on the PC. Click choose files -> Select pictures to upload ->Click open.
- Add appeal details as it asks you. In the “Additional info” field near the bottom of the page, Enter extra information that Facebook should know about you in the Additional Info field near the page bottom. Things to include here are:
- Facebook name and legal names differences.
- The Facebook account was potentially hacked by someone.
- Visual evidence that someone else is using your account wrongly.
- If you have been harassed.
7. Click Send on the form’s bottom-right side. After your appeal is sent out, if Facebook decides to revoke the deactivation, you can access your account back.
