How to Recover Your Banned, Blocked, or Hacked Facebook and Instagram Account

Facebook and Instagram are powerhouses when it comes to growing your business. You can build an audience, start conversations, generate leads, and drive sales effectively on these platforms. But when your Facebook or Instagram account is banned, blocked, or hacked, it can feel like your business has hit a brick wall.

I know this feeling all too well. Just a few months ago, my Facebook account got hacked. The hackers stole my ad accounts and spent thousands of dollars on fraudulent campaigns. It was a nightmare! I was angry, frustrated, and desperate to find a way to recover my Facebook account.

So, if you're in the same boat, this guide will walk you through the steps to potentially recover your Facebook or Instagram account. And if you’ve tried everything to no avail, stick around—I have an option that might finally help you get your account back.

Why Your Facebook or Instagram Account Might Be Blocked, Banned, or Hacked

Meta, which owns both Facebook and Instagram, isn’t exactly known for its stellar customer support. Recovering an account depends on why it's down in the first place. If you've broken their policies, getting your account back may be difficult. However, if you were hacked or banned without a clear reason (which happens quite often), there are steps you can take.

Steps to Recover a Blocked or Hacked Facebook Account

Reach Out to Facebook Support

• Try the Facebook Help Center, where you'll find answers to many common questions related to account recovery, security, and privacy.

• Check your Facebook Support Inbox for any messages from Facebook. You might be able to connect with their support team via an old chat or start a new conversation.

• If you use Facebook Ads Manager, click the question mark at the bottom left and look for "Support Chat." Start a conversation to discuss your blocked or hacked account.

• Use the "Report a Problem" feature on your account. Go to the small triangle in the top-right corner, select "Help & Support," then "Report a Problem."

• For users with a Facebook Professional Account, go to the "Professional" section in your settings on the mobile app and click on "Support."

Email Facebook
Although it's a long shot, you can try emailing Facebook. Include all relevant details about your account issue. While they may not respond, it's worth a try.

Steps to Recover a Blocked or Hacked Instagram Account

Report a Problem on Instagram

• Go to your profile, tap the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner, and navigate to "Settings & Privacy" > "Help" > "Report a Problem." You can choose from different issues or report something not working.

Check Support Requests
