Two of my facebook accounts got suspended and also my instagram account, because of alleged fraud and deception. As someone who has a business and is also a licensed professional, I always make sure to follow community guidelines and also not violate anything on facebook or instagram. So when my accounts got suspended without any prior notice I was very disappointed because my accounts have been with me for more than 15 years. I have tried to make an appeal but they disabled my backup account and for my main account they are asking me to make an appeal but upon clicking the appeal button on my email it only leads me to the log in area on facebook no option to appeal, I also went to the help center even replied the the email that was asking me to make an appeal and I haven't heard anything from Meta.How am I supposed to explain myself when you guys don't even give me an option and doesn't reply on my emails and feedbacks. What is the purpose of your help center when you don't even care to help people who uses your app? I did some research and found out that it's not just me who experienced this, some says it's because of Meta Al. Now why would you let Al handle the scanning when they are not capable of identifying what is legal or illegal? This is really frustrating and Meta doesn't even care or is doing something about this.A lot of us are very sentimental people and we also have a LOT of VERY important stuff on our accounts.PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATELY!
my messages won’t send
kkazuhaa_
okay so ever since i updated to ios26, messenger has been really buggy. i couldnt send messages to my friends and other groupchats right away, it would always say ‘sending’. the thing is, it’s not my internet connection being a problem because i can send messages on other apps and socmed platforms easily. it has been a problem for almost two days and i cant seem to fix it. i searched on ways to fix it but it always brings me to the same solutions (which dont work), i just updated messenger however it is still the same problem, i contacted the meta support team about the problem but im pretty sure it wont be of much help, i deleted and reinstalled the app multiple times but my messages sent prior to the deletion has been deleted as well! i tried logging in and out but it just made me lock out of messenger due to many attempts. however, one thing i do that ‘fixes’ the whole sending thing is when i remove messenger from the app switcher thing. it works, my messages send fine. but the thing is, i have to do that EVERY TIME i send a message to people and that alone is tiring. please help. i dont want to delete and reinstall the app because it would delete my messages prior to the deletion. i dont know how to fix this issue anymore and i had to resort to removing messenger from the app switcher every time. i need help, i did everything i could but it just wont work.
Stuck at Sending in a groupchat
ZzzViper
Okay, so ever since I updated to iOS 26, Messenger has been incredibly buggy. I couldn’t send messages to my friends and other group chats immediately; it would always say “sending.” The thing is, it’s not my internet connection being the problem because I can send messages on other apps and social media platforms easily. This issue has been going on for almost two days, and I can’t seem to fix it. I’ve searched for solutions online, but they always lead me to the same ineffective solutions. I just updated Messenger, but the problem persists. I’ve contacted Meta Support about the issue, but I’m pretty sure they won’t be of much help. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app multiple times, but my messages sent before the deletion have been deleted as well! I’ve tried logging in and out, but it just locks me out of Messenger due to too many attempts. However, one thing that “fixes” the entire sending issue is when I remove Messenger from the app switcher. It works, and my messages send fine. But the problem is, I have to do that every time I send a message to people, and that alone is tiring. Please help. I don’t want to delete and reinstall the app because it would delete my messages before the deletion. I’m at a loss and have resorted to removing Messenger from the app switcher every time. I need help; I’ve done everything I could, but it just won’t work.
