You have three options to fix your problem: Report your account, Reset your account, and Contact Facebook. Try submitting your appeal to Facebook if none of these methods work. It may take some time, but it&#8217;s well worth the wait. The next option is contacting Facebook directly to let them know that your account has been temporarily blocked. You can also try clearing your browser&#8217;s cache to see if that helps.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Resetting_your_Facebook_account\"><\/span>Resetting your Facebook account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have ever found that you have been temporarily blocked from logging into Facebook, then you are not alone. Many people have had to deal with this annoying problem. You can fix this problem by following the steps detailed below. First, try not to access your account for 96 hours and then clean your cache memory and browser history. Second, switch to another browser. If all else fails, try contacting Facebook support for assistance. If your account is still locked, it is likely that you&#8217;ve been blocked for some reason due to suspicious activity or violation of their terms of service.<\/p>\n<p>If you have been temporarily blocked from using your Facebook account, it&#8217;s likely that you have a security question set that proves your identity to the site. To reset your Facebook account, you must answer this question correctly and then enter the security code that you received from a trusted friend. After confirming the security code, wait 24 hours and then try to log into Facebook again. It may take up to a week for your account to be restored.<\/p>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t login for 96 hours, you can try another device. This method works well for some people. Alternatively, you can reset your password and try to log into Facebook again. The steps to reset your Facebook password are straightforward and can be easily followed by a Facebook support representative. However, if this doesn&#8217;t work, you can try contacting Facebook support via a trusted friend&#8217;s phone number.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contacting_Facebook\"><\/span>Contacting Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes when you send a friend request or a message, you will see a &#8220;temporarily blocked&#8221; message. There are several reasons for this block, and Facebook may only temporarily block you from using that feature for a few hours or as long as 21 days. If you have reached your daily limit, you should try to send a different message. If you still receive the error message, you should contact Facebook to request the feature&#8217;s return.<\/p>\n<p>If you are temporarily blocked by Facebook, you can contact the company through their website by filling out the form. You will need to provide the email address you used to create the account, as well as another email address where you can be reached. Other required fields are your name, year of birth, and contact information. You can also include additional information, such as the date the account was disabled, warnings you received before it was disabled, and reasons why the account should be restored.<\/p>\n<p>If you have tried to log in for 96 hours and still receive the message, the problem may be with your browser or with your password. You can try cleaning your browser history and cache memory, or even using another browser to visit Facebook. If your account is still disabled, you may have violated Facebook&#8217;s terms and conditions. In this case, contact Facebook to fix temporarily blocked Facebook. Just make sure to be polite and respectful.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reporting_a_blocked_account\"><\/span>Reporting a blocked account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may have noticed that someone has blocked you on Facebook. Often, it&#8217;s a frustrating experience, and it may even lead you to report that person. However, the steps below can violate Facebook&#8217;s Terms of Service and result in your main account being banned. Moreover, Facebook may blacklist your identifiable information, which may limit your ability to post on the site for at least 30 days. If you accidentally blocked someone, you can try to regain their trust by creating a new account and messaging them. You should be courteous, but don&#8217;t push them.<\/p>\n<p>You can use the search bar to search for the blocked account. If you cannot find the blocked account, you can always look for their profile pictures. There are other ways to get the information you need, including asking them to deactivate their account. If you cannot contact the person, you can also search for their blocked account to see their other information. You can also delete their entire account if you no longer want to communicate with them.<\/p>\n<p>You can also block the account of someone who is abusive. This may prevent you from receiving unwanted spam messages. However, you need to check your privacy settings first. Facebook has taken measures to keep users safe, so make sure you check them carefully before blocking anyone else. In the event that you find that the blocked account is causing you problems, you can report it by clicking on the &#8220;Something is Wrong&#8221; option. After reporting the account, Facebook may take additional steps to rectify the problem.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zbG5KhTfT1U\" height=\"196\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Should I Do If My Facebook Account Is Temporarily Blocked?
