How to Fix Your Grey Facebook Account
How do you fix a 'Grey' Facebook account? That's the question that I was trying to solve for several days after discovering I was unable to share my Instagram Insights with a company I wanted to work with. I had no clue what a grey account was before I embarked on the rather painstaking journey of figuring out what was wrong. After spending days combing through my Facebook settings, I finally found out that once you have a grey account, you are totally doomed and need to start your facebook page over from scratch. Just kidding- there's a way to fix it. Here is what worked for me:
First step: Make sure your Instagram is a Business Page. Switch your account to a Personal Account, then back to a Business Account. If you get a red popup when changing back that says it looks like you have a Grey account, continue reading for how to get out of the grey Facebook account zone.
Important: It's not an Instagram issue or the company you are trying to work with. If you have a grey account, it's 100% your Facebook Page. A 'Grey Account' occurred if you turned a private page into a public page or merged duplicate pages anytime since opening the account (this apparently looks shady to Facebook).
Try this if you still have the login to the main account (not the Facebook Page, the regular account where you can add friends) . If you don't have access to the main private account, scroll to the second instruction list. This is a helpful excerpt by 'Timmy' in the Facebook Community Center, but didn't work for me.
"1. Log into your main (regular account)... and if you don't have one, create one.
2. In the core Facebook menu, choose "Manage Business" (at the time of this writing, it's found on the top Right of the page with a little down arrow icon... next to the also super small lock icon for security. The arrow icon is the farthest icon to the top right for easy reference.
3. On the menu, choose "Settings." The menu at the time of this writing is two tab style links: Home, Settings... and that's it. It's located at the top left below the login name.
4. On the menu on the left hand side, choose "Shared Logins."
5. The text that I saw when I clicked on shared logins is this: "If you use shared logins (also called gray accounts) to manage your Facebook Pages and ad accounts, add them to Business Manager. When you do this, you'll have permission to work on any of the assets with the same roles that the shared login has. If the shared login owns ad accounts and Pages, you can also transfer that ownership to your Business Manager. Business Manager is a more secure way to manage your Facebook Pages and ad accounts."
6. AND... we're done: simply click on "Add Shared Login" " (end of excerpt)
2. In the core Facebook menu, choose "Manage Business" (at the time of this writing, it's found on the top Right of the page with a little down arrow icon... next to the also super small lock icon for security. The arrow icon is the farthest icon to the top right for easy reference.
3. On the menu, choose "Settings." The menu at the time of this writing is two tab style links: Home, Settings... and that's it. It's located at the top left below the login name.

6. AND... we're done: simply click on "Add Shared Login" " (end of excerpt)
If you no longer have access to the main account, here's what you need to do.
1. Create new private Facebook account (account #2)
2. Add account #2 as an administrator for the grey Facebook page.
3. Delete account (#1) from administrator list, leaving only the new Account #2 as Administrator. (If you're concerned about losing access, keep Account #1 as an editor, but I don't know if that will still work)
4. Create Business Page for Account #2 (The account setup for a Business Page for Facebk was as annoying as the grey facebook page and didn't want to register a new account at first. It finally registered after I completely logged out of Facebook and reset my browser).
Once you have done the 4 steps, check to see if you can connect your insights. If not, make sure your Instagram is still connected.
Good luck turning your grey facebook page into a cheerful functioning one!

Words can’t just express how excited I am right now , KNIGHTHOODBOT@GMAIL.COM is indeed a lifesaver.. I nearly Lost all my Crypto to fake investment platform in 2020 , it all started when a colleague of mine introduced me to the platform that she has been earning from during the pandemic and I thought I should give it a try also since she has been earning from their for quite sometime now but that was one of my biggest mistake , I ended up investing a total of 262k in USDT and waited for my profit which appeared on my portfolio on the website but cannot withdraw , that was frustrating and left me with no option but to hire a hacker after 2 months of waiting for the feds to help but nothing came out of their investigation , I don’t really know what I could have done if I hadn’t came across KNIGHTHOODBOT At GMAIL DOT COM . I can assure you that he is indeed the best recovery hacker out there .
I have tried working with several credit hackers online to see if I could get my credit fixed but at the end of it all they’d come up with excuses and ask for money which I paid to some of them but yet they can’t get the job done unlike CLASSICREPAIR4U@GMAIL.COM whom just got my credit fixed within 2 weeks after reaching him of recent , I wish I had known him all these while but I guess no time is late , at least I got what I asked for at last, meanwhile the previous hackers told me that it can’t be fixed and that made me nearly file for bankruptcy before my saviour “CLASSICREPAIR” came through for me … you know what’s best for you ? Working with classic repair .
The best way to avoid a psychological breakdown after experiencing or having to deal with infidelity is to make sure you are not just assuming your partner is cheating, don’t say they are cheating until you have gathered proof of their action. Confrontation without evidence is just unacceptable. I contacted Vlad with the help of a friend who referred me. I was in the eye of the storm with my now Ex wife, I saw all her mails, whatsapp messages, kik and even pictures she exchanged with her lover, but it was easier at the end really, having proof goes aa long. Here is his email (Constantine.gig @ gmail. Com) Send him a message and stay grateful forever for this privilege
