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!
XOXO

I’ve been rugged, scammed, and SIM-swapped—nothing stung more than losing 6 figures. Bitreclaim recovered a portion using advanced tracing tools, but I had to provide all the wallet data upfront. If you’re a victim, start the process at bitreclaim.com with every scrap of evidence.

Bitcoin trading scam on dating sites Review // Professional Wizard Recovery
My name is Kevin Greenberg from Canada! Life hasn’t been easy but I’ve done everything I can to raise my two boys right after losing my Wife. Being a single father is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do but I’ve taken it one day at a time determined to give them a good life. After years of focusing only on them I finally felt ready to put myself out there again and try dating. I joined a dating app and quickly connected with a woman who seemed thoughtful, sincere and financially intelligent. She told me she was involved in Bitcoin trading and had done well for herself. More than that she said she wanted to help me build a better future for my kids. I’ll admit I was touched. She said all the right things. Over the next few weeks we talked constantly. She never pushed, just encouraged me and gave small pieces of financial advice. Eventually she told me about a private trading pool his team used. It was supposedly low risk with high return. She even showed me screenshots of her growing profits. I wanted to believe her. I wanted to believe in something again. So I did it. I transferred 2 Bitcoin to the wallet address she gave me. The next morning she disappeared. Her profile was gone. All of our messages were deleted. My Bitcoin was gone too. I felt absolutely crushed. For days I couldn’t sleep. I blamed myself for falling for it. I didn’t even want to tell anyone what had happened until a co-worker noticed I wasn’t myself. When I finally told him he said one name: Professional Crypto Recovery. I contacted Professional Crypto Recovery without much hope but they surprised me. From the first call they treated me with respect and urgency. Their investigators trace the scammer’s wallet and they freeze assets. Two weeks later they recovered 1.3 BTC. No it wasn’t everything. But it was enough to restore my faith. More importantly, someone fought for me. I wasn’t just another online victim, I was a father trying to do the right thing. I didn’t find love. But I found justice and a way forward for my boys. I’ll always be grateful.

My journey into cryptocurrency began with optimism but ended in a nightmare. Like many others, I was lured by the promise of high returns from an elite investment platform.The website looked professional, complete with glossy dashboards and testimonials from satisfied clients.Trusting their claims,I invested $50,000 worth of Tether USDT, only to watch the platform vanish overnight along with my life savings.The platform, which mimicked legitimate exchanges like Crypto.com, initially allowed small withdrawals to build trust. But when I tried to access the bulk of my funds, excuses piled up: tax fees,verification delays, and finally, silence. Panicked, I realized I’d fallen victim to a pig-butchering scam, a scheme where fraudsters groom victims before stealing their crypto . Desperate, I scoured forums and found Washington Recovery Pro, a firm praised for tracking stolen crypto. Their testimonials stood out—like Leonadopeterson69, who recovered $250,000 in Bitcoin after a similar scam . Skeptical but hopeful, I contacted them.From the very first interaction, their professionalism stood out. They took time to understand my case, carefully analyzed the wallet trails, and began tracing the movement of my lost Tether coins. Their expertise in blockchain forensics and cyber investigation was beyond impressive.After weeks of relentless effort, they recovered 90% of my USDT. The remaining 10% was lost to mixer services, but their success far exceeded my expectations.Thanks to Washington Recovery Pro for saving me from financial ruin… Contact Handle Via
