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.

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)
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 was devastated. Months ago, I’d poured my life savings of $415,800 into what seemed like a golden crypto investment opportunity. Promises of massive returns lured me in, but it was a scam. The platform vanished, along with my money. Desperate, I turned to online recovery experts. The first one charged $5,000 upfront, claiming blockchain magic, nothing. The second, posing as a hacker, took $3,200 and ghosted. A third firm drained another $4,500 with fake progress reports. I was out even more, spiraling into debt and despair. Rock bottom hit when a friend mentioned Alpha Spy Nest, a forensics recovery expert team specializing in crypto scams. Skeptical but with nothing to lose, I reached out. Unlike the fakes, their investigator listened patiently to my story, reviewing transaction logs and wallet addresses I provided. Using advanced blockchain forensics, they traced the funds through obfuscated wallets and mixer services. They explained how scammers laundered via DeFi protocols, but their tools, custom algorithms and network analysis pinpointed the trail to a shady exchange in Eastern Europe. Collaborating with international authorities, they froze suspect accounts and initiated legal recovery. Days of tense updates followed: subpoenas, digital evidence compilation, and negotiations. Then, the breakthrough, $395,200 wired back to my secure account. Alpha Spy Nest’s transparency and expertise restored not just my savings, but my faith. If you’re scammed, skip the fraudsters. Alpha Spy Nest is the real deal, they turned my nightmare into redemption. Contacts information below:

A few weeks ago, I received an email that claimed I had won a staggering $2 million Bitcoin giveaway sponsored by Binance. At first glance, the message appeared legitimate. It featured official logos, polished wording, and a link that redirected me to what seemed to be Binance’s real website. Everything looked perfect: the login page was professional, there was a security padlock indicating a secure connection, and even the URL was almost identical to the actual Binance site.Caught up in the excitement of what I thought was a lucky break, I entered my credentials without a second thought. When prompted, I also provided my recovery phrase to “verify eligibility.” It was a decision I would soon regret. Within minutes, I received a sinking feeling in my stomach as I realized that my entire cryptocurrency portfolio had been wiped out. It wasn’t just my Bitcoin (BTC) that was gone; the scammers had drained everything, including my Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).The realization hit me hard, and I felt utterly sick. I had always prided myself on being cautious and knowledgeable about online scams, but the fake site was so convincing that I had let my guard down. After hours of panicking and feeling helpless, I knew I had to take action. I began searching for help and stumbled upon PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY, a team that specializes in crypto scam investigations to recover my lost assets, I reached out to them, sharing my experience and the details of the scam. The team was incredibly supportive and knowledgeable, guiding me through the recovery process step by step. They explained how they could trace the transactions and work to recover my stolen funds. With their expertise, I felt a glimmer of hope.After two days of diligent work, I was ecstatic to learn that I had recovered 90% of my cryptocurrency. The relief was overwhelming, and I couldn’t believe that I had managed to reclaim what I thought was lost forever. I now understand that even the most convincing emails can be traps, and I will always double-check before taking any action in the future.
