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

THE MOST TRUSTWORTHY CRYPTOCURRENCY RECOVERY SPECIALIST AROUND/BYTEPHANTOM CYBER RECOVERY:
My name is Gwen, and I never imagined I’d be the victim of a crypto scam. I’ve always been cautious with my digital assets, but in early 2024, I fell into a sophisticated trap that cost me over $190,000 worth of cryptocurrency. It was one of the most devastating moments of my life. I felt helpless, ashamed, and frustrated until I found BytePhantom Cyber Recovery. It all started when I came across what appeared to be a legitimate investment opportunity on a well-known social media platform. The website looked professional, the team behind it had public LinkedIn profiles, and the returns promised were “modest but steady.” I did my research or so I thought and decided to transfer some of my crypto into their platform. Within weeks, the site vanished. No response to emails, no support, and my wallet was drained. I was in shock. I reported the incident, but law enforcement told me flat out that the chances of recovering crypto were extremely slim. That’s when I turned to the internet, desperately searching for a solution. After going through multiple forums and reviews, one name kept coming up: BytePhantom Cyber Recovery. At first, I was skeptical. I had already been burned once. But what stood out to me about BytePhantom was the number of detailed success stories from real people who had been in similar situations. I reached out to them, and from the very first conversation, I felt reassured. Their response was immediate, professional, and empathetic. The BytePhantom team assigned a recovery specialist to my case within 24 hours. They thoroughly analyzed my transaction history, wallet activity, and digital footprint. They explained every step of the process clearly, without making any false promises. What impressed me most was their transparency. I never felt like I was being strung along or given generic answers—they were honest, technical, and absolutely determined. Over the next few weeks, BytePhantom launched a deep investigation into the stolen funds. They utilized blockchain forensics, traced the movement of my crypto across wallets and mixing services, and even tracked down key details of the scammer’s operations. I was amazed at how much information they were able to uncover—things that had gone completely unnoticed by the police. Then, about five weeks into the process, I received the news I had been hoping and praying for: BytePhantom successfully intercepted and recovered a substantial portion of my stolen funds—over 85% of the total amount. When I saw the crypto hit my secure wallet, I honestly couldn’t believe it. It felt like I had been given a second chance. But BytePhantom didn’t stop there. They helped me enhance my wallet security, educated me on common fraud tactics, and provided tools to monitor suspicious activity going forward. Their team genuinely cared—not just about recovering my funds, but about ensuring I never fell into another trap again. Looking back, choosing BytePhantom was the turning point in what could have been a complete disaster. They combined cutting-edge cyber intelligence with unmatched dedication and professionalism. I owe my financial recovery—and peace of mind—to their incredible work. If you’ve lost crypto to a scam or cybercrime, don’t waste time with unverified recovery services. BytePhantom Cyber Recovery is the real deal. They brought my funds back when I thought they were gone forever. And for that, I will always be grateful.

My parents always dreamed of taking our family on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Japan. After years of saving and planning they finally decided it was time to make that dream a reality. My siblings and I were excited imagining the vibrant culture delicious food and stunning landscapes we would explore together. When we found an online travel agency offering a too-good-to-be-true deal on flights and hotels we jumped at the opportunity. The agent seemed professional even sending us fake confirmations that looked legitimate. We paid 104,500 in USDT believing we had secured everything for our dream vacation. However as the departure date approached the agency suddenly ghosted us. We received no tickets no refunds just silence. My parents were crushed because that money represented years of hard work and sacrifices. I felt an overwhelming sense of guilt for not being more cautious and for leading my family into this situation. We reported the scam to the police but they informed us that crypto scams were nearly impossible to trace leaving us feeling hopeless. One sleepless night while searching for solutions online I stumbled upon RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY.

For the first time in weeks I felt a glimmer of hope. The experts at RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY worked tirelessly employing advanced techniques to track the stolen USDT across multiple wallets and exchanges. They kept us updated daily explaining each step in simple terms that we could understand.

My dad who is usually stoic and reserved hugged me tightly and said We got a second chance. RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY didn’t just return our money they restored our faith in humanity and gave us back our joy. To anyone reading this if you’ve been scammed don’t lose hope.
