The team of Facebook will go through the post and profile of the person and review it.

If the reported person violated one or more than one community standard of Facebook, the team will take action against the person.

They will also delete the posts when they will take action against them.

In some cases, the report will also cause the permanent suspension of the account of that person.

How to Report a Facebook Account

To report a Facebook account, you need to visit the profile of the person that you want to report & tap on the three dots.

Now the next step is to tap on “Find support or report profile”, choose an issue, you and report that profile on FB.

There are multiple options available to choose from.

It has “Intellectual property”, “Hate speech”, “Harassment”, and so on.

Your task is to select the appropriate category in order to report that person.

For instance, if the person is posting hate speech you can select the “Hate speech” problem.

After reporting that person, if it is successful, the post of that person will be taken down and they may suspend their account as well.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to report a Facebook account.

Step 1. Open Facebook and tap on the search icon

To get started, first of all, you need to open the app of Facebook and you must be login.

The desktop version of Facebook can also be used for this purpose.

In this post, we are going to use the app instead of the desktop version.

Go to the Facebook app and search for the person that you are going to report.

Tap on the search icon available on the top bar to search the user.

Step 2. Search for the user that you want to report

You can skip this step if you are already on the profile of that person.

The search icon available on the app will allow you to search that person.

The search feature will enable you to search for people, posts and groups.

Now, you have to search for the name of the person that you are going to report.

For instance, if the name of the person is “ABC” search for “ABC”.

Now, scroll down the search results in order to find the person you want to report and tap on it.

Step 3. Tap on the three dots

Go to the profile of the person that you are finding to report.

You can reach the profile of that person by tapping on the picture.

To explore more options, you need to tap on three dots on the profile.

Step 4. Tap on “Find support or report profile”

When you tap on the three dots on the profile of that person, it will open the “Manage” page.

There are three options on the page that you can select from.

It has “Block”, “Find support or report profile” and “Search profile”.

In order to report the account, you need to tap on “Find support for report profile”.

Step 5. Select a problem

The next step is to select the problem after tapping on “Find support for report profile”.

It will show you a list of problems that you can select from.

It has “Harassment”, “Intellectual property” and “Hate speech” and so on.

To report the person, you need to select the problem.

For instance, if the person is posting hate content, you need to choose “Hate speech”.

Alternatively, if the person is impersonating anyone else, you can choose “Pretending to be something”.

Step 6. Tap on “Report profile”

It may need more information when you select a problem.

However, the problems like “Hate speech” will not need additional information.

It will take you to “You selected” page instead.

There are three options there to choose from.

It has “Hide all”, “Block” and “Report profile” options.

The “Block” option will block the person and the person will not be able to see or contact you on Facebook.

The “Hide all” option will be a handful to hide the post of the person.

In the end, the “Report profile” option enables you to ask the Facebook team to review it.

Your task is to report the account, tap on “Report profile”.

Step 7. Tap on “Submit”

When you tap on “Report profile” option, FB will ask if the person is violating the community standards.

You can go through the community standards of Facebook at this URL: https://transparency.fb.com/en-gb/policies/community-standards/

If the person is violating those community standards, you can report them.

To report the person on FB, you need to tap on “Submit”.

After reporting the person, you need to be patient until Facebook reviews the account.

It will give you notifications about the report if you have enabled “Receive notifications about this report” option.

Facebook will take strict action against them as they have violated one or more of the community standards.

The process will result in the deletion of the post as well as the suspension of the account.

This is how to report a Facebook account or profile.

What will happen if you report a Facebook account?

If you report an account on Facebook, the team of FB reviews it.

If the account has published any violated content, they will take strict action against them.

The process includes the deactivation of their account or removal of the post of that person.

The name and personal information of your account will remain confidential.

How many reports are needed to delete a Facebook account?

Facebook does not delete an account keeping in view the number of reports.

The suspension of a Facebook account depends on the severity of the violation.

For instance, if a person is committing a mild violation, the team will not delete the account.

They will give them a warning not to repeat it instead.

Final Words

I highly suggest that you should not report someone if they have not violated the community standards of Facebook.

However, if they have violated any of the community standards it is highly recommended that you report it on FB.

It will keep the platform safe for every user.

You need to keep in mind that Facebook will take a while to go through your request.

It happens because they do not have enough reviewers.

You will get notified if you have enabled “Receive notification about this report” when it will be completed.

The feature can be used in different ways on the platform.

If you want to avoid poking, you can ignore the user or in worse case, you can block them too.

However, it is not visible so you have to search for it because it is hidden on Facebook.

When you navigate to the pokes page, you will see the list of your Facebook friends that have already poked you.

Furthermore, you can also see a list of suggested pokes too.

I have written a step by step guide on how to poke someone on Facebook.

The first step is to open Facebook app and navigate to any page.

The search icon will be visible on the top navigation bar.

You need to search for pokes page to find it.

It is because the feature is hidden from the menu of Facebook.

To use the search feature on Facebook, tap on the search icon.

The search feature will enable you to search for people, posts, shortcuts, and so on.

The poke feature is characterized as “Facebook shortcuts”, so you can use the search feature to find it.

Move on to the next step to know how to navigate to the poke function on Facebook.

In addition, you will also see a list of friends under “Suggested Pokes” to poke them.

The suggestion depends on the algorithm of Facebook.

Tap on the “Poke” button next to their name if you want to poke someone.

The poke notification will be sent to them using app or email after you have poked them.

Then, it is their choice whether they reciprocate the poke or ignore the poke.

If they poked you back, then you can also poke them again.

However, if your friend ignored the poke, you will not be able to poke them for the next time.

You can poke any of your friends who have poked you listed under the “Pokes header.

Tapping the “Poke Back” button will do the job.

The “Poke Back” button will notify your friends with a notification that you have poked them back similar to the “Poke” button.

You have successfully learned how to poke someone on Facebook in mobile app or on PC.

Is poking on Facebook flirting?

Poking on Facebook is not necessarily considered flirting.

The function can be used to greet someone or to break the ice or a friendly nudge.

For instance, if someone is disappeared from Facebook for a long time, you can poke them to get them back to the app.

You can also use the feature to say hello in a non-intrusive way.

It all depends on the intention behind every poke.

Final Words

Poking on Facebook has been defamed in the past years.

Some users consider this feature creepy because they might get poked by users whom they do not know.

Other users find it unnecessary because it is just poking nothing else.

Poking can also cause confusion because you may not know what the person feels or thinks about you when they poke you.

Is it a greeting or something more than a greeting?

It depends on the receivers thinking to determine the cause of poking.

How to Fix Facebook Marketplace Messages Not Showing on Messenger

Are your Facebook Marketplace messages not showing on Messenger and do you want to fix it?

If you are facing it, you won’t be able to chat with the buyer or seller.

Facebook Marketplace helps you to buy, discover and sell items.

You can find the items or products in your area by searching them which are ready for shipping.

Businesses can show their inventory for vehicles, retail items, home rentals and so on.

If you don’t want to avoid posting directly on the marketplace, you can also do the advertisement of your products.

In this post, I will tell you how to fix Facebook Marketplace messages not showing up on Messenger.

Why can’t I see messages from Marketplace on Messenger?

You can’t see messages from Marketplace on Messenger due to the shifting of Marketplace chat.

In some cases, you might have accidentally archived your chat after marking your item as sold.

On the other hand, FB messenger can be down and it is wise to wait for it to be back up.

Messenger gets multiple updates throughout the year.

With new updates, the location of the Marketplace chat has been changed.

It is accessible via your “Chats” under “Marketplace”.

For some users, they can reach the Marketplace chat by tapping on their profile picture > Marketplace.

How to fix Facebook Marketplace messages not showing on Messenger

To fix Facebook Marketplace messages not showing on Messenger, enable other users on FB to send you message, check your archived chats or try reinstalling messenger after uninstalling it.

If everything fails, it is the best choice to use the Facebook app to check your Marketplace messages instead of using Messenger.

If you have updated your Messenger recently, it might have moved its location.

It’s either can be found in your chats or in the menu under “Marketplace”.

In some cases, Messenger might not be up, so you have to inspect its status on downdetector.com/status/facebook-messenger/.

If you come across a spike in the graph, it shows that Messenger is most likely down and the best bet is to wait for a few hours for it to be back up.

Solution 1: Allow other Users on Facebook to message you

  • Go to Facebook Messenger.
  • Tap on your profile picture.
  • Select Privacy & safety > Message delivery > Others on Facebook.
  • Select “Message requests”.

Note: This process will only allow people to message you on FB.

Solution 2: Check your archived chats

  • Go to Facebook Messenger.
  • Tap on your profile picture.
  • Select “Archived chats”.
  • Find your Facebook Marketplace chat.

Note: You might have mistakenly archived a Marketplace chat after marking an item as sold, so you need to go through your archived chats.

Solution 3: Uninstall and reinstall Messenger

  • Tap and hold the Messenger app and remove it.
  • Go to the App Store or Google Play Store.
  • Search for Messenger and reinstall it.
  • Open Messenger and sign in to your FB account.
  • Check if your Marketplace messages are available (it must be fixed now).

Note: You will be signed out of all accounts by reinstalling Messenger (so you’ll have to sign in again), but all of your chats will be available and saved as they are being stored in the database of Facebook.

Solution 4: Use the Facebook app instead

  • Go to the Facebook app.
  • Select Marketplace > Profile icon > Inbox.
  • Select “Selling” or “Buying” (it depends on the chat that you want to access).
  • Go to the chat that you want to see.

Note: If you are unable to access your Marketplace messages on Messenger, you can access them on the app of FB.

How to Fix “100 Unsupported Request Method Type Post” on Facebook

Last Updated on By

Are you getting a “Login-failed” error whenever you try to sign in to your Facebook account?

The last part of the error is, “100 Unsupported Request – method type: post”.

Are you not able to log in to the Facebook app?

The whole social media is flooded with this issue and published on platforms like Twitter.

In this post, I will tell you why Facebook says “100 Unsupported Request – method type: post” and how to fix it on Android and iOS devices.

Why does Facebook say “Unsupported request”?

Facebook says “Unsupported request” due to a bug/glitch on the app.

On the other hand, FB might be having an outage problem.

It can only be checked if Facebook is down by going to DownDetector or searching for the issue that you are getting on Twitter.

If you come across a spike in the DownDetector graph, it might be up because Facebook is down.

On September 29th, 2022, a lot of users reported the Facebook log-in problem.

A tweet by username @Pumpum_1022, “I’m not so sure if it’s hacked or anything but I logged out my account from all devices. I also changed my password, and when I tried logging in again, it keeps saying unsupported request – method type:post”.

“@facebook Hello, when I log into my account, it says unsupported request method type post. Pease solve my issue”.

Apparently, the log-in issue is a global issue that is going on in the Facebook mobile app and Messenger.

How to fix “100 Unsupported Request Method Type Post” on Facebook

To fix “100 Unsupported Request Method Type Post” on Facebook, you need to remove the app’s cache or install an older version of the app from any website like Uptodown.

You can also try using another network, wait for 24-48 hours span, update the application.

Here are 6 ways that you can use to fix the log-in failed issue:

  • Remove Facebook’s cache: Open the Settings app > Apps > Facebook > Storage > Clear Cache > Clear Data > re-launch Facebook.
  • Use an older version of Facebook (only for Android phones): https://facebook.en.uptodown.com/android/versions.
  • Change your internet from Wi-Fi to mobile data (and vice-versa).
  • Update the FB app to the latest version.
  • Uninstall and reinstall the FB app.
  • Wait for 24 to 48 hours span.

The first way to use is to clear the cache of Facebook.

If you’re an Android user, it can be done by opening the Settings app, finding Facebook, and tapping on “Clear Cache” next to “Clear Data”.

A common problem on the app can be resolved by clearing Facebook’s cache like loading and logging out.

Alternatively, you will log out of FB by clearing the app’s data.

You can also visit Uptodown and downgrade your version of Facebook and try installing an older version of it.

In some cases, the bugs and glitches are the results of the latest Facebook updates.

You can restrict those glitches and bugs by downloading an older version of Facebook and it is a temporary fix until a new update is released to fix them.

If Facebook servers are down, your best bet is to wait for 24 to 48 hours for them to be back up.

If Facebook has released a new update that offers bug fixes, you should update the app as early as possible.
