How to Fix “The action attempted has been deemed abusive” on Facebook

How to Fix Can’t Log Out of Facebook

Last Updated on September 16, 2022 By Arsalan Rauf

Are you not able to log out of the Facebook app?

Does the app lead to your feed when you tap on “Log Out”?

Or does the Facebook app refresh when you tap on it?

A lot of users are getting the issue and also reporting it on social media platforms such as Twitter.

In this post, I will guide you on why can’t you log out of Facebook and how to fix it on Android and iOS devices.

Why can’t I log out of Facebook?

You can’t log out of Facebook due to a bug or a glitch.

It can also mean that Facebook is not working for everyone.

On September 15th, 2022, a lot of users experiencing the Facebook log-out problem.

A username @yard_brent tweeted on Twitter, “Anyone else not able to log out of Facebook? I’m not on Facebook that often so I always log out when I’m finished”.

“I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still won’t let me log out”.

“However, I can log in and log out of the Facebook website using Chrome”.

Another user named @a_ashburton tweeted, “I can’t log out of Facebook, and logging out of all my devices is not a viable solution for me”.

Apparently, the log-out issue is on a global level and you are not alone, it affects the Facebook mobile app and Messenger.

The desktop version of Facebook is not affected (if you’re using browsers like Chrome or IE).

How to fix can’t log out of Facebook

Here are the working ways to fix can’t log out of Facebook (5 methods):

Clear the cache of Facebook by following these steps: Open the Settings app > Apps > Facebook > Storage > Clear Cache > Clear Data > re-open Facebook.
Uninstall the latest version and Install an older version of Facebook (for Android devices): https://facebook.en.uptodown.com/android/versions.
Update FB to the latest version.
Uninstall and reinstall Facebook.
Wait for 24-48 hours span.

The first way is to clear Facebook’s cache.

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

You can fix certain issues on the application by clearing Facebook’s cache including loading and logging out.

Alternatively, you will be logged out of the app by clearing the app’s data.

Move back to an older version of Facebook and download it from Uptodown.

In some cases, the latest Facebook update might contain some bugs and glitches and when you update the app, you get them.

You can fix the bugs by downloading an older version of Facebook until a new update is released by Facebook to fix them.

If Facebook is not up, it is a wise act to wait for 24 to 48 hours for it to be back up.

If there’s a new update is published to fix the bugs, you need to update the app.

How to Fix “The action attempted has been deemed abusive” on Facebook

Last Updated on September 13, 2022 By Arsalan Rauf

Are you facing a “The action attempted has been deemed abusive or is otherwise disallowed” error on Facebook?

The first part of the error message is, “Something went wrong. Please try again”.

If you are getting the error, you will not be able to do perform some actions including creating a new Facebook account.

You may experience the error message if you try to send a message on Messenger.

In this post, I will tell you what “The action attempted has been deemed abusive or is otherwise disallowed” means on Facebook and how to fix it.

What does it mean when Facebook says the action attempted has been deemed abusive?

When Facebook says that the action attempted has been deemed abusive, it means that the system has flagged you as spam.

If that is the case, it will block your IP address temporarily.

When you are restricted, you won’t be able to do certain actions on Facebook.

For instance, you cannot create a new account.

In addition, a block may be imposed on you and restrict you from sending messages on Messenger.

In most cases, you might have flagged from Facebook by mistake and your IP address will be blocked.

The block on your IP address may last for 24 hours or more than that.

Luckily, you can bypass this block—by changing your network or connecting to a VPN.

How to fix “The action attempted has been deemed abusive” on Facebook

To fix “The action attempted has been deemed abusive” on Facebook, the best bet is to make a new account on Facebook on their website.

On the other hand, you can change your network or connect to a VPN to bypass it.

Fix 1: Create a new Facebook account from their website

Go to www.facebook.com.
Click or tap on “Create New Account”.
Follow the instructions on the screen to create a new account.

After creating a new FB account on Facebook.com will remove the “The action attempted has been deemed abusive” error.

If you’re still getting the error, you can try the next method.

Fix 2: Switch your network

If you’re using a Wi-Fi network, change it to mobile data.
If you’re connected to a mobile data, switch to a Wi-Fi network.
You can also try using a different Wi-Fi network too.
If everything fails, try to connect to a VPN.

The error on Facebook indicates that IP address is temporarily blocked on Facebook.

Changing your network will uplift the block.

The reason behind it is that it will change your IP address.

If you are unable to remove the block, you can try connecting to a VPN.

To begin with, download a free VPN app from the App Store or Google Play Store and connect to it free of cost.

After changing your network or connecting to a VPN, the next step is to force close the Facebook/Messenger app.

In the end, re-open the Facebook/Messenger app and the error message should be fixed.

If you’re not signed in to Facebook and you forgot your email address, you can use the mobile number to log in instead.

However, if you didn’t add your phone number, the only ways that you can use is to view your saved passwords in your phone’s settings.

For iOS devices, you can see your saved passwords by navigating to your phone’s settings and tapping on “Passwords”.

For Android users, you can see your saved passwords by visiting your phone’s settings > Google > Manage your Google Account > Security > Password manager.

You can follow the below steps in this guide on how you can find your Facebook password if you’re already logged in.

After opening Facebook, tap on the “Menu” icon on the bottom bar.

The menu will be opened by tapping on the “Menu” icon.

The menu will show you your Facebook profile and page(s).

Under your Facebook profile and page(s), there are several options that you can select such as “Groups”, “Friends”, and more.

Scroll down the menu until you locate the option that shows “Settings & Privacy”.

If you’re using FB on a desktop, you need to click on “Settings”.

Step 3. Tap on “Contact info”

After tapping on “Name and contact information”, it will take you to the name and contact information page.

On the page, there are three options including your name, contact info, and identity confirmation.

The “Name” option enables you to view and change your name on Facebook.

After that, the “Contact info” option helps you to manage your phone number and email addresses on FB.

In the end, the “Identity confirmation” feature is to confirm your identity with Facebook in order to run ads.

Since you want to find your Facebook email address, you need to tap on “Contact info”.

If you’re on the desktop version of Facebook, you’ll be able to view your email address on “General Account Settings”.

Step 4. See your Facebook email address

I hope that you have learned how to see your email address on Facebook!

How do I find out what email I used for Facebook on my phone?

To find out what email you used for Facebook on your phone, the ideal step is to go to the “Contact info” page.

After reaching the “Contact info” page, you’ll be able to see the email address that you’ve used to create your Facebook account beside the mail icon.

After that, tap on the menu > Settings & Privacy > Settings > Name and contact information > Contact info.

How do I get into my Facebook account if I forgot my email and password?

To get into your Facebook account if you forgot your email and password, you can try to locate them via your saved passwords.

On both iOS and Android devices, you can see your saved passwords by navigating to your phone’s settings.

How to See Your Facebook Password Without Changing it

Last Updated on August 12, 2022 By Arsalan Rauf

Have you been not using Facebook for a while? If yes, you might have forgotten your password.

However, you might be still signed into the FB app.

In this case, there are a couple of things that need to be done.

First of all, you can change your Facebook password by selecting the “Forgot password?” link from the login page of Facebook.

On the other hand, you need to check whether your Facebook password is saved on your device or not.

If luckily your Facebook password is saved on your device, there is no need to reset your password.

However, many users do not know about it how to see their Facebook password.

In addition, some people do not save passwords on their device, so they might not save the Facebook login details.

Regardless, in this post, I will tell you how to see your Facebook password on both iPhone and Android devices whether you’re logged in or not.

How to see your Facebook password

To see your Facebook password, the first thing you need to do is to check your saved passwords on your device.

Your saved passwords can be checked on both iPhone and Android devices.

If you’re an iPhone user, you can see your saved passwords by going to “Passwords” in your phone’s settings.

After reaching the “Passwords” screen, you’ll be able to see all of your saved passwords of the apps such as Facebook.

For Android users, you can see your saved passwords by going to the “Password Manager” using your Google account.

The “Password Manager” will have a list of all of your saved passwords, and your Facebook password might be available there.

If you are unable to find it, then you might have disabled the saving of passwords.

In this case, you are left with no choice but to reset your Facebook password.

How to see your Facebook password on iPhone

To see your Facebook password on an iPhone, the first step is to go to your phone’s settings.

After that, go to “Passwords” and you’ll be able to see your Facebook password there.

On an iPhone, you can ask Siri to find your saved passwords or find them in your settings.

If you’re using Siri, you need to ask like that, “Hey Siri, what is my Facebook password?”.

After that, you’ll be asked to use Touch ID to view it.

If you did not activate Siri on your iPhone, you can go to your saved passwords manually instead.

You can go to it manually by going to your settings > passwords > facebook.com.

Here are the steps in this guide on how you can do this.

Step 1. Go to your settings

Visit your iPhone Settings.

The first thing you need to do is to go to your phone’s settings.

It can be done by searching for “Settings” or finding it manually.

To find the settings of your phone, swipe down from the top of your screen and search for “Settings”.

After that, tap on the Settings icon to visit your settings.

On the other hand, you can find the settings by searching for its icon on your home screen.

After locating your settings, tap on it to visit it.

Step 2. Tap on “Passwords”

Scroll down & tap on “Passwords”.

After reaching your phone’s settings, you’ll see multiple options such as “Airplane Mode”, “Wi-Fi”, “Bluetooth”, and so on.

The option that you should be looking for is “Passwords” as you’ll be able to see your saved passwords there.

Scroll down until you locate the option that shows “Passwords”.

The “Passwords” option is available under the “Wallet & Apple Pay” option.

To view your saved passwords on your device, you need to tap on “Passwords”.

Move on to the next step to learn how to find your Facebook login details.

Step 3. Tap on “facebook.com”

Tap on “facebook.com” and use Touch ID to see your Facebook login details such as username and password.

After tapping on “Passwords”, you need to provide/enter your passcode or use Touch ID to view them.

If you’ve enabled Touch ID, you need to use your thumb to unlock it.

Alternatively, if you’re going with your passcode, enter your six-digit passcode.

After unlocking your passwords, a list of all of your saved passwords will be shown.

For instance, if you’ve saved your Snapchat password, you’ll be able to see it from the “snapchat.com” option.

The option that you should be finding is the “facebook.com” option.

You can locate it by scrolling down to the “F” alphabet or searching for “Facebook” using the search bar.

After finding the “facebook.com” option, tap on it to view.

After tapping on it, you’ll be able to view your Facebook username and password on the “Username” and “Password” fields.

Tap on the “Password” field and select “Copy” to copy the password.

I hope that you have learned how to change your Facebook password on an iPhone!

How to see your Facebook password on Android

To see your Facebook password on Android, you need to go to your Google Account from your phone’s settings.

After reaching your Google Account, you need to tap on “Manage your Google Account” next to “Password Manager”.

In the Password Manager, you can see your saved passwords, also passwords of Facebook.

Here are the steps you need to follow in this guide to do this:

Firstly, go to your Phone’s Settings.
Scroll down and tap on “Google”.
Select “Manage your Google Account”.
Go to the “Security” tab.
Scroll down and tap on “Password Manager”.
On the Password Manager, tap on “Facebook”.
Enter the passcode or use your fingerprint to unlock it.
Lastly, tap on the “eye” icon to reveal your Facebook password.

On Android, most of your passwords will be found on the Password Manager.

Therefore, if you are looking for your Facebook password, the best way is to navigate to your Password Manager via your Google Account.

I hope that you have learned how to change your Facebook password on Android!

Final Words

If you’re logged in to Facebook, the password will not be visible directly on the app.

The reason behind it is that Facebook does not allow it as it compromises your security.

If there was a feature that enables you to see your Facebook password while you’re logged in, then anyone will be able to access or view your Facebook password.

As a result, they will be able to change it through your settings and your Facebook account will be compromised.

Therefore, if you want to view your FB password, you should follow the steps mentioned in this guide.

What Does “Other Viewers” Mean on Facebook Story?

Last Updated on August 11, 2022 By Arsalan Rauf

Are you facing a “1 other person viewed this story” on Facebook story?

The full sentence will be: “1 other person viewed this story. As it was shared to Public, a person you aren’t friends with saw it”.

In 2017, Facebook has released its stories that allow the users to upload a video or a photo that can remain in stories for 24 hours and their friends can see it.

It is same as Snapchat stories (the original publisher of stories).

Social media apps like Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, and so on has come to increase the attention of its users.

With the story feature, users can share their events of life with their dear ones and family.

Additionally, users can also see who viewed their Stories by looking at their list of the viewers.

However, it also has some confusing terms in the viewer’s list including “Other Viewers” on Facebook Stories.

If you have also seen that term (e.g. A other person viewed this story), you might want to know what it means.

After all, you want to know who seen your stories right?

In this post, I will tell you what “Other Viewers” mean on Facebook stories, how to see them, and more.

What Does “Other Viewers” Mean on Facebook story?

“Other Viewers” are the people on FB who have viewed your story that are not in your friends list on Facebook.

For instance, if it says “4 other people viewed this story”, it shows that 4 people that you’re not friends with have seen your story.

“Other viewers” will only be visible if you’ve changed your story’s privacy setting on Facebook.

By default, the privacy setting of your story will be set to “Friends” only.

“Friends” only means that only your friends on FB can view your story.

If you changed it to “Public”, anyone on Facebook or Messenger will be able to view your story.

Having said that, if someone who is not in your friend’s list on Facebook sees your story, they will be under “Other Viewers”.

If you happened to change your story’s privacy setting to “Public”, people who are not your friends on Facebook will be able to view your stories.

These users are categorized under “Other Viewers” on FB, and you cannot see their profiles.

The irony is that the users under “Other Viewers” will be anonymous.

A privacy setting called “Custom” is also available that allows you to select who can view your story.

If you only want to display your story to a selected group of friends, you can use this option.

However, this setting will restrict the public to see your story, as a result, “Other Viewers” won’t show up.

How to see “Other Viewers” on Facebook

Facebook does not show the profiles of “Other Viewers”.

Unluckily, you cannot see “Other Viewers” on FB

According to Facebook, if the privacy of your story is set to “Public”, you’re only able to view the followers who viewed your story, but not their specific names.

If the privacy of your story is set to “Public”, everyone will be able to see your story.

People who’ve seen your story that are not friends with you on Facebook will be shown under “Other Viewers”.

However, their names will not be shown to you.

In short, the users under “Other Viewers” will be hidden from you and they remain anonymous.

This limitation is disliked by many users as they are unable to see who the “Other Viewers” are.

There’s even a petition filed by Wendy Williams that demands Facebook to display the “Other Viewers”.

You can also sign the petition if you support it.

How to get rid of “Other Viewers” on Facebook

Go to Facebook app > profile > add story > add a photo/video > privacy > friends.

To get rid of “Other Viewers” on Facebook, your best bet is to change your story privacy to “Friends” the next time you post a story.

The reason why “Other Viewers” appears on your Facebook story views is that you’ve set the story’s privacy setting to “Public”.

If you’ve changed your story’s privacy setting from “Friends” to “Public”, users on FB who are not in your friends list can view your story.

As a result, they will be categorized under “Other Viewers” for instance, 3 other persons viewed this story.

If you want to restrict strangers from viewing your stories, you need to make changes to your privacy settings.

Here are the steps in this guide on how you can get rid of “Other Viewers” on the Facebook app:

Firstly, open your Facebook profile > Add Story.
Add a photo/video.
Tap on “Privacy” at the bottom left of your screen.
Lastly, change your privacy setting to “Friends”.

Note: You only have to change this setting one time.

Once you have changed your privacy setting to “Friends”, stories that you post in the future will only be seen by your friends.

In short, people who are not friends with you won’t be able to see your stories.

Therefore, this will prevent “Other Viewers” from showing up and it will be hidden from your story views.

Does “Other Viewers” mean that I’m blocked?

If someone blocks you right after they viewed your story, it will hide their profile, and you’ll see “1 viewer” in your story views.

Yes, “Other Viewers” on your Facebook story views can mean that someone has blocked you.

However, it can hardly happen.

“Other viewers” are people who saw your story that is not on your friends list on Facebook.

If you’re blocked on Facebook, you will be restricted from seeing the person’s posts, stories, and you’ll be removed as a friend.

Neither can the person see your stories or posts on the platform.

However, if the user viewed your story and blocked you right after, you’ll get “1 viewer” on your story views.

You will not be able to view the person’s name.

If the user unblocks you, adds you as a friend on Facebook, and you accept it, their name will re-appear on your story views.

I have tested it with the help of 2 accounts, and it’s proven to be true.

Final Words

Knowing who viewed your stories is necessary due to privacy and safety reasons.

Unfortunately, if your privacy settings are set to “Public”, you won’t be able to see the people who saw your stories that you’re not friends on Facebook with.

Facebook is still not showing who the “Other Viewers” are, so you can only see your friends that saw your story.

Here are the main key points in the article:

If you set your story’s privacy setting to “Public”, everyone on Facebook and Messenger can view your story.
“Other Viewers” are people who are not on your friends’ list on Facebook.
You cannot see “Other Viewers” as Facebook is deliberately keeping them hidden.
In the event that anyone blocks you after watching your story, you’ll see “1 viewer” in your story views as their profile will remain anonymous.

All in all, it’s highly recommended that your privacy settings should be set to “Friends”.

Otherwise, strangers will be able to see your story and you will not be able to know them.

3 Steps to Appear Offline on Facebook Messenger

Last Updated on August 11, 2022 By Arsalan Rauf

You can see whether someone is offline or online on Facebook Messenger.

However, the activity status of the person should be enabled.

Same as WhatsApp, you can disable your activity status on Facebook Messenger

If the person’s activity status is disabled, they can always be offline.

In short, you won’t be able to tell whether the person is active or not.

If you want to appear offline on Facebook Messenger, you need to go through this guide to find out how.

How to appear offline on Facebook Messenger

To appear offline on Facebook Messenger, the first step is to tap on your profile picture.

Now, go to “Active Status” and turn off the “Show when you’re active” option.

After turning off the “Show when you’re active” feature, your active status will not be shown.

Before you turn off the “Show when you’re active” feature, your FB friends should be able to see a green dot on your profile picture.

After turning it off, the green dot will no longer be shown on your profile.

However, just remember that you won’t be able to see the activity status of your friends too.

If you want to view your friends’ activity status, the option “Show when you’re active” should be enabled.

Having said that, follow the below steps in this guide on how you can appear offline on Facebook messenger by turning off your active status.

#1: Tap on your profile picture

Go to Facebook Messenger and tap on your profile picture available on the top bar.

The first thing you need to do is to tap on your profile picture on the Messenger app.

To get started, open the Messenger app on your android device.

The Messenger can also be used on a desktop, but the user interface will be a little different.

We have used the mobile version of Messenger for the sake of this guide rather than the desktop version.

Therefore, it’s better to use the Messenger app instead of the desktop version when following this guide.

After opening Messenger, you’ll see your chats.

After that, tap on your profile picture available on the top bar.

If you’re using the desktop version of Messenger, tap on the three dots next to your profile picture instead.

A navigation menu will be opened with several options.

Move on to the next step to learn how to navigate to the active status setting.

#2: Tap on “Active Status”

Step 2 is to tap on the “Active Status” option.

The navigation menu will show multiple options such as “Dark mode”, “Switch account”, “Active Status”, and more.

“Dark mode” allows you to change the appearance of the app and you can enable the dark theme.

You can switch your FB accounts using “Switch account” option.

In the end, you can turn on or turn off your activity status using the “Active Status” feature.

To visit the active status settings, you need to tap on the “Active Status” option.

This feature will help you to appear offline on Facebook if you disable it.

If you’re using Messenger on a desktop, you can open a different navigation menu by tapping on the three dots.

On that navigation menu, you need to click on “Preferences” to go to your preferences.

After that, tap on “Turn Off Active Status” to visit the active status setting.

Move on to the next step to learn how to turn off your active status to appear offline on Messenger.

#3: Turn off the “Show when you’re active” option

Active Status > Show when you’re active > Switch off.

After tapping on the “Active Status” option, it will take you to the “Active Status” setting.

On the setting, you will come across “Show when you’re active” option.

The “Show when you’re active” feature is enabled by default.

If the option is enabled, your contacts and friends will be able to know when you are active.

Alternatively, if the option is disabled, your friends and contacts will not be able to know when you’re active.

Tap on the switch to turn off the “Show when you’re active” option.

After tapping on the switch, you will see a pop-up message confirming whether you want to turn off your Active Status or not.

To turn off your Active Status, you have to tap on “Turn off”.

Once your Active Status is turned off, you will appear offline to your contacts as well as friends on Facebook Messenger.

However, the ability to see your friends’ or contacts’ Active Status will also be lost too.

This setting is same as hiding your “Last Seen” status on WhatsApp.

I hope that you have learned how to appear offline on FB Messenger!

Can you appear offline on Facebook Messenger but still see messages?

Yes, you can appear offline on FB Messenger but still see messages.

Appearing offline on Messenger will hide your Active Status from your Facebook friends and contacts.

In short, they won’t be able to see that you’re online.

However, you can still view messages that people send you.

Additionally, you will still be able to view your existing chats on Facebook.

How do I hide myself on Facebook Messenger?

To hide yourself on Facebook messenger, the only way is to turn off your Active Status.

After turning off your Active Status, your contacts and friends will not be able to view that you’re online.

However, it will also restrict you to see whether they are online too.

Usually, whenever you’re online on Facebook, you see a green dot on your profile picture.

Now after turning off your Active Status, the green dot will not be displayed on your profile picture even if you’re using Facebook Messenger.

Final Words

Appearing offline on Facebook Messenger is an ideal method to mitigate stalkers.

It also stops someone from thinking that you’re deliberately ignoring their messages or them.

If you usually reply late to someone’s messages, appearing offline is an ideal option.

The only drawback of using this option is that you won’t be able to see your contacts’ and friends’ Active Status.

A lot of users have reported that their Facebook accounts were locked by mistake as they did not use password on any site or third-party tools or apps.

However, they were not able to unlock their accounts even after following the instructions on the screen as the security code was not sent.

If you’re not getting the security code, or if the instructions on the screen aren’t working, try unblocking your contacts before sending the code again.

How to Fix “Your Account is Temporarily Locked” on Facebook

To fix “Your Account is Temporarily Locked” on Facebook, your task is to submit the “Report a login issue” form.

On the other hand, you can also submit the “Security checks preventing login” and the “Confirm your identity with Facebook” form too.

These forms enable you to contact Facebook directly to recover or restore your account.

After submitting the form, Facebook will contact you via the email address that you have given.

Typically, their team responds to you in 1-5 business days.

Sometimes, you may have to wait for a longer time to get their response.

The reason for this is that Facebook gets an excessive number of reports daily, so they might take a while to respond yours.

Below are the three forms that can be used to contact Facebook for help in unlocking your account.

Solution 1. Report a login issue

Visit this link: https://m.facebook.com/support/forms/flow_view?id=357439354283890.
Enter the email address that is associated with your Facebook account.
Write a description of the problem and provide a screenshot (optional).
Select “Next” next to “Submit” to submit the form.

This form is designed for users who are unable to log in to their Facebook accounts.

Since you’re locked out of your Facebook account, this form can be used by you to contact Facebook.

You should use a working email address for this as Facebook will respond to you from it.

Next, you have to provide a description of the problem that you’re getting.

An example of a description that can be used, “Hi Facebook team, I’ve been locked out of my account by mistake. I need help to unlock it”.

After that, you can upload a screenshot of the error but it is optional.

Depending on the number of submissions, the team of Facebook might take 1 to 5 business days to reply you.

Method 2. Security checks preventing login

Visit this link https://m.facebook.com/support/forms/flow_view?id=179049432194862.
Enter the email address that is associated with your Facebook account.
Write a description of the problem and provide a screenshot (optional).
Select “Next” next to “Submit” to submit the form.

This form is designed for users who can’t log in to their Facebook accounts due to security checks.

For instance, if you’re not getting a security code to unlock your account, this form can be used to contact Facebook to get help.

Facebook will get in touch with you using the email address that you’ve provided.

After that, enter the description of your problem.

An example of a description will be, “Hi Facebook team, my account has been locked accidentally/by mistake and I’m not receiving a security code to unlock it. I need help in unlocking it”.

Wait for a few days to get Facebook’s reply.

Method 3. Confirm your identity with Facebook

You have to take a close photo of your ID in a room that has enough lighting.
Save the photo to your computer, laptop or mobile device.
Visit this link: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/515009838910929 and select “Get Started”.
To upload your ID, you need to follow the instructions on the screen.

This form is designed for verifying your identity with FB to prove that you’re the owner of the account.

So, you can also use this form to contact FB for help in unlocking your account.

How long is Facebook temporarily locked?

The duration of a temporary Facebook lock can last 24-48 hours.

Your account will be unlocked as early as you complete the instructions on your screen.

However, if you didn’t get a security code, you need to contact Facebook to get additional help using the methods above.

Otherwise, your Facebook account may be locked permanently.

Final Words

Facebook accounts are very likely to get banned temporarily.

Especially, you can face a ban if you’re using a third-party app or tool.

However, a temporary lock on your Facebook account might happen because of a mistake.

In fact, a large number of users that are experiencing this issue didn’t actually use any tools or third-party apps.

However, the spam system falsely detected it.

Therefore, if you frequently use Facebook, the best way is to make a secondary account in case something happens to your main account.

If you’ve completed the form(s) above and you still haven’t gotten a response from Facebook after a week, repeat the process and submit them again.

However, do not spam the forms, otherwise, you will be blacklisted.

How to Fix “App Not Set Up: This app is still in development mode”

Last Updated on July 18, 2022 By Arsalan Rauf

Are you getting an “App Not Set Up” error when you try to log in to a game on Facebook and do you want to fix it?

The next part of the error message is: “App Not Set Up: This app is still in development mode, and you don’t have access to it”.

The last part of the error message is: “Switch to a registered test user or ask an app admin for permissions”.

When you are facing it, it means that you will not be able to log in to the game via Facebook.

It can occur on games like 8 Ball Pool, BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India), Mobile Legends, Fortnite, and some other games.

Consequently, you will be unable to continue your progress.

In this post, I will tell you how to fix the “App Not Set Up: This app is still in development mode” error on Facebook login.

What does it mean when it says the app is in development mode?

When the app is in development mode, it shows that the developer didn’t make their app live.

If the app is offline, you can only access to the app if you are a registered test user.

There are two modes of an app on Facebook.

The modes are “Development mode” and “Live mode”.

FB sets new apps to development mode automatically.

This process will be helpful for developers so they can configure and test the application before they submit it for review.

When the app is in development mode, it will get access to all features and permissions.

However, the data for the administrator, developer, tester, and analytics user will be accessible.

In 2019, all apps need to be set to live mode for the sake of production use.

However, developers have to give some information before pushing their app live.

How to fix “App Not Set Up: This app is still in development mode”

To fix “App Not Set Up: This app is still in development mode”, the best is to wait until the developer of the game fixes the issue.

Therefore, the first task that you should perform is to check if the app or game is down.

There are several places to ensure if a game is down.

You can go to the social media platforms of the game or go to downdetector.com.

In 2022, the login of Facebook was not working for 8 Ball Poll.

8 Ball Pool was aware of the issue which is why they tweeted about it saying that they are working on a fix.

They also added that if you are already logged in, you can play the game.

However, you should not be logging out of your FB account.

The “App Not Set Up” error can also happen to other games which are using the login feature of Facebook.

Similarly, you should go through their social media profiles to check if they post about the login problem there.

Additionally, you can also tell the developer about the login issue directly by contacting them.

You can locate the contact us page of a game by going to it on the App Store and selecting “App Support”.

If you’re an Android device user, find the game on the Google Play Store and choose “Developer contact”.

How to fix “App Not Set Up: This app is still in development mode” as a developer

Firstly, go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps/.
Now, select the app that is getting the login issue.
Give a privacy policy URL, app icon, business use, and app category.
To enable live mode, toggle the “In development” switch.

In 2019, all apps need to be set to live mode for the purpose of production use.

You cannot manage any assets if your app is in development mode.

They introduced the developer mode to support the development process for API integration.

In addition, the mode also helps you to test the features and permissions before you submit the app for review.

You need to give some information in your basic settings first to enable the live mode.

The information includes a privacy policy URL, app icon, business use, and app category.

You can go to your basic settings by clicking on Settings > Basic.

If you don’t have a privacy policy, you need to create one with the help of a free generator.

If you need more assistance, you can go to this URL: https://developers.facebook.com/support/.

Final Words

The “App Not Set Up” error is a Facebook login issue that is why the users cannot log in to the app or a game via Facebook.

If you’re facing the error as a user, all you need to do is to wait for the developer to fix it.

After the issue is fixed, the app or game might be updated and a new version may be launched.

If the app or game is updated, update the app or game on the App Store and try logging in to it with FB.

On the other hand, you can also contact the developer of the app or game and tell them that you are getting a problem with logging in with Facebook.

How to See Unsent Messages on Messenger

Last Updated on August 31, 2023 By Arsalan Rauf

Did someone delete or unsend a message on Facebook Messenger and you want to see it?

If they removed it, you won’t be able to see it anymore.

The reason is that unsending a message on Messenger will permanently delete it from the chat.

However, the user has to select “Unsend for Everyone” instead of “Unsend for you”.

The “Unsend for Everyone” option is the same as the “Delete For Everyone” feature on WhatsApp.

In this post, I will tell you how to read or see unsent messages on Messenger for iPhone and Android (with or without an app).

How to see unsent messages on Messenger

To see unsent messages on Messenger, the first thing is to download the “Notisave” app on Google Play.

The app is a status and notifications saver which is why it will save your messages on messenger automatically.

It can be done by autosaving notifications displayed on your notification bar.

In addition, you can also find the notifications from all the apps at one time.

Notisave not only supports Messenger but also supports other messenger apps with its autosaving new messages, images, and statuses.

Here’s a step by step guide on how to use Notisave:

Firstly, you need to download Notisave from Google Play.
Allow access to notifications by turning on “Notisave”.
You need to allow Notisave to access your photos, media, and files.
Tap on the three dots next to “Settings”.
Tap on “Save notifications”.
Now, turn on “Messenger”.

After turning on “Messenger”, message notifications from Messenger will be saved on Notisave automatically.

Therefore, if someone unsent a message on Messenger, go to the Notisave app, and you can see the unsent message there.

You can do the experiment by using another phone and sending a message to yourself and unsend it after sending it.

Just remember that you need to enable Messenger notifications to make this work for you.

Otherwise, Notisave app will not be able to save your Messenger notifications.

Unluckily, you can use Notisave only available on Android devices from Google Play store.

The app is not available on the App Store for iPhone/iOS users.

How to see unsent messages on Messenger without app

To see unsent messages on Messenger without an app, the first step is to turn on “Notification history” in your settings.

It will save messages that you get on Messenger before it is unsent.

Just remember that this method only works for some Android devices.

The reason behind it is that not every Android phone contains the “Notification history” feature.

Here’s a step by step guide on how to turn on “Notification history”:

Firstly, visit your settings.
Tap on “Notifications”.
Tap on “Advanced settings”.
Now, select “Notification history”.
Turn on “Notification history” to turn it on.

Now, you can view any unsent messages on Facebook Messenger by going to your Messenger notification history.

If the “Notification history” is already turned on in the past, select “Messenger”.

After selecting “Messenger”, it will show you your Messenger notification history.

The history includes recent and unsent messages on Messenger.

Unfortunately, if you’ve recently turned on “Notification history”, you cannot view previous unsent messages on Messenger.

As a result, you will be able to see future unsent messages.

The reason for not seeing the messages is that the previous messages are not saved as a notification.

Just remember that this will not work for iOS devices because they do not contain the “Notification history” feature.

Also, not all Android devices support the “Notification history” option.

If the feature is not available for you, you can download the “Notisave” app instead.

Final Words

Unsent messages on Messenger will be removed permanently if “Unsend for Everyone” is selected.

However, the messages can be viewed by using the two methods in this guide.

These tips above use your notification history to read unsent messages.

Both the “Notisave” app and the “Notification history” option save your history of notifications.

Therefore, to make it work, you need to ensure that your Facebook Messenger notifications are turned on.

To turn them on, go to the “Settings” app > Notifications > All apps > Messenger > Turn on notifications.

This will enable the “Notisave” app to save the notifications of your Messenger.

For instance, if someone sent you a message on Messenger, the message will be saved as a notification in the app.

Even if the person unsent/deleted the message, you can still view it in the “Notisave” app or your notification history due to the fact that it is saved as a notification.
