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

Our doubts and worries are not just mere ideas and visions. Sometimes our intuitions are right but we make the mistake of shoving them aside and not believing they could be true. Some spouses are really great at hiding a lot and you can never know the truth if you don’t take the first step of finding out and clearing your doubts. If you don’t find out the truth, you will keep living in deception and living in a life of fairy tale while your partner keeps outsmarting and taking advantage of you. I never had the thought of hacking my spouse’s cell phone until I stumbled on an article online about a man who gave all his love to his wife only for him to be cheated on. I developed goosebumps and decided to give it a try. I quickly searched online for a hacker and I was lucky to stumble on good recommendations about FREDVALCYBERGHOST@GMAIL.COM and you can text, call him on +1-423641 1452. so I contacted him by email to help me dig out my spouse’s dirty dealings and secrets. Before now I could vouch for him and never believed he was cheating. Until I saw his social media conversations, text messages, call records, media files including my conversations with him without touching his phone. It was unbelievable and mind-blowing. You honestly wouldn’t believe what I saw. Stop living in uncertainty and find out the truth today
I was delighted to eventually be ending up with the man of dreams. Only for me to receive a reality check when he started acting funny during my 2nd trimester. Initially, I thought it was a dad fever but he grew cold romantically and emotional towards me. He complained and flared up at any given opportunity. Eventually, I decided to employ the services of a private investigator which made me realize he had a mistress at work. Apparently, asking for a divorce was a bitter pill to swallow but I had to. I’m in a better place now and my baby gives me all the joy I want and need. You can contact the private investigator via on fredvalcyberghost@gmail.com and you can text or call him on +14236411452
Do you suspect your spouse of cheating, are you being overly paranoid or seeing signs of infidelity…Then he sure is cheating: I was in that exact same position when I met Fred through my best friend James who helped me hack into my boyfriend’s phone, it was like a miracle when he helped me clone my boyfriend’s phone and I got first-hand information from his phone. Now I get all his incoming and outgoing text messages, emails, call logs, web browsing history, photos and videos, instant messengers(facebook, whatsapp, bbm, IG etc) , GPS locations, phone taps to get live transmissions on all phone conversations. if you need help contact his gmail on fredvalcyberghost@gmail.com and you can also text, call him on +14236411452

Hello everyone I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 1 year and had constant outbreaks especially in my private area. During the first 6 months.This virus started circulating all over my body and I was taking treatment from different doctors because I had no choice. I wanted to be better by all means. but it is what I told myself and I believed …I was browsing on the internet and I came across a testimony of someone I believe I knew had the same issue as me, on the internet testifying about a Man called DR.SALATO, and on how he cured her from 3year HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of this herbal doctor man, advising anybody who has herpes or any kind of illness to contact him and also be cured of any diseases he or she needs healing from. Without hesitation i emailed him telling him about my (HSV 2) cause i needed to be cured by all means and this time a natural way of healing. ..He told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him because I believed and already I saw who was cured from his treatment ,so I had faith.. and DR. SALATO prepared his Natural medicine which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after two weeks of using his Roots/ Herbs medicine, liquid and cream herbs, I was totally cured. no more itching , pain on me anymore. DR. SALATO assured me. and advised some time to go and get the test done again and see.(. the part I have been waiting for ) I went to my doctor to do another test. Behold, the result came out negative. ..Everyone with any illness.. My advice is if you have such a disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like HPV, HSV HBV, HIV, ALS, HBP, CANCER etc. you should not hesitate Because I did not.
