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!

It was really frustrated and disturbed when i suspect my partner cheating on me and i couldn’t confront her because she’ll always lie about it, i went for counselling and i came in contact with FRED, i never buy the idea after a few process, He did a data dive into my partner’s mobile and he did provide me with all the evidence I needed, starting from Email, Calls, WhatsApp chat and a lot more, it was a shocking moment, I was not happy about what I saw. It wasn’t easy to move on, but I’m now free from all her lies, his service is cheap and affordable. I never believed this until I saw the evidence, we all need to be free and live happily. He offer services which includes: *spy on cheating spouse *identification of cheating partner or Employees, *Mole in a system, *kipping tab on Employees or Doing online Background checks *Gaining Full Access to any mobile device, WhatsApp, Email, GPS, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Kik, Hangout, Viber and any other social media accounts, *Accessing University Portals or any websites.. Contact him on fredvalcyberghost@gmail.com and call, text and him on (+14236411452)
It is heartbreaking and very disappointing to feel not loved and appreciated enough because if you are loved and appreciated enough by your partner there will be no need for him to cheat and give any attention to any woman other than yourself, I felt this way for so many years without knowing what to do and I couldn’t leave him because there was no concrete evidence to back up the feelings I had and none of my families believed me when I told them I think my husband was seeing someone else so I was determined to prove it, I went searching online on how to hack or spy my husband phone without him knowing then I saw a lot of people recommending Fred hacker as the best in the game well I wasted no time in contacting via on fredvalcyberghost@gmail.com and you can call/text him on +14236411452 and he gave me full access to his phone I was able to get the evidence needed to divorce him please don’t waste time being unhappy.
I am David Sarah, Before I was scammed, I thought those who fell for them were fools, but when I lost $40k in a binary options scam, I didn’t even know it had happened until weeks later. The site and services I used seemed so genuine, and everything felt legit, but when they stopped answering my emails and messages, that’s when I knew something was up. I was going to accept defeat until a friend advised me to contact Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery Service of which I did, they were incredibly helpful and worked hard to get all my money back. I’d highly recommend them to anyone who has been swindled of their currency.
