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!

I’m using this opportunity to recommend and show my gratitude to the professional hacker Beam start. After being scammed by fakes in trying to hack my so called cheat of a husband , we were going through hard times almost before our divorce and my husband was always insecure and jealous , the hacker helped me hacked my husband and i was able to clone his phone successfully, granting me unlimited access to his mails, whatsapp and Facebook messenger. You can contact him on his email (( hack4wise @gmail com ))
I was hesitant at first, but when I couldn’t bear the obvious signs of infidelity that my ex-husband kept pushing to my face, I had no choice but to give the thought of hiring a hacker to hack my cheating spouse’s phone. Hiring a hacker was a lot more tedious and difficult than I had thought and anticipated. Especially just coming from the dashed hopes of spy apps, I was quite optimistic and enthusiastic about the thought of hiring a hacker to help me get into my ex’s phone. But I later realized it wasn’t as easy as I had imagined. I was at the point of giving up when William Peterson brought all the solution I needed.
Conclusion: William Peterson gained access to my ex’s entire phone; phone calls, text messages, whatsapp hack, social media hack, email hack etc. Apart from cell phone and app, you can also hack facebook and other social media platforms. Email — intertechhacker264@gmail com
This man is the truth! he takes the time to speak with you and answer your questions as well as help educate you on the things you need to do in order to not fall into the same spot again. he explained in detail the things he’s going to do on my behalf to help with negative reports and evictions that deprived me the opportunity of getting a new home then and make sure you understand why he’s doing it. And to know that he has been dealing with credit issues for over 12 years just gives me comfort, because it proves he’s taken the time to educate himself on every credit related problem and is now able to assist and educate others at the same time. I’m so happy I came across such personality , You can reach him through email : CLASSICREPAIR4U@GMAIL.COM , very responsive and ready to help .
I applied for a credit card on my own but my request was denied because of my poor credit score and negative reports that I have on my credit , I nearly lost hope on getting a credit card or my credit ever being fixed but it all finally came to life with the help of a tech guru I read of online who can help get you back on your feet financially again and is able to give your credit a new look permanently, I reached out to him last month after receiving a letter from the credit card company listing out reasons why it was declined , I provided hi with every details he asked for including the letter I got from the company and with the details I provided he did a great job on my credit and applied for a platinum gold card for me which has been approved and sent to me , I’m glad to have this off my back .. quickly reach him through email for yours . Email : CLASSICREPAIR4U@GMAIL.COM .
