What Meta support chat can and cannot do for a restricted ad account

Support chat can explain notices, point you to the right form and sometimes pass a billing or technical problem on. It usually cannot lift a restriction itself. The decision on a restricted ad account comes through the review in Account Quality, so file that first and use chat for questions around it.

What chat is useful for

What chat usually cannot do

Get more out of a chat

  1. File the review in Account Quality before you open chat.
  2. Have the ad account ID, the notice wording and the date ready.
  3. Ask one clear question per chat.
  4. Save a copy or screenshot of the conversation.
  5. If the agent says to wait, write down the date and what they said.

If you get the same answer each time

Repeated chats rarely change the outcome. Put the effort into the review request and the documents it asks for. Our review request guide covers what to write.

Official sources

Meta changes its help pages, menus and forms often. Follow the wording on your own screen and the current Help Center. Ads Account Recovery is an independent service and is not affiliated with Meta.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Is the support chat a real person?

It can be an assistant or a person, and the screen does not always make clear which. Treat both the same: keep notes and stick to facts.

Why can support not see my old ad sets?

Agents work from the tools they are given, which may not show full history. Download your own reports while you still have access.

Should I open many chats?

No. One clear chat with your details is better than several short ones.
