Frequently asked questions

Why can't I see a Facebook Page or post that a friend can?

Almost always an audience or region setting on the post, an age gate on the Page, or the poster restricted you. The visibility guides above walk through each check in order.

How do I see every ad a business is running?

The Meta Ad Library at facebook.com/ads/library shows every active ad for any Page, free, no account needed. The Ad Library guides above explain the filters and how to read what a competitor is testing.

Can other people see which groups I am in?

Public group memberships show on your profile unless you hide the Groups section; private and secret group memberships are only visible to other members. The privacy guides above cover the exact settings.

Why is my Facebook Story not sharing to Instagram or the other way round?

The two accounts are not linked in Accounts Center, or the sharing toggle was turned off in a recent update. Re-link in Settings, Accounts Center, Sharing across profiles.

How do I recover a hacked or locked Facebook account?

Start at facebook.com/hacked on a device you have used before, follow the identity steps, then remove unknown sessions and turn on two-factor authentication. Do not pay anyone who offers to recover it for you.

If that's on your list too, read how to turn on two factor authentication on Facebook.
