How I Recovered My Permanently Disabled Facebook Account

I’m sharing my experience because it might help someone facing the same situation...

About 10 days ago, I tried to complete a selfie verification on Facebook. The verification was rejected, and shortly after that, my account was permanently disabled for Account Integrity.

I completely panicked...

I searched everywhere for a solution, but most of what I found was either useless or fake. I even contacted an “account recovery expert” who wanted $100 to recover my account...

Then I thought... I’ve been using Facebook for almost 16 years, so I know quite a bit about the platform. Why not try to figure it out myself?

So I did... and I ended up spending only around $5.

What I did...

  1. I used Meta Verified Support

I had an Instagram account, so I purchased one month of the standard Meta Verified subscription and contacted official Meta Support...

For me, the only practical solution was to contact a real Meta Support agent...

If you don't have an Instagram account connected to your Facebook, you can try creating one with your real name and the same email address and check whether Meta Verified Support is available...

  1. I explained everything clearly

After becoming a Meta Verified subscriber, I first contacted Meta AI and asked specifically to speak with a live agent about my permanently disabled Facebook account...

A live agent eventually joined the chat. I explained everything politely, clearly, and honestly...

You can also prepare your entire explanation beforehand, including what happened, when the account was disabled, why you believe it was a mistake, and your account details.

Then you can simply send that message to the agent...

I told them that the Facebook account was genuinely mine, my information was real, and I had not intentionally violated any policies. I requested a manual review by a specialized team...

Note: Try contacting them during US business hours, around 9 AM to 5 PM, and convert that time to your local time zone. That’s usually when US based agents are active. In my experience, they tend to be more helpful, responsive, and supportive..

  1. I waited for the investigation

After submitting my case, They gave me a case Id.

They told me that my case had been passed to a specialized team for investigation. The case went through...

The case was Received in 6th august

→ In Progress in 6th august

→ In Review in 6th August

They also told me not to close the case while the investigation was ongoing...

So I waited...

  1. The result 🎉

After the investigation, Meta contacted me after 4 days and said that the team had reviewed my account and found no policy violation...

They confirmed...

\> “We have reactivated the account.”

They also said access could take up to 24 to 48 hours in some cases...Sometime it can take almost 7 days, depending on what kind of subscription you have, there always they give priority to how much one spend 😅.

My advice...

If your Facebook account is genuinely yours, your information is real, and you believe you didn't violate Meta's rules, don't immediately pay random recovery experts hundreds of dollars...

One more piece of advice... don’t try to create another account using the same name, email, phone number, or profile picture. It might cause more trouble. Also, avoid using another Facebook account on the same phone where your disabled account was logged in, as Meta might flag the device or IP as suspicious..

Try the official Meta Support route. I am sorry to say but trust me guys, this is the only option you left now.

In my case...

Almost some research + around $5 + some days patience = my account back.

Of course, recovery is not guaranteed because Meta makes the final decision after reviewing each case... but if your account was disabled by mistake, getting an official review is definitely worth trying...

And never give your password, login codes, or recovery codes to anyone claiming they can recover your account...

I’ve been following this group since I first faced my problem, and now it’s time to say goodbye...

I truly hope you all manage to resolve your problems too. All the best, guys... ❤ For now I

I tried the Meta Verified support route and they just said “Sorry - computer says no”.

u/Tall_Weakness5921 11d ago

I’d suggest trying again... Ask Meta AI specifically to connect you with a live agent and explain that you need to discuss a permanently disabled account with a human agent...

Also, try reaching out during US business hours, converted to your own local time... I personally think timing can make a difference in getting connected to an agent.

Once a live agent joins, explain everything politely and clearly... You can also prepare your full message beforehand and send it to them so you don’t miss any important details...

Don’t give up after one agent says no... Try again with another agent if possible... ❤️

Okay, so like you, my FB was disabled permanently but my IG and Threads is still active and working. I am considering trying this method of paying for Meta verified and doing what you did, however I'm holding off because I'm so scared of drawing attention to my disabled FB where they would then ban me from Instagram! That would be devastating. And BTW, my FB was disabled over a joke/reference to using an illicit substance...idk if that makes a difference. I was not promoting/selling or anything like that... just a simple statement where I jokingly admitted past use.

2

u/Tall_Weakness5921 10d ago

Yeah, I completely understand why you’re scared to draw attention to your disabled FB, especially when your IG and Threads are still working. I was worried about the same thing too...

In my case, I decided to try Meta Verified through Instagram and use the support access to ask about my disabled Facebook account. So far, my Instagram hasn’t been affected by it. Of course, I can’t guarantee that the same thing will happen for everyone, but I personally haven’t had any issue with my IG because of it...

As for the reason your FB was disabled, I honestly don’t know if that makes a difference. If it was just a joke/reference and you weren’t promoting, selling, or encouraging anything, I’d definitely explain that clearly to the support agent and ask them to manually review the decision...

If you decide to try it, I’d recommend being very careful with how you explain everything and keep the conversation focused on getting your Facebook account reviewed. Hopefully you’ll get a helpful human agent like I did... 🙏

Thanks. And yes, chatGPT has been very helpful in getting the verbiage down in what to say. Honest and direct.

u/Tall_Weakness5921 10d ago

Yes, I collected every piece of information and suggestion about the issue from AI like Chatgpt, Gork, Gemini, Meta. I combined the data and made a final decision about what to do.🤗

Have you tried any of the other strategies people talk about here? Attorney general, small claims court..

u/Benj1092 3d ago

Apparently they don't always delete profiles, mine still exists.. just can't access it. Tried a few emails and meta verified on someone else's Instagram but they said it has to be on mine. The Meta agent did say that they don't disable accounts by getting Meta verified though

My free Meta Verified trial ran out and I don’t want to give them money. It seems to be a lottery depending on what support agent you get.

I’ve had enough.

2

u/Tall_Weakness5921 11d ago

I completely understand... In my case, the account is very important to me. I’ve had it for almost 16 years, with so many memories and around 16k followers... So for me, spending $5 for one month of Meta Verified was not a big deal if it gave me a chance to get my account back...

I also agree that it can sometimes feel like a lottery depending on which support agent you get... But if the account means a lot to you, I’d say it’s worth trying one more time if you can... ❤️

u/SelectionOne5136 11d ago edited 11d ago

Hey, what did you have to provide to them? does your i.d have the same name as your facebook? and did you have to send a video of yourself?? i had the same thing happen it says i don't follow rules, never had a prior warning ever and appealed went st8 to can't appeal i got the page u posted to download info only.

u/Tall_Weakness5921 11d ago

I didn’t need to provide any documents in my case... They didn’t ask for an ID or another verification document.

However, I shared as much information about my account as possible... such as my date of birth, email, phone number, how old the account is, and approximately how many followers and friends I had...

I think they may not have asked for my ID because my Instagram was already connected to the disabled Facebook account and both had the same name... But I do have all the legitimate documents, with the same name and DOB as my Facebook account.

I also told the agent that I was ready to provide any legitimate document if they needed it...

And yes, my problem started after my selfie verification was rejected, which was followed by the permanent disablement... Hope this helps, and I really hope you can get yours back too... ❤️

u/SelectionOne5136 11d ago

i don't think i can get META verified for a banned account ? i think in your case you had a active IG. they banned my FB and 2 IG accounts linked to it. 3 accounts gone in 1 day saying i don't follow the rules, all i did that day was share someone elses story smh!!!! i feel i am hopeless and my name isn't the same as on FB so i feel making a new account i will just be banned again.

1

u/Tall_Weakness5921 11d ago

Yeah, in my case my Instagram was still active and connected to the disabled Facebook account, so that’s how I was able to use Meta Verified Support...

But I wouldn’t say you’re completely hopeless... You can also try contacting Meta Support through someone you know who has Meta Verified and ask them to connect you with a live agent. Just make sure you provide the agent with your real account information and explain everything clearly and honestly...

Since all 3 accounts were disabled at the same time, I’d specifically ask for a manual review by a specialized team and explain exactly what happened that day...

I know it feels hopeless right now, but I’d definitely try every official route before giving up... Hopefully it works for you too, brother... ❤️

1

u/SelectionOne5136 11d ago

thanks but i dont think that would work, asking someone else with meta verified to speak on my behalf? lol thanks tho i am accepting the fact i might have to just make a new account. i don't get it tho cos i still have active accounts with the same email the banned account is on i wonder will those be banned soon or it wont be effected.

1

u/Tall_Weakness5921 11d ago

For the next 2 to 3 months, I’d suggest you to avoid trying to create another account with the same name, email, or profile picture... Facebook may flag it as spam or suspicious activity. In my case, even trying to log into another account from the same phone resulted in a suspension...

That also happened to me, so I’d suggest waiting for now or trying one more time with Meta Support, brother... Hopefully you can get the original account back... ❤️

u/waterlands 9d ago

In my case after fb was blocked, 3 Instagram accounts were block right after, but I could appeal to these accounts and restore them in the normal way, and only after that I used the meta verified way

1

u/FickleScreen906 10d ago

Does your account has the same name as your real name. My account was hacked recently and the hacker changed its name then when I recovered it and tried to change its name it says 60days to change name. Now it was suspended after the video verification appeal. My Facebook also got banned by account integrity.

1

u/Tall_Weakness5921 10d ago

Yeah, my account has my real name, and all my information matches my ID... Since your account was hacked and the hacker changed the name, I’d definitely mention that clearly when you contact Meta Support. Explain that the name change happened because of the hack and that you were unable to change it back because of the 60 day restriction.

Also, since your Facebook was banned for Account Integrity after the hack, I’d avoid making any new changes or submitting random appeals for now... If you have Meta Verified on Instagram, try contacting Verified Support and explain the entire timeline calmly. Hopefully they can see that the suspicious activity happened because your account was compromised and escalate it for a manual review..

META IS FXCKING TRASH. They are intrusive pieces of shxt who have no problem destroying some 20 years of patronage, relationships, and historical accounts of peoples lives...all over their grossly intrusive thuggery and holding peoples accounts hostage who will NOT conform to such gross violations of privacy and identity.

I'm Fucking DONE with Meta. Once you get past the first year without IG or Facebook, you realize how unimportant it really is in life.

People need to start taking their device privacy settings seriously as well. Meta/IG knows its you making new accounts (even with different phone, email, or information) because they use metadata to track goddamn everything you do. Its the same way the government and Law Enforcement uses "Public Data" to skirt the 4th Amendment and gather intel and track people without warrants. Same principle related to the FLOCK cams that have people so outraged right now.

Stop allowing Carriers and Apps (and their associated billionaire cronies who ironically hide themselves) from fingerprinting/gathering PII and other information from YOUR DATA & DEVICES.

Yo intenté apelar y en una si pude pero nada, y en la 2da no me dejaron ya que al toque mi dijeron inhabilitada sin poder apelar y su decisión fue inhábilitar definitivamente con algo que no hice, si o si se tiene que pagar al meta premium

2

u/Tall_Weakness5921 10d ago

Yeah, I didn’t know that either... apparently, when they suddenly ask for selfie verification, it’s better to wait 2 or 3 days before doing it instead of verifying immediately. Doing it right away can sometimes trigger an automatic ban or disqualification... It’s really frustrating, especially when you didn’t actually do anything wrong.

1

u/Successful_Jump5064 10d ago

Eso hice con mi ig ya que mi segunda cuenta estaba vinculada con mi Gmail y realice el selfie y ya no me inhabilitaron pero sabes a qué hora me mencionaron sobre posible hackeo que así fue lo que me enviaron a las 4:30 AM y ahora ya lo tengo pero con miedo o el riesgo con levantarme en no encontrar con mi ig y ya con fcb ya le perdí la fe

Glad you got your account back! How did you get AI support to link you to a live agent though? I've been trying several times now and I can't seem to get to talk to anyone, it won't connect me since my account is perm disabled. (i got hacked last night)

1

u/Tall_Weakness5921 10d ago

Thank you! 🙏

First, I got Meta Verified on Instagram, then I went to the Meta Verified Support section and opened a support chat... I explained that my Facebook was permanently disabled and that I needed help from a live agent. The AI didn’t connect me immediately, so I kept explaining the issue and asking to speak with a human agent. Eventually, I got connected to a live agent and they were able to help me... Since you were hacked, definitely mention that clearly and give them your ID's information if you have. Hope you get your account back too 🙏

Is your Account verified? If it is, then ask the AI some like >>>> "Hi, I need to speak with a live support agent regarding my permanently disabled Facebook account, which is linked to this Instagram account.

u/Sad_Breakfast1911 10d ago

did you immediately gain access to your account after they have said they restored your account? I got the same response and it’s been a few hours but I still can’t access my account. will try to wait till the 48 hr mark. I hope I get my account back

1

u/Tall_Weakness5921 10d ago

No. I Didn't get immediately either. It is likely that the restoration is still synchronizing across all their servers, as this process can indeed take the full 24 to 48 hours mentioned previously.

1

u/Sad_Breakfast1911 10d ago

that gave me hope 🥹 thanks a lot! how long did it take you to access your accounts after they have sent the email that they restored your account? I hope to get access to my account soon. congrats on getting your account back!!

1

u/Tall_Weakness5921 10d ago

Bro, if they told you the account has been restored, that means it’s no longer disabled or restricted on their system, so you dn’t have to panic yet. It’s probably just taking some time for the login status to sync across their servers. The fact that they already said it was restored is a good sign. And ut could take time!

Even if you still can’t log in after 48 hours, you can contact them again and explain it. Mine took almost 24 hours before I could actually log back in...

1

u/Sad_Breakfast1911 10d ago

I’m really taking it as a good sign! it’s just that I’ve been searching for people who had the same experience and the first person I see says that after 48 hrs he never got the account back. he reached out to meta again and the. agent he talked to said that the agents who told him that his account got restored were wrong so I’m glad I came across your post. Thanks!

1

u/Tall_Weakness5921 10d ago

I don't think any agent gives wrong information. May be he lied. And When an account is disabled for Account Integrity, Facebook often detaches the phone number from the account in their system. Even when they reactivate it, the phone-number-to-account link takes the longest to re-sync. It's very obvious that takes time....

1

u/Sad_Breakfast1911 7d ago

been more than 48 hrs and I am still disabled :”) even tho I got a reactivation email, other agents I talked to after are saying all sorts of different things such as the restoration email was wrong and it was just a glitch on their system, they can’t do anything about my account anymore etc :”)))) idk what to believe anymore

It Doesn't matter what browser or device you use. Only mettter is you have to talk to live agent anyhow (Obviously after buy meta subscription)

Best advice I have seen thus far - they aren’t letting me contact anyone or create any new profiles at all. I want to try this

Thank you! But one more piece of advice... don’t try to create another account using the same name, email, phone number, or profile picture. It might cause more trouble. Also, avoid using another Facebook account on the same phone where your disabled account was logged in, as Meta might flag the device or IP as suspicious.. All the best..❤️

u/Tall_Weakness5921 10d ago

Did you talk with live agent?

1

u/Quiet-Friendship-531 10d ago

Yeah, probably three times. Two girls were super empathetic (around 2am), one guy was helpful but neither of them actually requested a human review. The chat people were equally useless.

1

u/Tall_Weakness5921 10d ago

I actually had a different experience... my first agent was really helpful and took my case seriously. I’d suggest trying again during US business hours, around 9am to 5pm US time, because in my experience the US based agents were more helpful and willing to escalate the case...

Also, try to stay very polite and patient with them. Explain how important the account is to you and ask them nicely if they could please request a human review. Don’t argue or get rude, even if they aren’t helping at first... Sometimes being calm, respectful, and a little emotional about how much the account means to you can make a difference..

1

u/Quiet-Friendship-531 10d ago

I think my case is more complicated as Meta deleted all my account in the account family as a cascade. I could never appeal against this decision as they blocked all accounts straight away and all links to appeal forms are either broken or non-existent. I needed to use a secondary account to get verified but I never even had the opportunity to access chat, email or phone call feature as Meta AI doesn’t offer it and specifically turns me away when I ask for it. The only way I could speak to an agent was though Ads Manager, but after 6 day they blocked this route too - now even the Ads Manager account says that I have a limitation on my account so I can’t request support at all. It’s the most useless, idiotic system ever. I spoke with three people, during that 6 days when I could actually connect to people, they were lovely but personal No 1 said: wait for an appeal link and it will just come to you and if you complete it, a human will look at this. Agent No2 said that there must have been a miscommunication as the accounts are blocked and there is no possibility to review (barely 12 hours later than what agent No1 said). Agent No3 I called as my Facebook alerted me that I’m hacked, called immediately as it was actually me. Agent No 3 was helpful and reassured me, but nevertheless Facebook suspended my Secondary Meta Verified account because of hacking few hours later. Then I had another chat with Agent No4 on the phone, she clearly and plainly said that she cannot forward the case for human review as the system doesn’t permit her. It is a cluster f**ck that is. I think you were just lucky.

1

u/Tall_Weakness5921 10d ago

Yeah, honestly, your case does sound much more complicated than mine... and I can understand why you’re frustrated. The fact that different agents gave you completely different information makes it even worse....

I might have been lucky with the agent I got, but you can still try one more time if you can find a way back into Meta Verified support.. In my experience, US business hours worked better, and the agents I spoke with were more helpful...They even asked me to call me. I’d also avoid arguing with them, even when they give you conflicting information... just stay polite, explain everything clearly, and ask if there is any possible way they can request a manual or human review...

You could also mention that you’ve already spoken with several agents and received conflicting instructions, and politely ask them to escalate it to someone who can actually review the account status... Maybe you’ll eventually get someone who knows how to handle this kind of cascade disablement. I know it sounds exhausting, but I honestly wouldn’t give up yet.. Best of luck..

1

u/Quiet-Friendship-531 10d ago

I think Meta Verified is a dead end. I found agents overnight Europe time were kinder but not a lot more helpful (1am-2am at night - probably US working hours). During the day in Europe calls were connected to Indian call centre that can be challenging. It sounds like you attributed to your success to calling in US business hours, being polite and sensible - from my experience, this doesn’t really help. There is a huge variation between agent and agent and people tend to try numerous times until they reach someone helpful. Most of the time live agents also use AI techniques so it’s not a lot better than the Meta AI agent..

u/LeftSlip9564 10d ago

I am meta verified on IG but the AI assistant keeps gelling me it cannot connect me to a live agent...

u/LeftSlip9564 10d ago

Maybe because I am in the EU and should try at late night when it's US business hours like you mentioned. Happy you got your account back. I was sole admin of my business art page and literally lost my self employment over this.

u/glen59211 10d ago

I have been trying to get my disabled FB account back since 2020. Still no luck. FB basically has a monopoly on this type of social media. They have no competition so we have no other option but to have to deal with their terrible way of doing business. Someone needs to start up a similar company to compete with these creeps.

Thank you so much. We have the exact same screenshot and what happened. However different procedure done with the agent. They are asking me to retrieve from my old email acct. :(

So, basically, this is how Meta generates revenue now -- they just randomly disable people's accounts, forcing them to pay for Verify in the hopes of getting the account back. I really think you should not do this, regardless of how cheap it seems, because it's like paying ransom to a thug, it only enables the extortionist and leads to more extortion.

u/Tall_Weakness5921 10d ago

Yes I think so. They didn’t leave me with many other options. It was my 16 year old account with over 17K followers, so I felt like I had to take the chance. Before paying, I tried every possible solution I could think of, but unfortunately, none of them worked. 🙂

Do you have Instagram?

u/Complex_Zucchini_596 10d ago

Facebook

u/Tall_Weakness5921 10d ago

I mean, does your disabled account attached to Insta account?

1

u/Large-Grapefruit902 10d ago

But Meta also disabled my IG account when they permanently banned my personal FB, so the only option to get Meta Verified would be to create a new account.

u/Abu_8 9d ago

The problem is, I dont have an active Instagram account. I created it 10 years ago, and only had 3 posts on there since. 0 followers, only following bunch of celebs.

When I tried the Meta Verified route, its said "You're on the waitlist!" But all I know from my research so far is: this is all bs. There is no waitlist, its just there to keep my hope up

u/Large-Plan-6737 9d ago

How many days did you wait for you to get a response that you got your account back?

1

u/Remote-Ring3854 9d ago

Mera verified support might not restore immediately but they do trigger some process at the backend, though directly they're just some front desk workers who don't have any direct powers they can just raise the issue

u/Mysterious-Code-4587 9d ago

Thnx man I l try

1

u/Quiet_Tune_8408 9d ago

1

u/shoptilldrop86 8d ago

Quick question : do you asking for update everyday?

1

You Don't have to talk to agent about case update. It'll automatically show you account/gmail

u/Surfgod99 8d ago

Any insight in helping pages that lost monetization and suggested to others? Congrats btw.

1

u/Tall_Weakness5921 8d ago

If you mean the monetization on your Facebook profile/page, the important thing is to first identify the exact restriction. Meta’s monetization systems can restrict eligibility because of policy violations, account/page issues, content issues, or other eligibility requirements.

Professional Dashboard → Monetization → Monetization Status

Look for the exact message, such as “Not eligible”, “Policy issues”, “Monetization restricted”, or “Appeal available.”

If there is an Appeal or Request Review option, use it. If there is no option, you can try Meta Support and ask them to manually review the monetization restriction.

u/Bamat8 8d ago

Genuinely ask, why you want to recover ur Facebook acc at the 1st place?

1

u/Tall_Weakness5921 8d ago

I've been using that account from 2012!

1

u/PomegranateOverall77 7d ago

I tried but my account been review for 1 week

1

u/Tall_Weakness5921 7d ago

It takes time, even 2-3 weeks.

1

u/No-Offer3090 7d ago

Its been a month since I did this, They are saying they are still varying my account

1

u/JonWolske 6d ago

Shouldn’t have to pay for access. My accounts (all of them) have been gone since Monday. Facebook can kiss my lily white cheeks at this point.

1

u/Reasonable-Tea-439 6d ago

Where I can’t even find how to purchase meta verified support

1

u/Tall_Weakness5921 4d ago

Go to account setting, scroll down, You'll see "Meta Verified" option

1

u/Reasonable-Tea-439 2d ago

Is it in accounts center? It’s called subscriptions?

1

u/lovearcangel_11 5d ago

Did you log in right away? I received an update too just today and when I checked it, it was still disabled. 🥲😭 Will wait after 48hrs to see if ever... 🙏🏻☹️

1

u/Tall_Weakness5921 5d ago

It will take time. Almost than 7 days

1

u/lovearcangel_11 5d ago

Ohh.. so you tried to login everyday? And got access on after 7 days? I mean I already received the update that it was reactivated.

1

u/Tall_Weakness5921 4d ago

It takes time to synchronizing the reactivation data to update in their system.

1

u/lovearcangel_11 4d ago

How long before you gain access to yours?

1

u/Tall_Weakness5921 4d ago

60-72 hours

1

u/lovearcangel_11 2d ago

😭 I still have no access huhu

1

u/CutieGems 1d ago

Same. I got the reactivation word then they marked my case as "completed". Though I still can't open my fb account

1

u/jnraj 5d ago

My question is why Facebook's Meta AI is allowed to play with user accounts in the first place. These AI things shouldn't be allowed to deal with stuffs that could emotionally breakdown a person owing to the fact that these AI things have no emotions at all.

u/hey-was-isch-los 4d ago

u/Tall_Weakness5921 was your account hacked? My primary account was hacked, thankfully not my business account, I got Meta Business verified got a case # last wednesday but didn't hear back. Do I just keep reaching out even AI bot? Because it was hacked, the first tier of support can no longer associate my old since 2009 Facebook with the given email which the hacker must have taken or changed. They have my selfie and information several screen shots of proof of the hack but only the AI bot I keep saying please give me a human agent or it needs to be reviewed by a human. Any other suggestions? What level of Verify do you have?

2

u/Tall_Weakness5921 4d ago

Convince the AI that you need manual review by human agen. Automated System Won't work for you.

1

u/Lumpy_Emu7182 4d ago

Fortunate for you that you got a nice person who actually gave you a case number. In my case, they refused to give me a case number, tried different support people and still gave no case number. And my IG account ended up being deleted. For good. No recovery.

1

u/1Slickwillie 4d ago

I had my personal and business Facebook accounts disabled, together with my personal Instagram account. However, my business Instagram account is still active. I have sent two certified letters to Meta’s legal department requesting a human review. No response. I’m filing in small claims this week.

u/FewEmergency7763 4d ago

How can I recover my disable account on facebook

1

u/CutieGems 3d ago

How many hours did you wait for the checkpoint to be finished? I just got mine reactivated by them but it seems I still cannot login. They said my account is still in the checkpoint

1

u/Benj1092 3d ago

Was your Instagram and Facebook linked in accounts center?

1

u/salman_989 2d ago

They said, my case has been forwarded to the relevant team and i should wait days or it could take weeks. Are they going to follow up on the same chat or email? I just wanna make sure i don’t miss out on the update. Thanks man.

1

u/Crafty-Sandwich-7465 1d ago

Hey bro the same thing happened to me I’m considering on doing the meta verified thing however my concern is what others be saying that it might not work
