What is The Reason Behind Facebook Accounts Being Blocked?

by Sandra Drago Technical Expert

Many people complain about getting locked out of their accounts for no reason on Facebook which leads to the question, why has Facebook locked your account?

There can be many reasons and in today's blog, we will be discussing some of the major ones.

Reasons for locked Facebook account

The social media platform runs a scan during the database update that occurs quite frequently and if it somehow thinks of your account as spam or a fake account, then your account will get locked. This can also block accounts that didn't fall into that category at times too.

Facebook may lock you out of your account if it has been reported by several people for disturbing them or for any illegal activity. Make sure to follow all the guidelines to avoid this from happening.

The addition of too many people at once can also lead to Facebook blocking your account since adding too many people at one time makes you look like a spammer and the platform makes sure that you can't spam anymore.

These are some of the possible reasons that may get you locked out of your account on Facebook.
