Facebook Page restricted: how to check its status and options

If you manage a Facebook Page and see a violation or limitation, start with the notice for that Page. Page Status lets you review certain details and may offer a way to request a review, depending on the violation. You need Facebook access to the Page to open this section.

Open Page Status on a computer

Meta documents this desktop route:

1. Log in to Facebook and click your profile photo in the top right.
2. Select See all profiles and switch to the Page you want to check.
3. Click the Page’s profile photo, then open Settings & privacy > Settings.
4. In the left menu, choose Page setup > Page Status.

If you cannot switch to the Page profile or do not see Page Status, confirm that you have Facebook access. Our guide to Facebook Page access explains how to check who can manage it.

Read the notice and available options

Page Status may show recent Community Standards violations, fact-checker ratings, intellectual property issues, clickbait, unoriginal content, removed events and content that is not eligible for suggestions. This list describes what Meta may show; it does not by itself explain every reach change or publishing error.

Open the relevant notice and click See Details. For some Community Standards violations, Meta may let you accept the decision or request a review, depending on the type. Follow the option shown for that notice. Sending a request does not confirm that Meta will accept it or change the decision.

If no violation or review option appears

A panel without visible violations does not establish that the Page has no limitations. Meta says Page Status does not include every area of Community Standards or every Page policy violation. If you do not see a notice, do not assume the issue has been diagnosed.

This route covers a Page’s status. An access, ownership, personal profile or ad account issue may have a different notice and process; use the exact message Facebook shows to identify it. Read Meta’s Page Status guidance.
