How to Fix Facebook Account Temporarily Unavailable Issue

Is your Facebook account temporarily unavailable? Do you see a message stating that your account is unavailable or temporarily blocked? Don’t worry; it’s not a big issue. Facebook is one of the biggest social media platforms, with millions of active users and new people joining every day. For such websites, it is normal to have downtime while transferring that extensive data. Many Facebook users may face this problem, but solving it is not a big deal.

In this article, we covered how to solve the Facebook account temporarily unavailable issue.

Downtime Issues

First, we should see if the site downtime is causing this problem. You can follow those steps:

  1. Open the Facebook website on your browser.
  2. Check whether the homepage is functioning.
  3. If you face a problem reaching the homepage, then the issue is from the server. 

After a while, the problem will be fixed.

Cookies & Cache

Another reason you face this problem may be due to cookies and cache on your browser. You will have a better experience using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox while reaching your Facebook account. If you still have this problem even if you use those browsers, then apply these steps:

  1. Open your browser and find cookies from the “Settings” section. 
  2. Delete all the cookies and cache.
  3. Restart, and try logging in again.

That should work for this problem.

    I have been receiving the site unavilable error for months, regardless of which device I try. None of my devices (desktops and laptops on separate networks) can open the Facebook home page without the error. I have cleared cookies and caches. The only workaround is to go to facebook.com/home, then select Go To News Feed; then I get a Facebook page with a shortcut to my page. Any suggestions?

      Have you linked your Instagram and Facebook accounts? Maybe you can try it through Instagram.

        Hi, Dennis. I have tried to link the two but when Instagram tries to link to Facebook, I get the same error. Can you think of any other way to link them? Note: I tried to post this comment earlier but looks like it didn’t take for some reason.

          Sorry to hear that. If you can reach the Facebook Help Center, you can try to report a page unavailable error. There is a form created for this issue. Enter the URL of the unavailable page and describe the problem / error you’re having. You can also add a screenshot to this form.
