How To Contact Facebook: A Directory of 120+ Forms

[Last updated: April 2024] If you’ve ever had reason to contact Facebook, chances are you may have felt frustrated at how difficult it is to get any real support. For example, whether you’ve been locked out of your Facebook account, your account got hacked, your Facebook Ad Account got shut down for no good reason, you’ve discovered a bug,  or you need a profile of a deceased loved one to be memorialized, then you’ll definitely want to contact Facebook.

However, getting any semblance of a response from a real person at Facebook seems impossible.

HOW exactly do you reach someone at Facebook and how do you actually get a response? I’ve got you covered in this directory that I first started in 2010 and my team and keep updated!

Facebook used to provide a modicum of support via a series of email addresses, e.g. info@facebook.com. However, in an effort to better serve its members and scale the support, the only way to reach Facebook is through a VAST array of custom forms. Thing is, all those forms are scattered throughout the Help Center and you can often go on a complete and utter wild goose chase attempting to find the right one. Grr!

Help is at hand! My team and I scoured Facebook (and Google!) for you and have compiled this helpful directory of Facebook’s contact forms. As we become aware of more, I’ll add to this directory.

UPDATE: Use Facebook’s guide to show you exactly where and  how to report abusive content or spam on Facebook. How To Report Things.

PLEASE NOTE: Comments have now been CLOSED on this post. Please do not call or email my offices with Facebook issues, as I am unable to provide Facebook tech support, due to sheer volume and due to the fact I do not work for Facebook so am unable to provide direct assistance with various issues. If you are unable to contact Facebook directly through any of these forms, unfortunately, you just need to keep trying. Thank you!
