How to Request Review of Removed Content on Facebook (2026 Guide)

Facebook removed your post, video, or photo? You have the right to request a review of removed content on Facebook. Here is exactly how the process works in 2026 — and what to do when the standard review does not work.

How to Request Review of Removed Content on Facebook

1. Go to your Support Inbox: Facebook Settings → Help & Support → Support Inbox.
2. Find the removed content under “Your alerts”.
3. Click the alert to see why Facebook removed it.
4. Click “Request Review” (or “Disagree with decision”).
5. Explain briefly why you believe the removal was a mistake. Be factual and polite.
6. Submit and wait — Facebook usually responds within a few days.

What Happens After You Request Review?

Facebook re-examines your content — sometimes with human reviewers, sometimes automated. You will get a notification with the final decision: either the content is restored or the removal is upheld.

If Your Review Request Is Rejected

• Check the exact policy cited — understanding the rule helps you argue better.
• Try the Oversight Board — for significant cases, Facebook’s independent Oversight Board accepts appeals.
• Re-upload carefully — if the content itself is fine, a modified re-upload may survive.
• Get professional help — repeated rejections often need an expert approach.

Common Reasons Content Gets Removed

• Automated false positives (very common with videos)
• Mass reporting by competitors or bad actors
• Copyright or trademark flags
• Actual policy violations
