Facebook account restricted/banned after changing phone number and device - Need advice
I am writing this because I am in a difficult situation and really need some advice. Today, while I was using Facebook, my account suddenly got restricted/banned while I was scrolling. I am very confused as to why this happened. A few days ago, I changed both my phone number and my device. I realize now that I made a mistake by not unlinking my old phone number from my account before doing so. I have already submitted my identification documents to Facebook to verify my identity, but I have not received any response from them yet. I am starting to panic because I work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of my country, and losing access to my Facebook account is causing me significant trouble. Does anyone know how to resolve this? Is there any way to contact a real person at Facebook support to fix this? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated
