What Happens When You Report a Problem on Facebook?

Once you have submitted your report a problem form, Facebook engineers will receive the report and take time to review it. If you had included everything in your report, it would only take a few days for the problem to be resolved.

However, if the review team deems your information as insufficient, Facebook will reach out for more information to help the engineers resolve the issue. If the Facebook Support inbox status for a problem you reported says it is resolved, but you are still experiencing the same problem, be sure to report it again with detailed information.

You can even attach supporting screenshots if you have them. Just keep in mind that if you see something, say something. Reporting problems make Facebook a better place for everyone.
